@@Benscollectables Honestly i may have mistakened it for a sprue mark ,but I have seen several reviews where the stress mark appears there ,and its always that grey plastic they use for the hinge for the waist.
just got mine and I have NO intention of getting the trailer so this setup suits me fine! They all look so glorious, I am keeping the lot in robot mode
Nicely done getting everything from all three makers. Can’t get enough of all of them. All have strengths and weaknesses. Xtransbot closest to toon thus far for what is out. Dx9 feels the lightest but certainly not the worst and fanstoy for once is not my favorite though getting the trailer built in is brilliant. Can’t wait for all of them to come out
The XTB one has the most impressive mass shifting of any Transformer I own. *Edit* Also for me personally I like a scale where Motormaster towers over his comrades. The XTB scale suits me perfectly.
Olivia White I’ve also gone for this set, size and cost works for me. Also, nice to see another fan of the NoSleep Podcast who’s also into Transformers. I’m a huge fan of both.
I have this one, Dragstrip, and Breakdown. If I can track down the other two for a decent price, I'm just going to display them in bot mode against the Autobot car bots. I just can't see myself paying the insane amount for the trailer AND addon kit. If X-Transbots makes a box set that is reasonably priced, I'd pull the trigger on that.
If I didn't already own three different Motormasters and intend to get the G2 version of this guy, I'd pick up two more of them (and a whole extra set of the XTB G1 Stunticons).
I know right? Like, if you want the slimmer cleaner mode or if you want the "non-cheating" fully-integrated form, you can't win either way with X-Transbots figure, especially since you don't even get the trailer. There's no point in purchasing this figure at all.
@@xPLAYnOfficial I guess it's a preference I think he has the best looking bot mode. His backpack is big but doesn't seem to hinder his stability or articulation. Fanstoys transformation is the shit, but the profile looks bad imo, especially his legs.
@@GibDozer1 Yeah, that is true. I mean, there's nothing wrong with liking this figure. It's just that if you want that cartoon-accurate Menasor, on paper there's no reason to pick this one over the others. But hey, that's just a theory... ;)
@@xPLAYnOfficial I don't think there is really a bad choice out of the three. I prefer my combiner teams over gestalts so the FT and DX9 limb bots are just too big for me.
Still a nice lookin' piece, doesn't bother me, and what do yo uexpect, they're fanstoys, suepr high quality. Just got my Gravestone transformed and posed up next to my FT Magnum
Definitely looks awesome! I think his face is little too purple for my taste. Personally I think the Fanstoys is the best, but the other two are right up there as phenomenal figures forsure. Can't wait to see them in combine mode! As always great review!💯❤
Great vid! Ben do you think the Fanstoys is really worth 3 times the XT one? I like the idea of having both cab and trailer but its almost $300-$400 now :(
I think xtb is my favorite. But how crazy is it that we have three awesome motor masters? Actually 4, because I still think power train is awesome too.
I bought all three, I sold XTransbots straight away it just wasn’t the right figure for me, Motormaster had this weird purple glow which I didn’t like, and him having a backpack makes no sense since he’s only a cab, The other Xtransbots Stunticons are way too small for me, Fans Toys Motormaster is good, I also own the Dx9, I prefer the face sculpting on the Dx9 Capone, And I would most likely collect the other Dx9 Stunticons
Roadking might not be that much taller than the other Motormasters, but I really don't think he should be way taller than Optimus Prime. Gravestone is still too tall, but I can live with it. I'm collecting the Xtransbots set, and am very happy with their limb bots' scale.
@Shield Liger I didn't say anything about saving money, though I guarantee even with the trailer the total on XTB Menasor will be less than FT. It's all about the scale, and FT and DX9 limb bots are way too big for me.
@Shield Liger I'll agree they(FT) are a bit overpriced. Takara is WAY overpriced lol. I've been slowly picking up the XTB Stunticons used on ebay. More often than not it's about how valuable having that character is to me. Stunticons aren't worth more than XTB prices to me, and size wise they've got to scale with MP cars. That makes XTB the only realistic option for my collection.
Fanstoys Roadking is the only one that has the proper cab and trailer, If the figure doesn’t do that its not a true Motormaster. Are people forgetting what the xtransbots Menasor looks like?
No offense, but how is releasing Motormaster as is, keeping the shipping costs down? Instead of a one time shipping, now Xtransbots makes people pay shipping costs twice. Obviously a bigger package means higher shipping costs, but it can't be more than two seperate shipping costs for a somewhat smaller package. Good review though, it was a good watch.
@@Benscollectables Ah, like so. I see your point, but someone who buys a Transformers team that can combine and then -doesn't- combine them, is someone who is removed from my Christmas card list. 😂 Thanks for your reply.
19:38 Stress mark on the grey hinge that holds the upper and lower torso together.
TroubledTurtle I’ve taken photos on Facebook and honestly can’t see the stress mark ...

Love the tractor cab mode, so cash money. And very little kibble. Sadly, I'm not a Menasor maniac, I'm more of a Bruticus boy. :D

A good option is to shorten Gravestones arms when posing as it make the proportions look better 👍
Dan's GoPro Adventures good shout
no 90 degree bend but still looks better to me, thanks for the tip dude

I do like Motormaster's robot mode. He looks a real hoodlum!
Love gravestone! Great review!
good job!!! thank you for good review ben!!

Wonder if they’ll do a full box set after they release the trailer

How can xtb’s back pack stick out more than fanstoys . 🤦♂️

Love the video keep it coming
Khalil Umrani thank you I’ll try
Can you or anyone else share where to get those turning display stands that you use? I googled and can't seem to find any remotely close to those.
It seems everybody is reviewing it this week
Ng Wei Shen like busses they all come along at once
@@Benscollectables Yup, mine is coming next week
I’ll Gladly wait for the trailer if that means it’s not gonna be a fisher price looking piece of shiz type trailer. I’m looking at you Dx9

Is there anyone who knows someone from xtransbots that can find out if Abaddon will ever get made?

Great video Ben! Any chance you'll be doing your top 10 of 2019?
Lol I am so behind aren’t I

Why do I like motormaster more than optimus prime
I like this one the best, but all three have their merits. Both the FT and DX9 limb bots are too big imo, so it's an easy choice for me.

XTB. When you look up "full of promise but always seem to choke at the last minute due to 1 stupid choice." A picture of XTB's product line pops up.

Kenneth Van eijden sorry ,I meant in terms of those who don’t want the trailer bud
