Motormaster is the leader of the Stunticons, an all-car group created by Megatron to counter the dominance of the Autobots on the road. He formed the main body of the group's combined form Menasor. He was a cold and cruel warrior, who longs to take the title of "King of the Road" from Optimus Prime. His vehicle mode was a semi-trailer with a top speed of 140mph. In robot mode he was armed with a cyclone gun capable of producing winds up to 400mph.
[edit] Animated Series
Motormaster first appeared with the other Stunticons in the episode The Key To Vector Sigma Part 1. He was created after Megatron ordered the theft of five vehicles, from which he would create a group of Decepticon warriors to more effectively fight the Autobots on the roads. After being extensively modified by Megatron to become almost impervious to collision damage, Motormaster and the other Stunticons were taken to Vector Sigma to receive personalities of their own.
