Who wants to be 2nd in command to that jerkass Motormaster.

I'd say Drag Strip is the most adjusted so I'd go with him/her.

 

I just read all of their write-ups on Tfwiki...

Dragstrip is obsessed with victory to a fault, so much so that everyone hates him, including Megatron.
Breakdown is paranoid about everything and thinks that everyone is out to get him.
Wildrider is crazy and a danger to everyone around him.
Deadend is a nihilist.

I'd go with either Deadend or Dragstrip out of the 4. I guess the edge would go to Deadend since everyone hates Dragstrip.

 

Oh goody, so if the gigantic bully goes down they have a nihilist to lead them...

I gotta wonder what the membership drive for that team was like.

 

Heh, I voted for Drag Strip, but totally this!

 

Poor Wildrider, precisely no-one supports him for the job ^^

 

I always figured that Breakdown had the higher rank, and could be autonomous in his scouting needs, but that Wildrider is the true right-hand man. Not to indicate that WR and M2 are somehow "pals", just work really well at what the Stunticons do.

 

I imagine Motormaster's the kind of leader to say he's first, second, third, etc in charge.

 

Drag Strip

 

Breakdown, I guess. But I seriously don't see Motormaster going MIA before the other four do.

 

Personally I don't think that the Stunticons are so organized to have a Second in command.

I mean they're really just a bunch of thugs.

Though I think that Wildrider and Dead End deserved a permotion in rank after they stole the Matrix in G1.

 

There isn't one. The Stunticons are not that kind of team and Motormaster is not that kind of leader.

I could see Blackjack being making himself second-in-command going by his G1 Marvel appearances.

 

Yeah, they're more a gang of thugs then a team.

 

sign me up for the idea that they are a gang and MM just rules due to his clearly more imposing power.

Combaticons that's an interesting one. I'd say Vortex but maybe Blastoff.

 

I approve of this.

 

Blackjack

 

I would say Black Jack but the head mold they gave him really bugs me. I hate face plates and visors. Pity cos i love his G1 toy and comic portrayal.

If they went with the original idea of making Off Road Ruckus I'd have nominated Ruckus. He was a good second to Thunderwing in the UK comic.
Really hope we get a Ruckus repaint.

Not sure to be honest.

I could see Blot being Hun-gurrr's 2nd. I like in the Dreamwave bio how Hun-gurrr treats him with respect thus actually earning his loyalty.

Hook could be Scrappers second in command.

Streetwise is definitely Hot Spot's.

 

1) Team leader is in charge.
2) Team leader is absent, injured, dead etc etc there needs to be someone to take charge.

In Stuntacons case I say Breakdown for reasons already stated in this thread

This will only applie though if neither the higher ranking bots/cons are around ( Starscream, soundwave, Jazz, Ultra Magnus etc etc).

This goes for other teams aswell, see the dinobots i.e. Grimlock leads but when he is not there Slag leads (based on G1 cartoon were Slag takes over when Grimlock gets hit by Trypticon). And also that Slag seems like the least dumb one.

For the combatacons I say Blast off would take the lead if Onslaught was not around. Swindel dont want it unless it is a profit in it, Brawl is just a brawler and Vortex to stupied.

 

I don't see how Breakdown can be second in Command when he is always paranoid.
