Transformers Toys Generations Legacy Series Commander Decepticon Motormaster Combiner Action Figure - 8 and Up, Multicolor, One Size, 13-inch,

Product Information

Though the Generation 1 toy is clearly a single-trailer rig, the seams of Motormaster's transformation were often misinterpreted by artists as being a division between two trailers. Thus, Motormaster is sometimes portrayed as a double-trailer rig, even though the "front trailer" doesn't have any rear wheels.

A redeco of Classic Deluxe Rodimus as Wildrider was released in Japan as part of Gentei! Gentei!, the exclusive range of TakaraTomy's Henkei! Henkei! line, available at the "Chara Hobby 2008" show.

Motormaster's design in Earth Wars is modeled on the " third party" Powertrain figure by TransFormMissions, which is itself an interpretation of his design in IDW's 2009-2011 ongoing series. Menasor was charging into battle against the Autobots when the dimensional intruder Grand Scourge suddenly dropped in through a tear in space-time. Menasor cared little about the new arrival's identity, moving in to crush him immediately. But with a single swift blow of Grand Scourge's Matrix Breaker sword, Menasor was split into his individual components. The Stunticons were then forced to combine with Grand Scourge, save Motormaster, who fled in terror. Decepticon Dark Commander Grand Scourge Generations Selects Special Comic Menasor was meant to be the ultimate Decepticon weapon, and perhaps he would have been if not for the fatal flaw in his design. His mind was designed to merge the psyches of the five Stunticons who compose his form. Unfortunately the great depth of resentment the four limb components feel towards Motormaster, plus the extreme differences in attitude that makes them less a team and more a destruction derby, and of course the tiny detail that they're all psychotic, has created a primal psychological rift and left Menasor an unpredictable mass of conflicting, chaotic impulses. The change from "Diaclone" to "Ancient Time Universe" is because TakaraTomy has a concurrently-running Diaclone revival line entirely separate from Transformers (focusing on the original pre- Car Robot aesthetic).

BigBadToyStore listing: "Transformers Generations Legacy Evolution Voyager Wave 1 Set of 2 Figures" (outdated, "Evolution" has since been removed) In robot mode, this 24-foot-tall Stunticon leader has an atom-smashing cyclone gun that produces 400 mph winds and a powerful proton beam that can destroy all but the strongest of materials. Motormaster can combine with his fellow Stunticons to form the giant robot Menasor. The Motor Master" is spelled with a space in all his fictional appearances, but without the space on the box set art itself and on the Motor Master's Tech Spec card. Even prior to that, Motormaster appeared exclusively in the DS version of War For Cybertron while Dragstrip appeared in most versions of the game and its sequels Fall of Cybertron and Rise of the Dark Spark alongside Breakdown.In IDW Publishing's adaptation of Generation 1, as with Dreamwave's, Motormaster first appeared as a pre-existing character rather than a recent creation. Motormaster first appeared amongst Megatron's gathering of gladiators that would eventually become the Decepticons in IDW Publishing's The Transformers: Megatron Origin. Motormaster is later blown apart by Sentinel Prime during the revolution in Kaon. We have been down this road before, ad nauseam. It’s usually not so much shelf warming as it is oversupplying. Many of these figures sell reasonably well, but once demand is met, Hasbro fails to get off the gas.
