Title:
Menasor With Heavy Load
Description:
Menasor (Ultra, 2006)
Accessories: Giant Planet Cyber Key
Cyber Key Code: us4r
Known designers: Eric Siebenaler (Hasbro)
Sold in the fifth wave of Cybertron Ultra-class toys (and the only new toy in that assortment), Menasor transforms into a Cybertronic (Gigantion?) excavation machine. He has an "assault” vehicle mode that widens the space between his drills and separates the plow halves on his front so his partner Mini-Con Heavy Load can fit in, expanding the blade’s width. In robot mode, Menasor’s chest panel flips down to reveal a space for Heavy Load to fit in his robot mode. The panel also has a double-barreled flip-down (non-firing) blaster. He also has an alternate "work” robot mode, which widens his stance and reverses the direction of his knees.
Menasor’s drill-arm gimmicks are fully functional in all modes. Placing a Mini-Con on the Powerlinx plug on his right drill unlocks the spring-activated grippers to the side, plus unlocks the drill, which can extend by pushing the Mini-Con forward. The left drill spins through a gear-wheel mechanism on its underside, while plugging a Cyber Key to its Key jack activates electronic lights and sounds.
Menasor’s vehicle mode actually connects together better than shown in many stock photos. The plugs on the backs of his elbows fit into the sockets on his feet; these are supposed to connect together in vehicle mode. (The official instructions and show model do not even acknowledge that the connectors exist.) They do so fairly well, but must be disconnected for Menasor’s Heavy-Load-added assault-vehicle mode. It actually comes packed like this, though there’s no mention of it anywhere.
The Mini-Con hardpoints on his knees are notable for being awkwardly placed; in his true robot mode, the legs can’t be positioned straight down because the pegs bump into each other. This gives the Menasor an unusual bowlegged stance, and additionally adding Mini-Cons to the pegs will prevent him from being able to stand at all, since the added robots would make Menasor actually have to do a split.
In Japan, "Moledive” was only available through e-HOBBY’s online ordering service. He was basically the Hasbro release complete with packaging (with the legal information covered in stickers full of Japanese legal information), in October of 2006... ten months after Galaxy Force stopped in Japan.
This mold was used as the basis for the non-toy Omega Doom.
