Also interesting is that the introduction of a new Combiner called Menasor is announced.

Is there a picture of Menasor? Had drag strip a few times as buddy, shoots like red alert.

For pictures and description of Menasor see here . Note this is not the angry birds version, but the original Menasor.
Menasor consists of 5 Stunticons, but up till now ABT only has 4 of them. The 5th stunticon Wildrider is missing.

Wonder what this actually means for Menasor. Are we going to get him after all the Stunticons are here? Or are we not going to get him because all of the Stunticons are there? (Then again, we have Megatron and Galvatron and the Energons as seperate characters…)

Guess we’ll just have to find out.

I assume that it won’t be a problem if all the stunticons are not there. Devastator is composed of 6 bots (see here) not present in ABT and that wasn’t a problem.

His weapon is strong, but reload time is extremely slow.  What is the obsession with slowness lately?  At least we get the fast forward effect in this event.

I just noticed that Drag Strip is upgrading using a combination of Pig Iron and Deceptigears instead of Pig Iron and Badness Processors.

Interesting.

Tried it at level 10 and it can obliterate WMT’s with just one shot.

Something a bit weird with this character and Mission Portals, he’s labeled as an “Intelligence” type character on the character select, however when the Intelligence Mission is over, he gets a one star rank with messages like “Ran Away” or “Didn’t Plan Ahead” (meaning it’s not because he’s underleveled)

I’ll check to see if he works with the “Firepower” type missions, considering that’s what the other Corporal Pig characters are.

EDIT: Yep, he’s a Firepower character labeled as an Intelligence character.

@flusteredbirb good spot, Drag Strip is indeed a firepower character. This will be fixed in the next update :)

Not only can (level 15) Drag Strip obliterate a WMT with one shot but he also destroys Boss Pig with one shot!

@lewie4 There is a minor issue in the token exchange. Dragstrip’s Pistol accessory actually unlocks Grapple‘s Ramhorn.
