'''Oilmaster''' (オイルマスター ''Oirumasutā'') is one of the Decepticons' most feared bounty hunters. His Pretender shell is a heavily armed gorilla, dripping with acidic oil, and as a [[Double Pretender]], he also has two separate robot bodies capable of combination, all of which share a mind. That said, despite his complex mental arrangement, he's a none-too-bright thug at heart, and prone to rage whenever his shell is damaged.

Oilmaster completed his task, but whether or not Packrat's plan would have worked is unknown; at that moment the power went out for the entirety of Axiom Nexus.

Oilmaster's aerial component rejoined his Pretender shell and his ground component as the entire group were making their way out of the prison.

Oilmaster is a Decepticon Pretender from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Gorilla my dreams.

Oilmaster (オイルマスター Oirumasutā) is one of the Decepticons' most feared bounty hunters. His Pretender shell is a heavily armed gorilla, dripping with acidic oil, and as a Double Pretender, he also has two separate robot bodies capable of combination, all of which share a mind. That said, despite his complex mental arrangement, he's a none-too-bright thug at heart, and prone to rage whenever his shell is damaged.

  • "Oilmaster" (Double Pretender, 1989?)
The toy that would decades later be named Oilmaster was an abandoned, unreleased toy from a discarded expansion to the Pretender subline. "Oilmaster" had a gorilla-like shell, from which two robots would emerge.
Two different prototypes of the outer shell have been uncovered, with two different color schemes, but nothing on what the inner robots would have been like has been found. The grey-furred/red armored shell was put on display at BotCon 1996. Fandom rumor held that this toy was supposed to become a Pretender form for Optimus Prime, but what that rumor was based on has been lost to time. This would result in an actual gorilla-shell-Pretender Optimus Prime decades later, however.

    • Accessories: gun, sword, friggin' Pretender shell
Timelines Oilmaster is a redeco of Generations Legends Class Swerve and Flanker, which fit together into a newly-sculpted Pretender shell designed by Boss Fight Studio after the original unreleased Oilmaster toy. The Swerve redeco is colored to resemble Oilmaster's inner robot from "Badlands". The shell has shoulder and neck rotational joints (the neck being a first for Pretender shells), 5 mm post-holes in its wrists, plus two 5 mm holes on its back for weapon storage. Unlike most Pretenders, the shell does not split in half to store the inner robots: instead the backpack swings up on a hinge for access to the inner cavity, with the truck slotting into the backpack-part proper, and the jet pegging into a post-hole inside the body.
His shell weapons are from Construct-Bots sets, notably Optimus Prime's sword and Megatron's blaster rifle.
Oilmaster was available exclusively in the BotCon 2015 five-figure box set, packaged with Battletrap, Packrat, Megatron, and Stepper.
Unfortunately, quite a few samples of Oilmaster are victims of poor quality control, with the legs being glued on incorrectly. This means he tends to have difficulty standing flat on his feet.
This set of molds was used to make TFSS 5.0 Optimus Prime and Hi-Q. The jet robot mold was also used to make TFSS 5.0 Quickslinger. It also served as the model for the non-toy Shattered Glass incarnation of Swerve.

Notes

[edit]
  • Oilmaster is named in homage to fan blogger "Abura Chojin" ("Oil Master"), who's a noted gorilla enthusiast in addition to being an extreme super-robot fan!
  • The Double Pretender gimmick of being two robots within a single shell was not apparent in his first fictional appearance.
  • Oilmaster's jet component was originally intended to be an updated form of Airwave before it was decided that the jet form would be another extension of Oilmaster's mind like the larger robot and Pretender shell. As a result, the jet module still possesses a color scheme similar to that of Airwave.
