Why do you want it to be the headmaster accessory? I'd rather have another figure with a remolded head than just a head that would cover up another remolded head.

I'm hoping they mean they gave the troop builder a new head. It wouldn't be shocking but it'd be appreciated.

 

makes me continue to think we are getting autotroopers

 

Motormaster's face looks AMAZING.

 

I agree.

 

It looks macho!

 

I don't see it as a problem, whose to say a crazy fanbot doesn't go to the effort to look like his idol? Pyro does in LSOTW. OK if it is a decepticon infiltration team thats not entirely sensible, unless it has become common response to Magnus' death.

Does the head share and moulding with Bulkhead? If it doesn't there's no reason it couldn't be included with any leader figure.

 

I find this strangely hilarious, simply because there's a little sketch of Optimus' face, right on top of the spot where that face comes out.  

 

Activators Bumblebee, maybe?

 

+1

 

Botcon 2011 - Motormaster's Crew has six members?

The new darken shape for botcon 2011 seems to be animated lockdown. You can see it in the bent hands that lockdown has and the feet are the same shape.

 

I am very confident that Motormaster won't be a Leader Bulkhead redeco, mostly because he's too rounded and, well, bulky to match MM. Even with a head remold. And I doubt they would do anything with Headmaster even if they did use the Leader BH mold because that would require additional remolding which seems to be cost-prohibitive based on their Twitter comments regarding Wildrider/Lockdown.

That was actually my first guess on Motormaster. Now you make me want to look at my Wreck-Gar to see why he needs that long neck and why it can't be part of the head remold too.

Voyager Prime I could see as a second possibility, though. And I really like the idea of using an Activator or Legend as the chest car.

Here's a thought: maybe they will use a black version of Activators Bumblebee for Motormaster's "Roller"/Chest Car and then a green one with a new head as Wasp for the free attendee figure?

Yes, it's the Lockdown mold and it will be Wildrider. @Botcon already announced that via Twitter earlier this week.

 

This may be outta left field, but there has always been six Stunticons if you include
Menasor, and I believe you can use the Headmaster on Ultra Magnus. This along with the clue of a BIG head mold, maybe they will merge.

 

Wasnt it reported that that is wildrider?

 

Anyone get what he means by TMNT? In my world that means Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but if that's the case, I'm not getting the add/subtract or femme references. Anyone care to shred some light on this for me?

-A.S.

 

At one point TMNT had a female Turtle character added to the group.
Not the reporter.

I had thought the Maguns mold would look great as Motormaster.

 

Cool!

While I secretly hope for a UM repaint, I really think Motormaster is meant to be a truck, and therefore either Optimus or Wreckgar.

But I still lean towards Optimus.

 

You know, the old live action turtle show that had a crossover with Power Rangers In Space. It introduced the 5th turtle, their sister, I believe her name was Venus

 

That little black car is an interesting guess, but they couldn't make it deluxe, could they? It would almost have to be an Activator.

 

Is there no say for Sentinel Prime as Motormaster? I could really see that.
