I have the Unite Warriors version of Motormaster, honestly not that bad of a mold. I’m honestly torn between which deco looks the best, between this mostly light gray/black vs the black/really dark brownish color. Neat toy though
Another thing about the fixed version: they loosened the shoulders because on the original and the op they were so tight it felt like you would break it while trying to move the arms. I remember when I got the optimus and the fixed motor master way back when realizing how overly tight the ratchets were on optimus
I actually own this guy, albeit with some wear & tear from years of play. I'm missing the two of the four back wheels and the platform that has his head on it is a bit tight from what I think is a rusted pin.
We have both Motormaster and White Optimus, they're honestly solid. The ability to invert the elbows or have the combined head out in small mode are both really nice for doing wacky combination stuff!
Got mine at a flea market for 3 bucks, missing tires, some panels, and a bunch of the combined mode stuff. His hips also exploded yesterday, no joke. He’s also covered in odd paint in some areas. Still really like him though.
Truck design reminds me a lot of TLK Galvatron. While I couldn't be too fussed by getting many of the CW toys, the Optimus Prime mold definitely stands out as one of the better ones. Those ratchets are satisfyingly clicky.
SND's Primo Ex-Mortis add-on makes for a _wicked_ looking conversion into Nova Prime. Unfortunately, I've heard that the add-on makes the resulting figure super fiddly/more than normal.
Honestly, I feel like CW Menasor works as a sort of "barrel-chested, misshapen ogre" kind of menace. He's a mid-game spectacle boss you fight to establish how far you've come and how far you've yet to go.
Honestly I actually kinda like this one more than Legacy, yeah that thing has the standardized articulation, "G1 Accuracy" and a combined mode that doesn't look *totally* horrendous, but I'd still rather have this unique and odd goober than an official attempt at those third-party figures that are massive cheats.
You’re right as the cw stunticons are real scrambled city combiners figures that don’t cheat in the transformation. Unlike the legacy team that does with the unfortunate result of the new airialbots doing the same BS.
I got the G2 version and, while the Menasor mode is....questionable....the individual Motormaster figure has some amazingly eye popping colors. Very underrated.
Man, the CW Stunticons make me sad. I love the stylization of each member, but Motormaster’s torso just ruins everything. You didn’t even mention the problem of Blackjack sticking to the chest (in that it doesn’t). Man…pain
I just use my CW Cosmos as a chest piece, it looks neater. I have the Optimus Prime of this, and it looks way neater than using Hot Rod. I have the Stunticons as his limbs, though, as I never purchased the autobots that go with him, so I just imagine it as them teaming up to combat Devastator after he killed Motormaster.
The Optimus version had a neat upgrade kit that turned him into an awesome IDW rendition. Too bad no one ever figured how to create a trailer add on that would make their gestalt so much better.
As a kid I always used the fan mode for the combined form that Fanprojects uses on their promotional images and that solves most issues with the proportions of the combine mode for me.
I loved this thing back when i had it, so chunky and i love the redesign! I just wished he had some sort of purple on the feet as a hint to the truck feet design, over time mine decided he didn't wanna stay together very well so i think thats why i got rid of him, but I've had my eye on the G2 set for a while, its so pretty!
This figure combine mode falls flat as the hips don’t work, with onslaught the legs hinges up and silverbolt the arms are the combiner hips/legs but motormaster doesn’t do anything to shrink the legs down. Maybe if they slid up or hinged like onslaught to shorten the legs it could’ve been better
Be careful, my Unite Warriors version of Motormaster waist shattered, and I had to use superglue to put it back together. Try to find the Battlecore Optimus Prime (white repaint), looks and feels so much better than Motormaster.
I got the Optimus Prime version of the mold and I love him. Unfortunately I don't have any one else for the full combiner of Optimus Maximus. I did have Ironhide but I lost him years ago.❤
I really liked this motormaster figure, too bad the combined mode didn't stay well put together. At least I still have him and he's on my display shelf
And if you try to pose the legs around, it becomes infinitely worse. I sold mine last week. Sucks because the rest of the Stunticons were very solid Tetra Changers and I will kinda miss them.
I love that Motormaster is always an Optimus Mould. No custom truck mode for you Mm! I wonder, is it still technically a rework if that’s how he always is?
I muc prefer this Motormaster over the Legacy one. The bulky appearance suits a character like him. And that Menasor's horn are the best ones I have seen. The viking/devil horns look much, much more awesome than the rabbit ears Menasor usually have.
I remember this mould, I got the upgrade kit and he still kept falling over, I got the first wave of releases, not the fixed version, I did enjoy the individual figure though, nice chunky bot and nice chunky truck,
Combiner Wars Motormaster is really cool for Motormaster! Hell, I love the Optimus Prime variant, too. It's just a really cool, nice beefy truck dude, and the mold works quite well in general. But it's also the worst combiner torso of that line. Every other torso mold just worked way better in torso mold (the Silverbolt and his mold is my personal favorite) or was just way more interesting. Motormaster and Optimus were just kinda jank in general as the torso, and I only ever had the versions with the wonky ratchets. Still, on their own? Really enjoy them. If I want a cool unique Motormaster on his own? I've got this guy. If I want Menasor, I'll just stick with the Legacy version.
I have the g2 cw menasor set, and now looking at the g1 legacy one, sure it's far better, and I might get em, but I will always treasure the cw toys for their fun scrambling and cool designs. Oh and cuz I worked real hard for em.
I used to own a combinor wars motormaster when I was younger, I really wish I had the other Stunticons, sad I really liked the figure but I had lost it somewhere.
My only gripes (Though this only really applies to my copy with Optimus mold) Is the arm panels seemed to have loosened Though this likely due to me constantly transforming it
I like this mold, I know it has its faults, but wich toy doesn’t? Weirdly enough I didn’t got the red and blue Prime since I thought it was like a remake of classics prime but with combiner parts. Then I got the Core Optimus, the one that it was white and people used as Nova until a real Nova released. As for Motormaster, I don’t have the normal one either, I have the G2 version. We need the G2 colors more often :(
The limb bots are fine, but Motormaster..... He sucks. I mean, the truck and robot modes are fine, nothing inherently wrong with them other than maybe being a bit lackluster, but the combined mode is atrocious, and the combined mode is actually the selling point. Sure, you want to have both the combined, individual robot, and alt modes be good, but again, the combined mode is the selling point. I will say this though, this version of Motormaster does have a clean backpack. Albeit a little too clean, given that's an indication that its combined mode sucks. I may hate how the Legacy version's combined mode is done, but the result is not that bad, and I still think it looks better than the upcoming Superion (that version just looks very clunky with the jets on the calves, but then again, blame animation accuracy).
Fun fact: This design of Motormaster is used in the Transformers: Forged to Fight mobile game.
RIP forged to fight. Born a decent game, forced to be a single player grindfest.
Also in Devastation if I right remember (I've played it like 2 months ago and I don't remember lol)
@@illyanesterenko8930I think it was the truck mode and the transformation, not the robot, for menasor they did use blackjack for the chest though.
@@rajeev-t6ldevastation robot mode is CW motormaster just a little bit more refined to fit in with the game's designs
I remember playing that game when i was a kid
My boy is here
ngl
low key impressive how this one Voyager instilled a pure, primal fear of one of the franchise's oldest gimmicks into the fandom
See, I still want the Optimus version, especifically for an Energon repaint like that would look TIGHT
This guy design as actually been used in the transformers devastation videogame as a boss
yup, he said that in the video lol
@random.mp4164 he did not Say as a boss
@@Alexprime-ve1od Because him being a boss doesn't really matter since he's still a design that was used in the game lol

