But a loss somewhat as the new hands were kinda tiny...and on top of that, couldn't properly hold Shockwave in his alt form. It still translated into a win though, as despite that, Menasor now has larger, more sturdier feet to help him stomp Autobot scum, and as a result, my favorite combiner of all time finally feels complete...



Which I kid you not, turned into a loss just moments after this pic was taken. The larger, sturdier, feet caused him to take his first dive ever off of the shelf due to the ankle rocker joint (never thought I'd complain about one of those) built into the upgrade being unable to support his bulky weight properly. (Either that, or Metroplex kicked him off the shelf from behind, in a move either to bully Menasor or to display his insecurities about another big bot sharing the shelf with him...) Menasor mostly survived the fall (a win!) but his sword upgrade piece did not, breaking during the tumble (a loss...) It might be sour grapes, but at least it's not that big of a loss, as I actually think the upgrade made the sword a little too big...(sorta win?)

I actually quite like the hands included in those sets. I feel they're a good size. The feet on the other hand are just way too big. I like the joints in the feet, but I just think they look really goofy. So, I've only ever displayed him with the hands. I will say that this style of hand works better with superion thanks to his better proportions.

It would've been cool if hasbro had included proper hands and feet in the first place.. They must be losing money hand over fist for them to be pinching as many pennies as they are.
