[Trivial Psychic]

The rest of the Stunticons arrived a few days early, courtesy of HTS, and honestly, I feel that a lot of the reviewers out there on Youtube and various sites kinda stretched on how great the new combiners were. Honestly, once assembled into the gesalt mode, they are not much fun at all. Things constantly unpeg, the combined robots themselves are a bit unsteady, hands and feet don't peg or rest properly and fall off easily, and the "armor" bots (in this case Black Jack) don't peg on very well and fall off at the slightest touch. The same thing happens just simply moving limbs...the combiners just kinda fall apart in your hands.

I really love the bots as individuals, and Hasbro had done some great strides with the Generations line, especially the revamped clamshell packaging (the new comic books were bad ass as well, especially the bios on the back,) but as far as actual combiners go...they still have a bit to learn.



Still...Menasor does look a lot better in person than he does in photos, so at least that allowed me to feel a little less buyers guilt. Here's Menasor (with Black Jack) alongside Bruticus (with Boosticus upgrade kit...)


In addition, these also arrived in the mail today courtesy of a nice fellow on Ebay...


The disappointment felt in Menasor has suddenly dissipated..
