    Which Stunticon is typically known as the fan favourite? Assuming Deadend or Wildrider

    I don't know if there's a consensus, but for the majority, I suspect Drag Strip is the least favorite, similar to Slingshot for the Aerialbots and Groove for the Protectobots.

    I'd say for me personally, Breakdown is my favorite as long as he's white and not cream/barf colored, but personality-wise Dead End is more of a match.

    As far as I’m aware, there’s no consensus. Why don’t you do a poll in the General Discussion section and find out!

    (Personally, I like Drag Strip best.)

    That’s the cool thing about the TF continuity is how much they tried to add unique personality to each and every bot. I think my favourite might be MotorMaster because he’s so obsessed with being the king of the road and taking out Prime. But Dead Ends pessimism and intelligence always made me laugh.

    I’d say Breakdown or Motormaster seem to be the most popular among the Stunticons

    I'm trying to remember which one I liked the most when I was a kid back in the 80's. I think Wild Rider might have been my favorite but I was a big fan of Lamborghini's so it could have been Breakdown.

    Dead End was probably least favorite. I never liked that model of Porsche.

    Yep, Dragstrip is also my fav stunticons.
    When you see him drive up vertically, you must love him. :D 

    But seeing what cars they are, then Breakdown and Wildrider should be favs since they are the best sport cars.
    Deadend Porsche, well it's dead version of porsche. They never made new models of this one like the 911. At least not to my knowledge.

    Probably Dead End, mostly cause of his attitude.

    For me, Drag Strip was my favorite for the longest time, but now that's shifted to a neck-and-neck race between Motormaster and Dead End.

    For me:

    Dead End for his comically nihilist personality in the cartoon

    Motormaster for being a sort of 'evil' Prime a decade before Black Convoy/Nemesis Prime/Shattered Glass were ever a thing (even if he ends being a wannabe rival that Optimus really doesn't have time for, which is an interesting dynamic in its own way)

    I have to add that I didn't really care for Wildrider or Dragstrip before Fans Toys put out Magnum.

    I bought Magnum, but wasn't really into it and thought I'd end up selling it. But FT put so much care into the design and execution and it really shows through. He's now one of my favourite figures in my collection! And, now I can't wait to get Smokey.

    always liked how the stunticons were like the opposite of the autobots when it comes to robot and transformation, having the front of the cars being their legs intead of the usual chest and motormaster having the cab on his legs instead

    I disassembled Magnums head since his head tilt is very loose (I think there was lubricant in there from the factory) and it can easily be done and I got the pin out but I dont have anything to make it a bit thicker so he can keep his head up for once. Any ideas? All I have is superglue :lol

    Breakdown has the front of the car as his legs while Sideswipe has the front of the car as his chest
