Motorhead is an Autobot from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Not pictured: Giant metal warts. (they're on the other side of his face, you see.)

Motorhead is one of several Autobots in Optimus Prime's lineup of young, inexperienced new Autobots. Like any good Autobot he sports a massive Lemmy moustache.

Fiction

IDW comics continuity

During the early years of the war, Optimus Prime decided that he needed to have a parade line-up and inspect the brand new Autobot troops! Ironhide thought this was a stupid idea and told Prime so. Motorhead just happened to be one of the members of this brand new lineup of dudes. He was standing next to Crosshairs. All Hail Megatron issue 13

Notes

• With those "shades" and that "mustache", Motorhead looks a heck of a lot like Lemmy Kilmister, frontman of the band Motörhead. Heck, the name explains it all, doesn't it?
