Not only did Magnus succeed in disabling Menasor, but in particular, he damaged Motormaster severely. Further, earlier Japanese-made Motormaster accessories are cast in dark purple plastic, while later Macau-produced samples use a lighter shade of purple. Apparently hailing from the city-state of Altihex, Motormaster took up the open invitation to Kaon's discontented populace and journeyed to the secret bloodsport arena to join Megatron in his insurrection against the Senate's control.

You, Me, and the Universe The Stunticons were defeated once again by Superion, Defensor, and Optimus Maximus, and summarily re-imprisoned. Fragmentation Afterwards, Ultra Magnus united the Autobot forces, and managed to convince the Ultracons and Shockwave's Decepticons to sign a peace accord. He can transform into a base mode, splitting the cab and trailer front in half, and unfolding the rear of the trailer to reveal a ramp and deck.They assembled as Menasor, and took part in the escalating Decepticon war effort as five separate Autobot outposts were attacked simultaneously at Sixshot's command. Motormaster and Onslaught linked up to the Dino-base in their launcher modes, sending their teammates flying at the Autobots at high speeds. He was seen in the presence of the Stunticons, suggesting they had already formed a team bond prior to the first major uprising. Motormaster’s transformation and robot mode are unique in that the cab is permanently attached to the trailer, and simply used as the robot’s feet while the trailer forms the bulk of the robot.

After the Autobots left, though, Breakdown managed to vibrate himself loose from his cage and let Motormaster and the others free as well. The artwork for Alt Mode is reused from the Transformers Legends mobile game and is based on the original G1 Motormaster design, while the Bot Mode artwork is reused from Motormaster's Combiner Wars toy's box art, and is based on said figure. Motormaster and the rest of the Stunticons were being kept a secret from the Autobots until Megatron was ready to dispatch them on a raid on the Pullen Power Plant. He then dons the Menasor head as a mask, and the roller car mounts as the chestplate, as well as a large waistplate. The tip turned out to be a trap, however, and Motormaster and the others had to bail out of Astrotrain in mid-flight to protect themselves from a mass of invaders.He includes his sword, rifle and the additional kibble required to transform him into his torso mode, including the roller car.

The Protectobots managed to hold off the Decepticons long enough for Hot Spot to repair the Aerialbots and Blades to rescue Dalton. Even though he and his fellow Stunticons merged into Menasor, the battle was still lost to the Autobots, and the Decepticons fled. Planning to rob a bank, they filled Motormaster with dynamite, only to find themselves in a firefight between the other Stunticons and the G. While Prime fought back bravely, taking out several Decepticons, Motormaster and Razorclaw eventually beat him to a pulp and allowed Serpent O. They formed into Menasor and ran amok in Iacon for a while, until Ultra Magnus arrived and began to attack Menasor by insulting the Stunticons individually.Subsequent redesigns or retakes on Motormaster's design often form his robot mode from the cab alone due to the difficulties in engineering a transformation that can accommodate both the truck and trailer without compromising the size difference, or more often results in Motormaster being released without a trailer at all. He transforms to the torso of Menasor by pressing his arms against his body, pivoting his thighs outward, and rotating his cab-feet back. To add insult to injury (well, injuries), Optimus Prime took Motormaster's place among the faux Stunticons. Motormaster was part of a Decepticon convoy led by Megatron to set up the hydrothermocline in the Florida Keys, though the trip was interrupted by the Decepticon leader's paranoid fantasy that the dead Optimus Prime would appear and attack him. I needed a new track helmet, I was looking for something with the latest ECE rating (ECE-22-06) that protects against brain rotation.
