Master Disaster is a Decepticon-allied human from the Dark of the Moon portion of the movie continuity family.
Normally we'd tell you which one is Master Disaster, but we think it's pretty clear. Hahahahaha please don't kill me.

Mason Divelbiss, aka Master Disaster, is an Australian mercenary, and a really awesome driver. He uses his skills to help out Drag Strip, taking care of the actual driving so Drag Strip can concentrate on other things, like recruiting other drivers to the Decepticon cause. His primary specialty is Covert Operations, with a secondary specialty in Counter-Insurgency Tactics.

Fiction

Born in Canberra, Australia, Mason Divelbiss was a natural bully who learned at a young age how to throw his weight around. A champion boxer in secondary school, Divelbiss attended the [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Royal Military College, Duntroon|{{#if:RMC|RMC|Royal Military College, Duntroon}}]]. There he fell in with fellow cadet Sebastian Bludd. They joined the [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Special Air Service Regiment|{{#if:Special Air Service|Special Air Service|Special Air Service Regiment}}]] before they mustered out as soon as possible to join the [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}French Foreign Legion|{{#if:||French Foreign Legion}}]]. By that point, Divelbiss was wanted for war crimes in Rhodesia and Libya. When approached by Drag Strip about working for the Decepticons, Divelbiss had no qualms. As "Master Disaster", he formed an underground racing circuit to identify potential human agents for the Decepticons. Master Disaster was apprehended by Sergeant Zach Deetz (posing as a NASCAR driver) and Leadfoot. He languished for two years in Blackwater Prison before new Cemetery Wind recruit Brandon Khendsovan suggested him to Agent James Savoy. Divelbiss jumped at the chance, even volunteering to wear untested reverse-engineered Cybertronian stealth gear made by KSI. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/08

Dark of the Moon

[edit]
  • Master Disaster / Decepticon Drag Strip (Human Alliance Basic, 2011)
    • Japanese ID number: DD12
Part of the third wave of Dark of the Moon MechTech Human Alliance Triple Changer figures, Master Disaster is a small figure with the appearance of a fully suited race car driver with a Decepticon insignia on his back. He comes packaged with Drag Strip, and is compatible with any Human Alliance robot figure.
For some reason, he is made mostly of smoky transparent plastic (and not transparent purple plastic, as shown in his prototype stock photos) and has sculpted Cyberglyphics on his right arm, torso, and left leg. Creepy.

Notes

[edit]
  • Much of his early history parallels that of G.I. Joe's Major Bludd, including his time in the Special Air Service and the French Foreign Legion, and being wanted in Rhodesia and Libya. Major Bludd also ended up in Blackwater Prison.
  • His testing of experimental Cybertronian stealth gear explains why the figure is transparent with molded Cyberglyphics.
  • His rank code, given as O-3, would put him as a captain in the [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Australian Army|{{#if:||Australian Army}}]].
  • Master Disaster being Australian and setting up underground races is taken directly from the other Master Disaster.
  • His profile's motto, as given by Ask Vector Prime, is a paraphrased quote from the [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Futurama|{{#if:||Futurama}}]] episode "Future Stock".
  • Master Disaster's odd transparent deco is likely a nod to the M.A.S.K. Split Seconds line, which featured very similar transparent "computer clone" figures of each driver and also featured a similar racecar called Skybolt.
