- Gripper (Motorvators, 1991)
- Lightspeed (Motorvators, 1991)
- Known designers: Andy Couzens (Hasbro)
- Released in the seventh year of the European/Australisian-market Transformers line, the Motorvators are redecoes of the three "smaller" Takara Victory Brainmaster toys, each transforming into a large racing car. Each Motorvator included an "Energon figure" (the smaller Brainmaster unit), a mini-robot that can pilot the vehicle mode and forms the face of the robot mode by inserting them into the large robot's chest cavity then closing up the torso-plate.
- While each Motorvator came with the sword from the original releases of their molds, they lacked all of the other accessories used to beef up the Brainmasters' combined form Road Ceasar. However, the Motorvators can still join together (though their instructions make no mention of this functionality), but the lack of combiner kibble results in a pretty undercooked-looking super robot.
- They were released in a packaging design reminiscent of the concurrently-available Classics figures.
