@@whyamiherequestionmark1 yup, that's what he said, they would drive, jump, transform in mid air and attack the autobots by slamming into them. Love the idea :)
Motormaster was my favorite G1 toy for sure. I loved that he was a truck rival for Prime. And there's just something about the color schemes of the whole team. So cool! Can't wait to collect the whole X-Transbots MP team!
I'm glad now that the new generation stunticons and other combiner teams are scaled properly compared to g1 80s toys. I cannot believe how much more detailed as well as complex to make robot and vehicle mode more accurate as they appears on g1 cartoon.
Yeah: it’s a G1 Toy but it is still amazing how awful those robot modes look compared to the Constructicons G1 toys’ robot modes; which came much earlier and yet looked a lot better than these.
Think the Constructicons were the only ones that couldn't switch position, but then I don't actually know that for sure. I do know they weren't Scramble City combiners. Was under the impression that only the Scramble City combiners in G1 could switch the limb bots positions.
I remember having one of these when I was a kid in a local toy store that sells old 80's toy, and over the years i lost mine I hope I could find another one of these
My dad had breakdown and wildrider when I was a kid and I remember when he first told me you could combine five transformers to get a bigger robot it blew my mind.
This along with all of your reviews are really grade A awesome, tour the first toy reviewer I’ve subscribed to mainly for your awesome content. Keep up the good work man
@@tekkenfan01 yeah, atleast once a month or maybe a old toy from a past toyline , consider his schedule is packed with other toys like marvel legend, kamen rider, third parties and all
Great review on the G1 Stunticons, Emgo. I bought the KO G1 reissue Stunticons and bought the repro labels and applied them. Bought this set and reprolabels 5 years ago.
Stunticons were one of my favs but I never had them, so I also never new how they transformed. Never had a full combiner team actualy either. Just bits. Thank you for sharing this.
Menasor was nice, but I've always been a defensor boy. Mainly cause the only g1 toy I ever owned back in the 90's was First Aid. But now a whole 22 years later I have 4/5 Defensor parts, just need Blades. Managed to get a complete Hot Spot, carded but worn Groove and loose no accessories Streetwise. Been a big fan of you reviews for the past 2 to 3 years now and will be with you many years to come.Keep up the good work!
These were the best we got back in the 1980s. But I couldn't help but buy the Transformers legacy stunticons figures released recently. They are in about perfect scale with the G1 Autobots cars
The G1 Aerialbots also had some of the best plane modes and when they would transform into their robot modes they would collide with the Decepticon Seekers!!!
I only ever had 2 full combiners as a kid, Menasor and Defensor. I still have both, combined, sitting on my shelf. Recently got the reissue Constructicon set - I only had 2 of the Constructicons as a kid, and I had lost a bunch of them years ago and never really knew what happened to them. Now I've been buying the MPs and I love how they look, especially Optimus (MP-10) and Megatron (MP-36.)
I got this as a set for my birthday in 1986 - still have the full set. Did you know Motormaster's base mode not only connects to Trypticon, but also can connect to Metroplex. The Stunticons and Combaticons were designed to interact with Metroplex and the Aerialbots and Protectobots.
It blew my mind when I found out that. Still have stunticons, aerialbots, and Metroplex and never knew about that. Some really cool engineering for the day.
The Best version of these guys!! I'm hoping someday some company just updates these guys and keeps motor master the way he is. Just give him and the others more articulation. I wouldn't mind the Menasor merging pieces at all.
Handling scale, I used perception. When I had small scale I insisted my friends play on the other side of the room with the bigger bots. If reversed and I had the larger scale still worked but pretend they were far away and scale really didn't matter. Sad I lied, I had no friends
I've just finished watching "The Transformers" episode "The Key To Victor Sigma Part 2" when your Stunticons review popped up on RU-vid minutes later last Friday. Good review by way on the Stunticons were super tough for me to get, bought the last set on Amazon.com and I'm very happy about the slow month long delivery by the US Postal Service that resulted the third party seller I've ordered the Stunticons from to give me the G1 Technobots for free to make up for it. 😎
I know the original G1 team is all cars, but IMO I like the official Combiner Wars version that replaces Wildrider with Off-road because it gives more verity with stunt vehicles. A formula-1 race car A street race car A European race car And an off road rally truck
Please do more of those G1 Reviews, its just such a pleasure to see them. Also didnt Motor Master used to have a spring loaded "catapult" for the evil Roller in his ramp mode?
I had to look it up to answer this. The Japanese release did have a springloaded mechanism to launch the car with. Can't say it never showed up in US releases, but the two sources I looked aty both say it was there in the Japanese release. www.tfu.info/1986/Decepticon/Motormaster/motormaster.htm tfwiki.net/wiki/Motormaster_(G1)
i just got the KO. Wildriders head broke off. :/ Wildrider is the only one I had an original of complete....so now I have a KO Menasor with a vintage Wildrider leg. The luck...
I know the G1 motor master. Was tiny compared to G1 prime. So I would have G1 onslaught play chicken with Optimus prime instead where they were more in scale with each other.
I don't think the instructions outside of Japan had the base mode, as I don't remember it either. I was in the UK and Trypticon never made it over there, the only large robots available being Metroplex and Scorponok, no Fort Max or Tryp. Guess they thought us Brits couldn't afford all four. And we didn't get Omega either, now I come to remember, or the Constructicons, our selection was always less than the US.
@@dodgyb2001 A friend of mine definitely had Trypticon back in the day. I never personally saw it in any UK shops but his parents must have found it in stock somewhere.
@@gibbie80s61 I remember seeing a set of constructions at Staffordshire fair, but I don't think they were officially released there. Your friend was very lucky!
@@dodgyb2001 I have scans of most G1 instructions and I just had a look. You are right. The English instructions show the ramp mode but not the full base mode. The Japanese instructions show the full base mode. Also, that same friend had Omega Supreme too. No idea where he was getting them from.
I remember getting Motor Master for Xmas as a kid and being super disappointed by him. I wanted him so bad to have an opposite to my brother's Optimus and he was so much smaller as well as the horrible transformation. I ended up using the money I got from Xmas to get an Optimus of my own and stole my moms paints and repainted him yo look like Motor Master. Being 6 or so at the time the paint job wasn't the best but I was sure proud of it at the time.
Every time I see a modern take on MororMaster I try to remember how he looked like as a G1 toy and I've watched this video so many times now. And yes, he's as blocky as could be expected. Plus it's G1 so scale can be thrown out the window :D
14:09 "pew pew bang bang, slash slash slash slash" You should've said slish slish slash slash since pew pew bang bang has pew change to bang in the middle but that's just my opinion.
I really wish we got a motor master with siege engineering. Even if he didn’t combine, I just love his vehicle and robot mode and wish he got the siege treatment
Sad thing is I used to have G1 Optimus Prime, G1 Bumblebee, G1 Hot Rod but they got old and someone I knew threw them in the bin when I wasn’t home I stopped talking to them after that