0:43 When Hasbro tried its hand at Bionicle, I guess
That would be construct bots

I own this guy too I have all the sunticons except for blackjack
Im missing the inner leg panel lol

Tbh the battle core deco for Optimus is soo damn good! Underrated figure! Even has a fantastic headsculpt!

See id agree but like I'd rather pay for a good figure than a good idea
Imagine if CW was how we got RID Menasor in a posable variety
I got the G2 version and, while the Menasor mode is....questionable....the individual Motormaster figure has some amazingly eye popping colors. Very underrated.
The white version should have been Thunderclash.
It can with Toyhax

yeah the design just works better for Motormaster imo
the toy itself needs work, but the design ROCKS for Motormaster

This mold makes a very good Thunderclash custom.
He looks so much worse in combined mode when the chest panels are open, with the car slapped on top. I never display it that way.
Be careful, my Unite Warriors version of Motormaster waist shattered, and I had to use superglue to put it back together. Try to find the Battlecore Optimus Prime (white repaint), looks and feels so much better than Motormaster.
I got the Optimus Prime version of the mold and I love him.
Unfortunately I don't have any one else for the full combiner of Optimus Maximus.
I did have Ironhide but I lost him years ago.❤
The torso mode may be bad, but the worst torso award still goes to Grimlock.
I had the whole set of Optimus Maximus growing up. Now it's lost to time, I still have Prime though but he's missing some parts
I really liked this motormaster figure, too bad the combined mode didn't stay well put together. At least I still have him and he's on my display shelf
I can't wait to experience combiners in 2025 with superion and devastator (I really only started collecting transformers this year)
And if you try to pose the legs around, it becomes infinitely worse. I sold mine last week.
Sucks because the rest of the Stunticons were very solid Tetra Changers and I will kinda miss them.
I remember there was a third party figure that vangelus covered that completely replaced this guy instead of attempting to fix it
I own the white version of this mold
SAME DUDE
This an RID was my introduction to Motormaster and by extension the stunticons as a whole
I like the combiner wars stunticons in for there robot but in terms of the combination its funny.
I love that Motormaster is always an Optimus Mould. No custom truck mode for you Mm!
I wonder, is it still technically a rework if that’s how he always is?

When your review gets ratio’d 😭

I definitely want that motormaster figure so freaking bad
I still have CW Menasor with PE upgrades. Jank and all, I love it. I now call it the Animated Menasor while Legacy Menasor is the G1 version.
I used to own a combinor wars motormaster when I was younger, I really wish I had the other Stunticons, sad I really liked the figure but I had lost it somewhere.
I have that figure of Motormaster. Sadly, I don't have the other members of the Stunticons to create Menasor.
Motormaster’s a literal blockhead
This Motormaster was a very good solid figure 👍👍👍👍👍even though he is a remold of Optimus Prime Combiner Wars!
I know this is supposed to be for adult collectors, but you really need a quote on just a random F bombs
My only gripes
(Though this only really applies to my copy with Optimus mold)
Is the arm panels seemed to have loosened
Though this likely due to me constantly transforming it
Animated is still my favourite motormaster.
Decepticon Randy Savage 4 life!
If Johnny Bravo killed Johnny Test, would a time paradox occur?
Because they’re both Johnny
Pretty sure UW Motormaster is the most recent victim of GPS
Optimus if he jacked up
And no one ever talks about the red and blue optimus
OH GOD this motormaster! 🤢🤢🤢

Bro has small head big body, thats why hes pissed
Mainly just want to own one so I can turn it into a combiner nemesis
5:51 What is that Optimus Prime in the middle
I had the Optimus prime when it came out and now I only have one of his arms 💀🙏🏻😭
Idk what to say about this mold but I'll just say groceries
I like this motormaster, I mean I still have it so it’s grown on memm bc over the years
I like that mold.
Can you review the potp dinobots
