@@whyamiherequestionmark1 yup, that's what he said, they would drive, jump, transform in mid air and attack the autobots by slamming into them. Love the idea :)
Motormaster was my favorite G1 toy for sure. I loved that he was a truck rival for Prime. And there's just something about the color schemes of the whole team. So cool! Can't wait to collect the whole X-Transbots MP team!
I'm glad now that the new generation stunticons and other combiner teams are scaled properly compared to g1 80s toys. I cannot believe how much more detailed as well as complex to make robot and vehicle mode more accurate as they appears on g1 cartoon.
Yeah: it’s a G1 Toy but it is still amazing how awful those robot modes look compared to the Constructicons G1 toys’ robot modes; which came much earlier and yet looked a lot better than these.
This along with all of your reviews are really grade A awesome, tour the first toy reviewer I’ve subscribed to mainly for your awesome content. Keep up the good work man
I remember having one of these when I was a kid in a local toy store that sells old 80's toy, and over the years i lost mine I hope I could find another one of these
My dad had breakdown and wildrider when I was a kid and I remember when he first told me you could combine five transformers to get a bigger robot it blew my mind.
Think the Constructicons were the only ones that couldn't switch position, but then I don't actually know that for sure. I do know they weren't Scramble City combiners. Was under the impression that only the Scramble City combiners in G1 could switch the limb bots positions.
I got this as a set for my birthday in 1986 - still have the full set. Did you know Motormaster's base mode not only connects to Trypticon, but also can connect to Metroplex. The Stunticons and Combaticons were designed to interact with Metroplex and the Aerialbots and Protectobots.
It blew my mind when I found out that. Still have stunticons, aerialbots, and Metroplex and never knew about that. Some really cool engineering for the day.
Menasor was nice, but I've always been a defensor boy. Mainly cause the only g1 toy I ever owned back in the 90's was First Aid. But now a whole 22 years later I have 4/5 Defensor parts, just need Blades. Managed to get a complete Hot Spot, carded but worn Groove and loose no accessories Streetwise. Been a big fan of you reviews for the past 2 to 3 years now and will be with you many years to come.Keep up the good work!
Great review on the G1 Stunticons, Emgo. I bought the KO G1 reissue Stunticons and bought the repro labels and applied them. Bought this set and reprolabels 5 years ago.
Stunticons were one of my favs but I never had them, so I also never new how they transformed. Never had a full combiner team actualy either. Just bits. Thank you for sharing this.
@@tekkenfan01 yeah, atleast once a month or maybe a old toy from a past toyline , consider his schedule is packed with other toys like marvel legend, kamen rider, third parties and all
I only ever had 2 full combiners as a kid, Menasor and Defensor. I still have both, combined, sitting on my shelf. Recently got the reissue Constructicon set - I only had 2 of the Constructicons as a kid, and I had lost a bunch of them years ago and never really knew what happened to them. Now I've been buying the MPs and I love how they look, especially Optimus (MP-10) and Megatron (MP-36.)
Handling scale, I used perception. When I had small scale I insisted my friends play on the other side of the room with the bigger bots. If reversed and I had the larger scale still worked but pretend they were far away and scale really didn't matter. Sad I lied, I had no friends
The G1 Aerialbots also had some of the best plane modes and when they would transform into their robot modes they would collide with the Decepticon Seekers!!!
These were the best we got back in the 1980s. But I couldn't help but buy the Transformers legacy stunticons figures released recently. They are in about perfect scale with the G1 Autobots cars
The Best version of these guys!! I'm hoping someday some company just updates these guys and keeps motor master the way he is. Just give him and the others more articulation. I wouldn't mind the Menasor merging pieces at all.
I've just finished watching "The Transformers" episode "The Key To Victor Sigma Part 2" when your Stunticons review popped up on RUclips minutes later last Friday. Good review by way on the Stunticons were super tough for me to get, bought the last set on Amazon.com and I'm very happy about the slow month long delivery by the US Postal Service that resulted the third party seller I've ordered the Stunticons from to give me the G1 Technobots for free to make up for it. 😎
