If you have watched Transformers beyond G1, well, good news. That fabled, technic color Menasor is making its way as a toy money can buy. And yes, it is a blatant recolor of the Transformers Generations Legacy Toys Menasor, which took quite a while for all the members to gather a few years ago. However, you don’t have to endure the excruciatingly long wait for the Transformers Takara Tomy New Legends NL-02 Menasor. It is not a G1 toy like the Missing Link. This set is a recolor of the pretty decent mainline combiner from 2022/23.
What makes the New Legends NL-02 Menasor interesting is that Takara Tomy bundles the entire Stunticon crew together in one go. No staggered releases. No hunting down Drag Strip here, and Breakdown three months later. You get Motormaster, Wild Rider, Dead End, Drag Strip, and Breakdown straight out of the box, ready to form Menasor the moment you clear some desk space.
The headline attraction, of course, is the Technicolor-inspired deco—a deep-cut homage longtime fans will recognize immediately. It gives the combiner a very different presence from the standard Legacy release, turning what used to be a road-going menace into something that looks like it drove straight out of an alternate-universe toy catalog.
Transformation follows the familiar Legacy Menasor combiner system, with Motormaster forming the core frame while the four Stunticons attach as limbs. The structure keeps the combined mode solid and display-friendly, which was one of the stronger points of the original release to begin with.
In short, this is Menasor for collectors who missed the earlier rollout—or for those who already have it and still somehow have room for one more combiner on the shelf. The Transformers Takara Tomy New Legends NL-02 Menasor delivers the full team in one package, just with a louder paint job and none of the waiting.
If you are down, you can pre-order the Transformers Takara Tomy New Legends NL-02 Menasor from Hasbropulse.com for US$274.99. Shipping is expected to happen around October 26, 2026.
