The Stunticons Retrospective - Decepticon Kings of the Road! 

When the Decepticons needed some wheels to combat the Autobots, they constructed the Stunticons to battle them on the roads. This team combines into the mighty Menasor! Be sure to check out more of my Transformers Discussions and Retrospectives! Protectobots Retrospective: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UxolmLRLV2Q.html How Did the original Dinobot affect his clone? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FJ9LYdM8w2Y.html

I love how the Stunticons’ personality’s naturally clash, and that Motormaster is basically an angry single dad, trying to keep his unruly kids who hate each other in line, who really hates his neighbor just because he’s jealous of his car.

While the Constructicons is a team of buddies that love to build and wreck, the Stunticons are disfunctional family that is force to stand each other in order to fight

I wish Hasbro could explore more the rivalry between Optimus Prime and Motormaster, truck vs truck is quite fun

My favorites Stunticon is Dead End. Yes, he's not such a nihilist as he was cynical and a realist. Dead End and I share that cynicism. Plus he had a dry/wry humor, like myself: "A flying car! How droll!"

I love how the TF characters make funny puns,insults and one-liners

As someone who got into the series as a kid in 2006 it's wild that just the idea of a decepticon car was a major innovation at the time! Many memorable modern decepticons owe alot to these guys!

To this day I've never forgotten that one punch Menasor delivered to Bruticus. Awesome stuff back then. "Bruticus?" *Hand reaches up and grabs starscream's throat* "NOT Bruticus. MEGATRON, your leader!"

Despite it being their weakness, I like how they all hate each other, especially Motormaster. Because there can only be one King of the Road

"I am King of the road" -Motor Master

This is an interesting group. Their team dynamic is unique, and their personalities make for a dysfunctional gestalt. Also, it appears they have multiple rivalries going on. The Aerialbots, Protectobots, and Combaticons all have enemity with this group. In fact, it appears at times that the Protectobots make a better antithesis; law and order vs wanton destruction and rebellion.

Deadend is my favourite cause in g1 he had some memorable one liners plus a personality that made him stand out even if he is a downer.

While Optimus survived the collision, I could see that he still felt pain. That proves Motormaster is dangerous.

"You mean Rumble takes it!" One of my favorite lines from those episodes.

In my opinion, the stunticons are so underrated. I hope that they get more attention in the war for cybertron trilogy

Aside from the Ultimate Weapon, Menasor was a consistently powerful threat throughout the cartoon’s run.

The Decepticons got the most interesting Combiner teams.

I got Motormaster for Christmas one year as a kid...never got any of the others though.

Menasor Is the only combiner who scared me. Think Motormaster and Nemesis Prime compete to kill Optimus?

OP was the king of the road, he smashed that fool flat. My favorite was Breakdown. His color scheme was awesome

I hate it when Decepticons and Autobots are depicted as being biologically different, so I really enjoy the stunticons

Something that is kind odd is how slowly each stunticon member returned to prominence in different Transformers show. First it was Breakdown if Prime; Than Motormaster, Drag Strip and Menasor in RID 2015; And now Dead End in Cyberverse. Now I'm just waiting for Wildrider's turn

I love how they drive in nonsenical and cartoony ways and work together. I literally watched them combo Smokescreen off the road and Motor Master come down from above and flatten Wheeljack

The Stunticons are one of my favorite Decepticon subgroups/combiner team. I love Motormaster transforming into a Kenworth K100 semi truck. My love of semi trucks and robots is what got me turned onto Transformers as a kid in the first place!

I like Motormaster being the epitome of a tyrant, and I love the chaotic nature of Wildrider.

Breakdown: I always feel like somebody’s watching me Me: breakdowns traits sound like a song

In games, some of the Stunticons appeared in the Cybertron games, Motormaster appearing in the DS versions of WFC, Breakdown appeared in the principal versions of WFC, FOC and ROTDS and Dragstrip appeared in ROTDS too. In addition, we know Off-road is going to appear in the new incoming game, Transformers Battlegrounds.

