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! Acidic oil pumps and flows from his every orifice. He may have some anger issues.

Fiction

e-HOBBY comics

TRUKK AND MUNKY!!!!!

In 2034, Oilmaster tracked the Decepticon fugitive Magnificus (and his tiny pal Ga'mede) to Iron Town, a remote hideout for outlaws. Magnificus was able to briefly halt the bounty hunter's advance by tossing a warhead at him, but the subsequent damage done to Oilmaster's shell only made him angrier. As he leapt out of his Pretender shell, sword in hand and ready for the killing blow, he was blasted by a strange interloper who called himself "Hawk". Badlands

Wings Universe

Oilmaster was part of the Decepticon forces that repelled back the Cybertronian invasion of Cybertron. He was miniaturized, kept in Magnificus's chest, and then enlarged by his partner once they hit the battlefield. A Common Foe

TransTech

A bounty hunter in his universe of origin, Oilmaster continued his craft in Nexus 208.0 Epsilon though all his bounties were paid by Cryotek. He landed himself as number 6 on Cybertron's most wanted list. Andromeda - Axiom Nexus News, 2015/06/10

Oilmaster was eventually caught and jailed in Axiom Nexus's offworlder maximum security prison, where only two of his three components were fitted with restrainers due to the TransTechs' unfamiliarity with Double Pretenders. This resulted in some interference in his processors, rendering him somewhat "quirky". His cellmate Packrat took advantage of Oilmaster's newfound persuasiveness, and goaded him into picking a fight with the new arrivals C-81, Battletrap, Ricochet, and Nebulon. Oilmaster was then "talked down" by Packrat in order for them all to become allies.

Then, Packrat concocted an escape plan to get the whole group back on the outside. Oilmaster's aerial component was given a magne-current amplifier, tasked with sneaking by the security systems, and clamp the device onto the prison's generator. 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. It then converted into its "Alley Cleaner" trionic blaster mode to be wielded by his ground component, and blast away the guards that stood in their way. Oilmaster's Pretender shell took care of its own share of Autorooper guards with its brute physical strength. When Cybertron's most wanted finally made their way out of the prison, they took advantage of the planet-wide power outage to take refuge in the city's underground tunnel network. There, they encountered Burn Out and Lift-Ticket, who took off upon seeing them. Fearing that these two might report them to the authorities, the criminal gave chase. Losing the duo's trail, Oilmaster and the others walked into a Waruder nest. Oilmaster was the first to be attacked, a Waruder Storm Rider tackling his two smaller components right out of his Pretender shell! As more Waruder soldiers arrived, Oilmaster retaliated by spraying them with corrosive oil, as well as blasting them. However, the Waruders had plenty of soldiers to spare, and their sheer numbers forced the criminals to flee.

In the chase that ensued, Oilmaster was severely damaged, and was unable to help his comrades even as reinforcements arrived in the form of General Optimus Prime and Sergeant Hound, as well as the returning Lift-Ticket and Burn Out. Thankfully, the battle soon came to an end when C-81 managed to grab hold of the Waruders' leader, and forced the bug into negotiating. Oilmaster was repaired and allowed to "slip away" as thanks for his involvement in repelling the Waruder invasion. Cybertron's Most Wanted

  • "Oilmaster"
The toy that would decades later be named Oilmaster was an abandoned, unreleased toy from a discarded expansion to the Pretender toyline. "Oilmaster" had a gorilla-like shell, from which two robots would emerge. Two potential decoes are known, with the grey-furred/red armored one having been on display at BotCon 1996.

Oilmaster is a redeco of Generations Legends Class Swerve and Flanker which fit into a newly-sculpted Pretender shell designed by Boss Fight Studio after the original unreleased Oilmaster toy, with the Swerve redeco colored in homage to Oilmaster's inner robot from "Badlands". The shell has shoulder and neck rotational joints, 5mm pegholes in its wrists, plus two 5mm pegholes on its back for storage. His shell weapons are from Construct-Bots sets.
Oilmaster was available exclusively in a five-figure box set, packaged with Battletrap, Packrat, Megatron, and Stepper.
The shell was redecoed for TFSS 5.0 Optimus Prime. The inner robot mold was also used to make TFSS 5.0 Quickslinger and Hi-Q. It also served as the basis of the non-toy Shattered Glass incarnation of Swerve.


Notes

  • 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 component of Oilmaster like the larger robot and Pretender shell. As a result, the jet robot still possesses a color scheme similar to that of the Micromaster.
