Menasor (G1)

===IDW publishing continuity===

<!--[[Image:Menasor_first_idw_appearance.png|thumb|right|Menasor's first appearance in IDW comics]]-->

After [[Drag Strip]], [[Wildrider]], and [[Motormaster]] freed their captured colleague [[Breakdown]] from Skywatch Maj. Spike Witwicky, Breakdown was fixed and modified by [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]].  Swindle now had a complete combiner team, that could merge into his brand new creation, Menasor.  When the Autobots led by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] approached the group of defecting Autobots led by [[Rodimus Prime]] to arrest them, Menasor was revealed for the first time.  

Swindle announced his plan to kill all the Autobots (both Magnus's team and Rodimus Prime's defectors), and then instructed Menasor to kill Ultra Magnus first.

Menasor proved quite destructive, though mostly to his own faction's brand new starship.  Unfortunately Swindle, while a great conman and weapons specialist is apparently not a very capable cyberneuro surgeon and left each limb with it's own individual mind.  For some reason, when it came down to it, the rather self concious limbs were less than happy about being used to guard MotorMaster's torso and split in annoyance.  After such a less than stellar showing, Ultra Magnus couldn't even lock up the team as [[Hot Rod|someone]] decided to borrow his ship.
