    Default X-Transbots MP styled Monolith, or Menasor to the rest of us.

    Preorders are up for the first member, Breakdown. And despite your opinion of XTB and their quality, $40US per limb (we don't yet know what Motormaster will cost) makes it worth it for some despite the great potential for issues.

    The style is very much going for G1 masterpiece

    I think I'll at least pick up breakdown and see what he's like.

    what interests me with this release:
    -i dont really have a problem with any of the x transbots designs (very g1 aesthetics) and their QC seems to be on the improve.
    -that price (more than half of any other 3rd party combiner limbs)

    I am normally very particular about which 3P I buy (I like the TFC combiners so I only get them) but this is very tempting not only because of the G1esque nature but the price. If an Aussie retailer stocks it at a good price then I will probably pick up at least Breakdown as he is one of my favourite characters.

    The drama behind this figure and the companies involved is quite interesting. I suspect the low price is XTB's way of levelling the playing field.

    Do Tell! ??

    It's quite cheap in comparison to other combiners, perhaps they are moving towards more of a turnover for profit model.

    There has been another Menasor doing the rounds on Facepain this last week, it's massive next to MP10 prime. I like the alt modes on it but not really a keen of the design aesthetic otherwise. It'll be interesting to see how much it costs especially since this one has started so low.

    I'm interested, but will wait to see the combined mode and other bots before committing.
    Which brings us to where we are today...

    cheers, so The design was stolen by a mould designer from the Factory where XTransbots have their stuff made, and it's being bootlegged as a sideswipe. That's pretty dirty, but as you say an interesting story.