The Stunticons were one of the Scramble City combiner sets, right? Weren't the limbs supposed to be interchangeable both with other Scramble City sets and within their specific set? Like they could each be arm or leg bots.
i just got the KO. Wildriders head broke off. :/ Wildrider is the only one I had an original of complete....so now I have a KO Menasor with a vintage Wildrider leg. The luck...
Hi Emgo I have the KO set with only 2 complaints and 1 lesser complaint but more of a question. The first complaint is Deadends screws or bolts in the rear of the car cannot stay in place and after swiveling the legs out they screws will pop out after every 6 times. So I decided to reverse the screws and out them from the underneath side and they stay in nice. Haven't popped out yet. The 2nd complaint is in menasor mode the heads of breakdown and wild rider wont peg into tight of motormaster. The last thing that is a question is why aren't there pipes on motormaster ? Looks kinda daul without them.
Please do more of those G1 Reviews, its just such a pleasure to see them. Also didnt Motor Master used to have a spring loaded "catapult" for the evil Roller in his ramp mode?
I had to look it up to answer this. The Japanese release did have a springloaded mechanism to launch the car with. Can't say it never showed up in US releases, but the two sources I looked aty both say it was there in the Japanese release. www.tfu.info/1986/Decepticon/Motormaster/motormaster.htm tfwiki.net/wiki/Motormaster_(G1)
I know the original G1 team is all cars, but IMO I like the official Combiner Wars version that replaces Wildrider with Off-road because it gives more verity with stunt vehicles. A formula-1 race car A street race car A European race car And an off road rally truck
14:09 "pew pew bang bang, slash slash slash slash" You should've said slish slish slash slash since pew pew bang bang has pew change to bang in the middle but that's just my opinion.
As a child of the 80s id question why my Motormaster a friggin semi truck is smaller than my Optimus Prime and also why Motormaster is smaller than the cars hes supposed to be transporting in his trailer...
Some people claimed you could give Menasor 'Knees" by reversing the leg bots around 180' but I'm not sure myself. The shoulders of the limb bots would likely get in the way unless you half-ass the connections!
I remember getting Motor Master for Xmas as a kid and being super disappointed by him. I wanted him so bad to have an opposite to my brother's Optimus and he was so much smaller as well as the horrible transformation. I ended up using the money I got from Xmas to get an Optimus of my own and stole my moms paints and repainted him yo look like Motor Master. Being 6 or so at the time the paint job wasn't the best but I was sure proud of it at the time.
Sad thing is I used to have G1 Optimus Prime, G1 Bumblebee, G1 Hot Rod but they got old and someone I knew threw them in the bin when I wasn’t home I stopped talking to them after that
I got Motormouth last year and found Dragstrip last week and I'm slowly piecing Menasor together. I didn't know that all the combiner leader can attach to Metroplex.
I know the G1 motor master. Was tiny compared to G1 prime. So I would have G1 onslaught play chicken with Optimus prime instead where they were more in scale with each other.
I really wish we got a motor master with siege engineering. Even if he didn’t combine, I just love his vehicle and robot mode and wish he got the siege treatment
Was there ever a story with the Stunticons during the MTMTE era of IDW as there was with the combaticons or were they just there being background characters?
I don't think the instructions outside of Japan had the base mode, as I don't remember it either. I was in the UK and Trypticon never made it over there, the only large robots available being Metroplex and Scorponok, no Fort Max or Tryp. Guess they thought us Brits couldn't afford all four. And we didn't get Omega either, now I come to remember, or the Constructicons, our selection was always less than the US.
@@dodgyb2001 A friend of mine definitely had Trypticon back in the day. I never personally saw it in any UK shops but his parents must have found it in stock somewhere.

