Rounding off the Combiner Wars Stunticons, here is their leader, the malevolent Motormaster! Motormaster is an extensive remolding of Combiner Wars Voyager Optimus Prime, to the point that most of his upper body / front of truck has been redone.
Like Optimus Prime, Motormaster is a stocky figure, with solid articulation. The brawny build works for the character, in our opinion, and the remolding keeps him from being “just” a grey Optimus Prime. He’s got new weapons – a blade and a blaster – which merge into a larger sword. What we particularly like is the reworking of the Menasor form chest cavity, which features something which just might be inspired by Age of Extinction Galvatron molded in the space occupied by Blackjack when Menasor is fully combined.
Overall, Motormaster is another solid offering in the Combiner Wars lineup. He’s brawny and powerful, and has the right kind of commanding aura when displayed with the other Stunticons. Check him out and see what you think:

Yeah, I really noticed that yesterday when I was doing a few poses with Menasor. Legs are strong enough for the robot mode, but struggle with the increased weight of Menasor.

Could've used a bit more black on the cab but on the whole a great figure.
If Takara did singles instead of gift sets I would have their black MM for some parts swapping.
Much like the Superion set Hasbro have done a good enough job and in some cases have better paint apps going on, its only the Voyager's in each team that really cause a best paint debate.
On the whole I'm quite impressed with the combiner wars series.

I got Motormaster and he is great my only complaint is his leg Joints are not strong enough.
Raiyuki
The Motormaster bot mode really looks good.

This is such a rock solid mold, I'm honestly liking him more than Silverbolt (and I didn't think that was going to happen).

I have had this for a few days now with the rest of the Stunticons unopened. Just waiting for when I have enough time to open them all at the same.
Shepard Prime
I picked mine up right before I went out of town this weekend. SO so glad that I did. Great fig that absolutely nails the look n feel.
Lumpy
Sol takes the prettiest photos. I can't wait to find Motormaster so I can finish Menasor.
Hoptimus
Love this figure, more than the OP version. And I love how he scales so well with AoE Voy Galvatron, like best buds!
Phenotype
Yeah, I completely agree. I actually came here tom post the same thing. The proportions feel off for Optimus Prime but it totally works for Motormaster.
Kaijumaster
To be fair I think it's pretty obvious that Motormaster came first and Optimus is the remold.
Dark Jedi
I see now that Hasbro was going for a toy accurate look while TakTom is doing the toon deco. Well played.

I found & bought old Block-head a couple weeks ago and he's a really good figure. Only his Menasor horns look too Unicron-y to me, but otherwise I'm very pleased to own him.
I only wish that his trailer could have been incorporated somehow. Hasbro has a tendency to treat trailers like a special, unnecessary, option, rather than an integral component. Characters like Optimus, Ultra Magnus, and Onslaught need their trailers to give them weapons or integrated bulk.
Maybe a 3P will not only make upgrades to the Menasor head, hands, feet, and chest/waist, but maybe actually somehow pull all those components into an actual trailer (or double trailer like the cartoon) for MotorMaster to pull.
Anyways, MM is cool & I like him, even as a stand-alone figure.
Obsidian X
Motormaster looks cool! Menasor looks surprised :O
Kyle Blues
Really liking this mold as motormaster.
Even if the menasor head is derp.
Even if he doesn't have cabs for feet (kinda wish he did, I find it iconic).
I just wish I had the money to flush into all these guys.
Ezilla82
He looks brutal and for some reason I don't hear the G1 voice in my mind, but the late Macho Man Randy Savage's.

Blockheaded, Burly and Full of Hate.
Yup this looks like the Motormaster we've needed for a while now.
