But at the same time I've always loathed the CW Motormaster and have used CW Cyclonus with the 4 Stunticon limbs. I did like Legacy Motormaster once he was revealed, and a few months later I walked into a Game Stop in search of a discounted Coronation Starscream. I did find Starscream there, along with a Dragstrip that was also marked down to $12, so I thought What the hell. Next thing I knew I was buying the others online and preordering the last 2.
Most people feel the same as you. I have the UW Menasor, and I'm ok with it. Normally I am a huge fan of animation accurate design, but the fact that Legacy Stunticons had no compatibility with other combiners, in fact, it can only be assembled one way (well the leg components can be exchanged, but you get what I mean) was a real hindrance to my interest. I think with the legs being able to be "somewhat" compatible with CW/UW/PotP was an early attempt, but as the designers stated (and fans several have confirmed) the connection isn't stable, and CW Legs look terrible on Legacy Menasor. When it came to the arms, they just said, "forget it, we're doing our own thing".
Ultimately, I figure one Menasor will be my TRUE Menasor, and the other will be my "Autobot Masquerade" Menasor, I just haven't determined which is which yet.
