Motormaster (G1)
From MediaWiki
| This article is about the leader of the Stunticons. For the Stunticon super warrior, see Menasor (G1). |
- Motormaster is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 continuity family.
When Motormaster booms out orders in his hollow, bottomless-deep voice of doom, his Stunticon soldiers listen in very real fear. A cold and brutal tyrant, without an ounce of mercy or care for any lesser being, he considers himself the true "King of the Road." He longs to one day prove his claim by destroying Optimus Prime in a head-on collision. His fellow Stunticons hate him, but are too terrified of him to dare disobey his orders.
Fiction
Animated continuity
Motormaster finally got the chance to prove he was the true "King of the Road" by ramming head-on into Optimus Prime. The crash flattened his tires, crumpled his trailer, broke his windows and shattered his ego. Optimus only suffered a headache.

- Japanese ID number: D-50
Unreleased toys
- The Stunticons and Protectobots were planned to be released as part of the Generation 2 line, but were ultimately canceled (though Breakdown saw "release" as the BotCon 1994 exclusive). The smaller limb-robots all have had packaged samples appear, but no packaged samples of Motormaster or Hot Spot are known to exist, and the two leaders are the hardest of their sets to come across nowadays.
- A redeco of Thunder Clash as Motormaster (called "Menasor" because of trademark issues) was planned as a store exclusive for Universe, but was ultimately canceled. No physical samples of this toy have been found so far, just package art.
Trivia
- In the 2006/2007 Classics line, a redeco of Legends of Cybertron Optimus Prime was intended to be Motormaster, but again, the name could not be obtained. The toy was given the name "Menasor", and the super robot's function of "Super Warrior", effectively making him Menasor, not Motormaster.
