Motor Mania: A triple Transformers review

Motormaster is one of my favorite Transformers characters, and, full stop, it’s kinda because of the alt mode. So let’s take a look at three of him and see what they do differently!

Going by size, let’s start with the smallest of these three, Magic Square Overlord! Or technically the Tigerwing knockoff. He follows the standard for modern Motormasters, having just the cab be the main bot while the trailer turns into the combiner frame. This leaves him as the sleekest of this lot, not needing to worry about the trailer, or even an ounce of combiner kibble. He just turns into the cab, stowing away in the combined mode as a static cube that doesn’t even provide structural support. It does mean he’s very light and sleek, however, outside of the fact that he’s Legends scale. He’s quite nimble and easy to balance for more extreme poses. There are a few quirks and minor gripes, like the legs not having any rotation past the swivel just below his hips, or his head only being a swivel, but it’s not a huge deal and he’s still very expressive. I love the brighter almost-pink he uses for his windows and other such accents. It looks good on its own and contrasts great with the deep black he’s cast in.

Transformation is clever and concise, with everything folding away neatly and tabbing together securely. In cab mode, at least. The cube just uses friction… The fake cab feet are handled quite elegantly, with his legs splitting open for them to fold down over the bumper while the fake windows spin around. The rear tires do a fun twist out of his torso and almost swap places with his arms. My only complaint about the whole process is rotating the front wheels around, being one of those steps I forget half the time because it technically doesn’t affect anything and is mildly cumbersome to correct. The final result looks great! Especially once you bring the ever-important trailer in. It’s just not Motormaster without it. Even at a scale this small he still ends up imposing.

Next up is Legacy Motormaster, who adopts the 3P party innovation into Hasbro’s official play book and does a much better job. He ends up as the most stylized of the lot, coming off as a bit slimmer and more angular. His torso gets considerably slimmer the further down you go, not straightening back out once you get to his waist like other attempts might, and that’s among the various other caveats Generations brings. Not that he looks bad, not by any means. He still very much evokes the feeling of the character, just in a manner different to what’s been done before. He does feel a tad cumbersome though, having some trouble standing in even fairly tame poses thanks to his back kibble and sub-par heels. His legs don’t have the range of movement I wish they did, either, feeling stiff and a little clunky. The colors are great, this time going for a bright white and pale purple to match the glossy black, though do note that I have applied Toyhax’s cel-shaded window set, because it’s lush and he deserves to look this good.

The transformation is a fun affair, essentially flipping the legs down over his back while his arms merge with the trailer hitch stashed on his back. Using the larger pin holes on the back of his hips as points for the top of the cab to peg into is clever, though one of them will not fit securely on mine, leaving it to always sit jutting up a touch. The trailer is��� just ok this time. The front has the combiner chest plate and thigh holes sticking out completely unobscured and it muddies the whole look. It is kinda stumpy too… We don’t judge anyone’s size here, but Overload is nearly the exact same length. Like, there’s a few centimeters of difference (if even) between the front of their cabs and the backs of their trailers, despite Legacy’s cab being nearly the same size as Roadking’s. Speaking of…

Fanstoys Roadking is a massive CHUNK of a robot, and I love him. Fanstoys are like, sadists, or something? So they strive for obscene levels of animation accuracy, no matter what. Which means Roadking turns into the entire truck, not just the cab. Consequently, he’s “fucking huge” sized. This is a massive toy made of dense plastic and even some diecast. Transforming him is a workout. He’s damn pretty though! I am no FT shill but from what I have seen their products consistently have a very premium finish and feel, and Roadking is no exception. Every last detail is done to a fine point, and everything is nice and sturdy. The only real gripe to be had is the backpack, which contains about a quarter of his altmode. It holds together fine, but it does stick out a fair bit and is hard not to mention in some capacity, no matter how understandable it may be.

He can get plenty of good poses, but again there are a few discrepancies. His ankles don’t bend that deep, and if you try and go too far you can pop out the entire rest of the truck cab. His bulk holds him back a little bit, too. Not much, but you should take some care to keep him from crumpling under his own weight. The individual fingers are a great touch, all that said. He gets swivels below his knees, and you can pop the shoulders out to get a sort-of butterfly joint. His head can even look up and down! The clear plastic inserts are a nice deviation from the solid blocks of purple from previous endeavors, and they really shine in vehicle mode.

The transformation is a lengthy endeavor but it’s not too bad I say having run through it like a dozen times. They fully accomplished IRL mass shifting but it’s not as nightmarish as that may sound. There’s a flow to it, the figure isn’t fighting you. His feet effectively grow into the full cab, with most of it being stored in his legs save for the bottom half of the grill, which form from his soles and heels. His legs then become the front of the trailer, with the inner calves folding out to roughly double the height. Trying to get the lower and upper half of this section of the trailer pegged together correctly can be a bit of a pain, with them needing to bridge together over a diecast piece that hinges out, but that’s probably my biggest gripe with the process save for how much force some tabs require, and even then, it’s mildly annoying at best. His arms fold up, forming part of the trailer roof, while his legs fold into place via a sort of second knee. His backpack then unfolds into an amount of panels that cover what’s left of his legs and torso. How reasonable that amount is, is for you to decide. Once it’s tabbed together you can close the trailer door and peg the last of the roof in.

The end result is an utterly gorgeous eighteen-wheeler that perfectly encapsulates what Motormaster’s alt mode *means*. This is a big, mean truck that will run you off the road because you looked like you were going to start driving stupid. It’s pretty, too. The chromed grill gets to fully shine, you can see even more of the diecast, with it comprising most of the trailer hitch, and the tires are made of rubber to let him roll flawlessly. He even gets a bit of trailer space! Not… much, but it’s there and that alone opens up plenty of possibilities. Some of the tabs and pegs maybe require a little more force than I’m comfortable with, but otherwise I find the affair rather fun, actually. Again, it’s just long.

Note: I totally, utterly, foolishly forgot to fold away the fake headlights he uses for his feet and to fold out two panels that finish the trailer, and I only realized after I had taken all of the photos. I was NOT doing everything again.

So, that’s three different Motormasters, released by three different companies, in three different scales. The Stunticons are a group with… a LOT of options, actually. They’ve had their fair share of appearances but still, it’s. WOW. It means you have a lot of options though, and those are never a bad thing! There’s a lot of different approaches to the same core concept, so there will probably be something that meets your criteria, whatever that might be! The Stunticons as a whole fall firmly into the “bright side” of collecting. This is a group of characters with a lot of options at a lot of different scales and price points. There are the original G1 toys, the Combiner Wars figures, the Legacy figures, Fanstoys, DX9, X-Transbots, Magic Square, Rising Force, and maybe more that I’ve missed! That’s not even counting one off, non-combining repaints and other incarnations outside of G1. If you want any of these characters to look a very specific way there’s probably a version that matches your vision. The Constructicons similarly fit under this umbrella, and groups like the Aerialbots are getting there.

Roadking is probably the best standalone Motormaster, given the integrated trailer, but he can be a bit stiff when it comes to posing and I fear what the combiner skeleton is going to look like to cram him in there (FansToys’ Superion can barely stand how’s THAT thing gonna fare?). Legacy features the most integrated combiner combination while still being solid as the solo bot, and Overlord is easily the most articulate, while also giving you plenty of options when it comes to the combined mode. The fact that he just turns into a cube for Menasor is. Probably not unrelated to either of those. No matter what you’re looking for though, when it comes to the king of the road, you’ll be sure to find something that’s in your lane.