Every time I see a modern take on MororMaster I try to remember how he looked like as a G1 toy and I've watched this video so many times now. And yes, he's as blocky as could be expected. Plus it's G1 so scale can be thrown out the window :D
car wraps around a telephone pole. "Officer, there is no problem here, my car is just in base mode."
lmao
This reminds me why i love collecting these, thats like a joke my dad wouldve told
These were some of the best G1 vehicle modes. They were perfect for hitting a jump, transforming in mid air and then slamming into Autobots.
I think the Stunticons are Decepticons
@@whyamiherequestionmark1 yup, that's what he said, they would drive, jump, transform in mid air and attack the autobots by slamming into them. Love the idea :)
@@AeponViroth Oh for some reason I was thinking slamming was Transforming...I dont know why

I know exactly what you mean by getting the X-Transbots' version of the G1 Stunticons. They are also reasonably priced.
I'm glad now that the new generation stunticons and other combiner teams are scaled properly compared to g1 80s toys. I cannot believe how much more detailed as well as complex to make robot and vehicle mode more accurate as they appears on g1 cartoon.
WildRider is just a straight gangsta, holding his gun all sideways and everything
“Ramp mode”
Wow the 80’s where pretty crazy 😂😂😂😂😂
Every combiner leader that time all have this "3rd" mode silverbolt, onslaught, motormaster, hot spot, scattershot, not sure about hun-gur though
Bring back precious memories 😯
Hope you make another G1 throwback toys review like this someday Emgo 👌🏼
I thought cartoon Motormaster's box head was weird..... I stand corrected
*Because It's precious!* 😂😆
So precious
I bought a laser red 2001 Mustang 4 years ago and named it Dead End
What are you, a decepticon?
I might buy a white and blue Lamborghini Countach and name it Breakdown.
Did it kill itself yet
I bought a handgun once and named it "triggerweiner."
@@AnchorOfTime I'm a Decepticon.
Drag Strip and Scamper were the first Transformers I ever had. Seeing Drag Strip before his stickers wore out brings back memories.
I love how screwed up the scale was back in G1. Also the ultra simple transformations, especially the scramble city combiners like these guys.
I watch these videos primarily for 2 things, The skit at the end, and the THROWING OF THE BOXES!
The Japanese version of Motor Master has a spring launching mechanism for "ramp mode."
Motormaster, The true king of the road!!!
Yeah: it’s a G1 Toy but it is still amazing how awful those robot modes look compared to the Constructicons G1 toys’ robot modes; which came much earlier and yet looked a lot better than these.

You the man for this emgo memories
G1 scaling logic out the window, everyone was fine with it.
Scaling nowadays, everyone loses their minds
People forgetting that g1 motormaster is a trailer with truck feet: 🙂 this is fine
@@fivenightsatmimikus7508 well I guess there is so,etching good about CW motormaster
@Kristopher Prime To be fair, trailers are mostly empty space.
If these G1 Moulds and designs were released today....They'd be filling up shelves in Poundland!
I remember having one of these when I was a kid in a local toy store that sells old 80's toy, and over the years i lost mine
I hope I could find another one of these
My dad had breakdown and wildrider when I was a kid and I remember when he first told me you could combine five transformers to get a bigger robot it blew my mind.
For a second I read "My dad *had a* breakdown" and was feeling so sorry, then I realized your dad had a transformers' toy, and I felt better
I always thought it was interesting how the G1 combiner limbs were either just the shin or the whole arm and could switch if they wanted to.
And glad to see them keep that scramble feature on the cw and potp combiner
Think the Constructicons were the only ones that couldn't switch position, but then I don't actually know that for sure. I do know they weren't Scramble City combiners. Was under the impression that only the Scramble City combiners in G1 could switch the limb bots positions.
Same with Predaking too
Aerialbots, Stunticons, Protectobots, Combaticons, Terrorcons, Technobots, Seacons.... all of those guys were Scramble City style combiners.
I got this as a set for my birthday in 1986 - still have the full set.

Hi. Your so right! It has a soft spot in our hearts! And they were it in the 80’s!!
Nice vid man! Always like to see a bit of g1 love! Also saw drag strip at my flea market should I buy it?
Carl the hot sauce cat anims yes
@@WyattTFdude I just bought it!
I recently got a g1 prime reissue and I was surprised with how articulated he was. I like these toys a lot.
Stunticons were one of my favs but I never had them, so I also never new how they transformed. Never had a full combiner team actualy either. Just bits. Thank you for sharing this.
had a tiny bruticus for me thats it i could only transform the middle body part
into robot mode i mean
You should do a g1 review once a week/month
I don't think he has the time, at least not once a week
@@tekkenfan01 yeah, atleast once a month or maybe a old toy from a past toyline , consider his schedule is packed with other toys like marvel legend, kamen rider, third parties and all
The intact cab and trailer in ramp mode is what usually becomes the robot in most Motormaster incarnations after G1.
I was DYING when EmGo called Megatron Triggercrotch. X'DDDD

I never got Transformers as a kid too much, but He-Man, that I had almost all of, and wish I still had those toys.
Pew-pew bang-bang?! Yeah I grew up with those Sounds too! I was born in the 80's

The Stunticons and the Protectobots were my favorite, followed by the terrorcons.
The G2 Stunticon & Protectobot sets should've been mass produced and released...
I didn't realise this was a set. I had 3/5 of this collection when I was younger and still have the white/creamy coloured one to this day
You mean breakdown

1 View but 15 likes.. Em Go: so good that he gets more views than is mathematically possible
Wow.
Wait, are the G1 Stunticons "Scramble City" Capable? It seems like the other two leg bots have the same capability to be arms as the other two. Cool.
yes
Do Dead End and Breakdown have the same mould? Can you "scramble city" with these guys?
they're similar molds. yes, they can scramble city.

Maybe just same engineering, like how potp punch,TR chromedome and cw deadend all have similar transformation
You should write stunt box on the stunt box and draw a sad Pacman in it.
Devastator is my personal favourite Combiner. Menasor and Volcanicus are close seconds.
