ART THOU BORED?!

A younger Motor Master was part of a Decepticon force during the Great War. He seemed quite disinterested in the battle he was fighting, as strangely enough, he was seen reading an issue of CSI. Like all the participants in that battle, he ended up a victim of Oil Slick's Cosmic Rust. Bots of Science Though reports would suggest that all victims perished, Motor Master actually survived on Spark support until the mid-21st century, when he readily accepted an offer to have his spark placed in a healthy, new body cloned from an Autobot bodyform as part of an elaborate prison break.

NEED A LITTLE EXCITEMENT?

"The Motor Master" was sent, along with the other Stunticons and Toxitron, on a mission to break Megatron and other Decepticons out of Trypticon Prison. In the guise of entertainers, they planned to rig the former Decepticon gladiatorial arena in Kaon with explosives, blasting the prison walls open and killing the audience in the process.

All was going well until the Stunticons were abruptly assaulted in mid-rehearsal by Cheetor, who opened fire on the disguised Decepticons. Once the Autobot cop settled down, the rehearsal continued. The Motor Master helped to corner the "helpless" Drag Strip, before being chased off by the bumbling Toxitron.

On the night of the plan's execution, Sideswipe and Cheetor returned in the middle of the show, having worked out the Stunticons' plan. The Stunticons fought back with their stolen modifications, with Wildrider and the Motor Master roughing up Sideswipe. The two cop-bots were cornered, but Toxitron leapt into the fray, knocking out the structural supports for a giant ramp and sending it crashing down on the Stunticons. Toxitron turned out to actually be a disguised Optimus Prime, who revealed their plan to everyone watching. Before being apprehended, the Motor Master made one final attempt, taking Sideswipe hostage, threatening to scrap him (On his last day before retirement! What are the odds?) and blow up the arena unless Megatron and the other prisoners were released. The Motor Master was caught off guard when Sideswipe activated Optimus Prime's axe and careened backwards. The Motor Master was incarcerated in Trypticon Prison, alongside the very Decepticons he and his teammates had sought to free. The Stunti-Con Job

Timelines

[edit]
Bonesaw is ready!
  • The Stunti-Con-Job (Box set, 2011)
  • Accessories: Axe/backpack, water cannon
Animated The Motormaster [sic] is a retool of Voyager Class Optimus Prime, who transforms into a futuristic Earth-mode fire truck (well, the front half of one, at least). His rear portion includes a giant extinguisher cannon, which can become a hand weapon and really squirts water. His chunk of trailer-facade also transforms into a giant double-bladed axe. These weapons can store together on his back, giving the appearance of wings and a jet pack. The Motormaster also has an Automorph feature: pressing a button on his butt flips down and rotates his lower body into the proper position for robot mode.
The Motormaster was only available as part of the BotCon 2011 box set, along with Dead End, Breakdown, Drag Strip, and Wildrider.
This mold (using the original head) was also used to make Toxitron and Nemesis Prime.

Legacy

[edit]
I got you for threeeeeee minutes!
  • Animated Universe Decepticon Motormaster (Voyager Class, 2024)
Released in the fourth wave of Legacy United Voyagers, "Animated Universe Decepticon Motormaster" is an incorrectly-named alternate-head retool and redeco of Animated Universe Optimus Prime, inspired by the above BotCon toy, transforming into the same ol' fire truck front half. An additional set of wheels are hidden inside the front bumper to help with the stability of the vehicle mode, as the cab is sculpted far ahead from the actual wheel axles. In a surprising case of attention to detail, the inside of his cab has full-featured sculpted interior details, with a static steering wheel and stereo in the chest, seats on the backs of the shoulders, and even sun shades in the roof! Naturally, he omits the auto-transformation gimmick for sweet, sweet robot-mode articulation.
He comes with a battle axe with extendable handle, which can be mounted onto the truck hitch for storage. The "thruster" on the back of the axe-head is Fire Blast effect-compatible, allowing one to re-create the rocket effect from the cartoon. The very bottom tip of the axe-handle is also Fire-Blast-effect-compatible.
Motormaster was announced on the May 14, 2024 fanstream, before being fully revealed on June 13 on Mark Maher's Instagram as part of a week of reveals. He was put of for pre-order later that day.