ThERe GoNnA bUilD aN aRmY oF CoMBinErS!!!!!!! Absolutely fantastic

I've always found it funny that when the first trailer released for Age of Extinction, there was a theory that the gray truck that would be revealed as Galvatron was actually Motormaster

I like all of the G1 Combiners, especially the Stunticons and the Aerialbots!!!

4:06 The way he grabs and chucks that person in the f-1 car made me laugh hard.

Wow, never had these toys when I was a kid. Always wanted the Stunticons.

Just putting this out there, the stunticons are my favorite combiner team

Glad we are getting new Stunticons.

I love how canonically, wildrider ragequit the stunticons because of the team not working together.

Menasaur’s theme in Devastation serves him so much justice. The riff and choir is absolutely perfect. Gotta love metal

"Life is short. Stunt it!" --Hot Rod

I like Wildrider, and how his head has the points on the side that make it look like he has a cowboy hat! It’s such a fantastic design that works well with his personality!

when I first saw the Stunticons I was like "is that-are those evil Autobots?" and then my young brain struggles to comprehend that the Decepticons now have cars in their ranks and the Autobots later have Planes. it's kinda sad that the Stunticons (as well as combiners as a whole) is often over looked or their character traits changed over the years, back then I remember going like "on crap it's the Stunticons, let's hope they fight each other so they'll be easier to defeat" the Stunticons aren't weak, they appeared quite a bit in G1 and yet... also 9:45 the one time that I could remember Starscream "winning" Megatron, him admitting it and Megatron giving up his position over the years

Breakdown is my favorite G1 Stunticon!!!

I love Wildrider - he was nuts!

In my opinion, Menasor seems to be the most dangerous Combiner due to not controlling himself in a combined form

Dead End is my favorite Only Decepticon see the worst of every situation ( even if the situation is good )

Funny how Menasor was perhaps the strongest Decepticon Combiner before the likes of Predaking, Abominus, & Piranhacon/King Poseidon.

I just realized he's done a video on the most Decepticons cars he mentioned; Battle chargers and Barricade. Guess we'll have to wait for the Vehicons.

The Stunticons are my favorite characters. I love how they're more direct rivals for the Autobots. I didn't know the thing about how the pictures of the toys were faxed over to the animation people. That's funny, haha.

I find the stunticons are underrated all there personality's all rival and bicker with each other and I just love that making the stunticons my favourite combiner team

Dead end was my favorite G1 Stunticon, I liked his voice and his gloomy "who cares? We are all doomed anyways" attitude. Bruticus was my preferred combiner character-wise, but I have to admit the original G1 Menasor toy always looked more solid. I am a bit disappointed in how "gangly" looking the recent combined wars Menasor looks when compared to the classic figure.

Realistically, Motormaster should be the size of a combiner all by himself.

I would have really wanted to see the Stunticons in Transformers Animated after the last S3 episode!!! The show is so underrated

7:08 OW!! MY ACHING CYLINDERS!!!😂😂😂 MOTORMASTER GOT EM!!! STILL MAKES ME LAUGH EVERY TIME SINCE 88'!! 😅😅😂😂

I find it interesting that the trailer made up most of Motor master, while the truck made up his feet. Not done with the video yet, but so far it’s fantastic as always! As a “younger” fan I love learning more about the franchise that I’ve loved for so many years. Also can’t wait for the next discussion video, those are definitely my favorite!

I wish both Autobot and Decepticon combiner were in the movie just like Devastator. PS. The IDW comics goes way over my head.

I love the "honeymooners" Ralph Kramden/Ed Norton dynamic between RiD 2010's Drag Strip and Wildbreak.

What? Motormaster’s trailer changes into a repair bay? Someone time travel and tell my 8y/o self that because I never knew.

MOTORMASTER- Stunticons TRANSFORM !!!! This was my favorite line from G1 season 3

Great video. Motormaster is my fave Stunticon, he reminds of the Smokey and the Bandit movies. Onslaught was the only combiner team leader I had as a kid. I was able to get the G1 Stunticons on ebay back in 2010.

Nice! I recently got Menasor as my first combiner in Earth Wars!

Having these guys (and the Aerialbots) be the first teams released in Combiner Wars is probably what got me collecting Transformers again

What a great video! I never had any idea how awesome the Stuntacons were. I always wanted Motormaster when I was a kid but my parents never got me many Decepticons.

