[edit] Transformers: Generation One (1986)
Menasor is the combined form to the group of five Decepticons known as the Stunticons. He is immensely powerful, capable of delivering a punch with the force of 140 tons. However, owing to the massively conflicting personalities of his componant parts - and even more significantly the hatred Breakdown, Drag Strip, Wildrider and Dead End have for their leader Motormaster - he is the least stable of the Gestalt Transformers. He would be the ultimate Decepticon weapon were it not for the conflict within him.
[edit] Animated series
Menasor first appeared in the cartoon in the second part of The Key To Vector Sigma. Megatron ordered the Stunticons to merge after coming under attack from the Aerialbots - but the Aerialbots merged too, creating Superion. Menasor was winning against Superion; however, the newly-repaired Omega Supreme arrived and turned the fight.
[edit] Transformers: Generation 2 (unreleased)
Menasor was repainted during the early nineties but was never released. Although the four Stunticon limbs eventually made it to the public in very limited numbers, Motormaster did not and therefore Menasor too was only seen on the reverse of the packaging to those toys. Menasor did not appear in any Generation 2 fiction.
[edit] Transformers: Universe (unreleased)
The artwork to an unreleased toy named Menasor was revealed by website Iacon One, however no pictures of this toy was ever released to the public if this toy in fact actually existed. The artwork is clearly of a toy that would have been Thunderclash originating from Europe during 1992. Menasor is not known whether to be a completely new individual or an upgrade to the original character.
[edit] Transformers: Cybertron (2005)
Menasor was the name to a Transformer from the fictional planet Gigantion, also known as the Giant Planet and transformed into a large scale drill. He sided with Megatron because he was tired of Gigantion's tradition's that didn't make sense. In return for the location of the Cyber Planet Key, Menasor gets to lead the Giant Planet. Menasor eventually joined back his leader Metroplex after seeing that he was in the wrong to have joined the Decepticons in the first place. At the center of the of Gigantion, Menasor managed to defeat Metroplex and was about to finish the job when Drillbit and Heavyload stepped in the way. With some convincing, Menasor came over to the Autobots. He is known as Moledive in Japan. In the US cartoon Menasor is teamed up with his minicon partner Heavy Load.
BIO
Menasor knows the power of the Giant Planet. He burns with jealousy of the glory of Metroplex, and is disgusted that the leader of the Giant Planet uses all of the power at his disposal only for peace. Menasor has waited centuries for the arrival of any like Megatron - a true leader with the wisdom to know the true purpose of power. With the might of the Decepticons at his back, he hopes to overthrow Metroplex and turn the Giant Planet into what it was always meant to be - a conquering war world at the center of a Galactic Empire!
