Stunticon (Prime)

The name or term "Stunticon" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Stunticon (disambiguation).

The Stunticons are a Decepticon subgroup from the Prime portion of the Aligned continuity family.

The Stunticons plot to take over planets' roads in anyway they can. Whether that be searching for Cybertronian weapons which can help them or setting up posts at different roadways, controlled by one of their individual members. It doesn't matter what it takes as long as they can take over the roads, they'll be satisfied. After all, the roads are their turf.

They are currently focusing their attention on Earth, but unfortunately a group of stupid lawbots is constantly interfering with their plans in order to defend the squishies. Stocking up on Cybertronian relics, is the only way they can defend themselves and the tracking device they found will help with this.

The group includes;

• The rough and tough leader obsessed with being "ruler of the roads", Motormaster.
• The brute and overconfident, Heatseeker, who fires heat-seeking missiles.
• The confidence lacking, Wildbreak, who can emit painful waves and unearth roads with beams fired from his tires.
• Wildbreak's "buddy ol pal". The scheming and quite possibly traitorous suck up, Dragstrip, who leaves enemies in the duat with his nitro boosts.
• The insultive, Slashmark, who rips at the roads with his razor-sharp tires.

If two Stunticons crash into each other, they can combine into one super robot. The entire group can combine into the fearsome Menasor.

Breakdown and Wildrider have been known to also be members of the team but their relation to the other members that can combine and Dead End, who may not be a member at all, is unknown.

Notes

• Until their appearance in the third season of Robots in Disguise, the only information on the existence of the Stunticon team comes from Wildrider's toy bio, which only mentions himself and Breakdown. Even prior to that, Motormaster appeared exclusively in the DS version of War For Cybertron, while Breakdown, Drag Strip, and Dead End appear in most versions of the game and it's sequels, Fall of Cybertron and Rise of the Dark Spark. Ironically, Wildrider was the only G1 Stunticon to not appear in any of the games and the others who did appear weren't depicted as being part of a team.
• The Wildrider toy includes a unique Stunticon logo among its optional decals, partly derived from the Team Stunticon symbol developed for BotCon 2011's "The Stunti-Con Job" comic and box set.