Huh, looks like you beat McFeely to the punch. Been waiting AGES for him to cover these guys.

When I first play War For cybertron I was so confused how WFC Breakdown and Prime breakdown were the same guy. Like they had nothing in common. At first I always thought the Prime breakdown made more sense, but now I know cause how paranoid he was it fits with Mental Breakdown.

In a series I'm working on, I was thinking of having the Stunticons being a faction of renegade cybertronians from the speed planet, Velocitron. They would be lead by the ambitious Motormaster, who seeks to be the king of Velocitron. However, he could never beat Override in a race and formed a group of Velocitronians who dislike their currently ruler.

In all honesty, the stunticon, when I was a kid, were my least favorite combiner team. But this has been a great review, as usual. It's not that the stunticon were not fun, but to my kid self, they were a cheap knockoff of my awesome Autobots. Older me likes them more. But Devastator will forever be number one (followed by computron, who I think was very underused in the show) Good job Rodimus Primal!

If not for my beloved (loathed?) Constructicons, the Stunticons would be my favourite combiner team, with Dead End as my fave member. (Swindle volunteering Dead End to potentially poison himself in "Five Faces Of Darkness" was PRIME!) "Trans-Europe Express" was a top ten episode: aside from Motormaster crushing poor Wheeljack, and how Sideswipe & Sunstreaker were taken out, I always loved how Smokescreen SAW Wildrider approaching, stated his name, but did NOTHING to stop him from crashing into him. (And Drag Strip got a crunch in, too!) 😂 And on the subject, Bluestreak, Tracks, and Bumblebee deserve "Autobots Of The Milennia" awards for taking on Megatron, Soundwave, Rumble, the Constructicons, AND the Stunticons!! 🏆🏆🏆 Despite his mental instability, it always seemed to me that Menasor was the most powerful of the Decepticon combiners. Perhaps he's not as intelligent and canny as Predaking, but he's pretty darn effective!

Stunticons my fav combiners, together the the Terrorcons and that team that formed predaking

My favorites were definitely Deadend and Breakdown. I feel like my IRL personality is the combination of the two lol. I also felt like the Stunticons had some of the best individual personalities of the G1 cartoon combiners. I find many other of the combiner personalities to be forgettable, with the exception of the Combaticons.

Without a doubt my favorite combiner team ever. I always loved their G1 personalities. Currently collecting the Fanstoys versions of them and I can't wait to complete the set and combine them into Menasor.

Motormaster was always my favorite. I really do wish someone would re-engineer the Combiner Wars Hot Spot transformation scheme into a Combiner Wars Motormaster that has a trailer that makes up his body. So far there's been two attempts at a replacement cor the Combiner Wars Motormaster and both really didn't do it for me.

Thanks for doing this one. Hands down my favorite combiner team!

Love dragstrip and honestly I really liked the rid dragstrip

Actually, Megatron(which he was involved in altering all the cars when Rumble delivered them to him, which is cool cause Prime was also involved in helping build the Arielbots)created the Stunticons. But as usual, great video and always informative!

One of my favorite shows to date! I love the Stunticons!

I like how Galvatron acknowledged the outro.

Masquerade was one my favourite episodes.

Drag strip is my favorite stunticon.

They will always be my favorite deceptions.

Hats off to the coolest combiner team.

Motormaster is the obvious king of the road, but Breakdown is my favorite with Dead End at a close second

I’d have to go with Wildrider as my favorite Stunticon. Can’t wait for his new figure.

I love the Animated Version of the Stunticons and the music you used is very fitting for them.

Menasor just looked so cool compared to most (if not all) of the deception combiners.

Great video i still have my original stunticons toys from the 80s. Break down has always been my fave member of the stunticons.

Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!! I mentioned the Stunticons in your Rescuebot video! They were my favorite Transformers! They did lead the way as far as Decepticon vehicles! All hail the original bad bots of the Transformers roadway!

I hated RID Stunticons. They were great until they were just done away with in an instant. They should have had more time as Menasor. And even as Menasor they were too unstable to be a threat. In short my pros/cons of RID Stunticons Pros: They could combine in pairs Brought Menasor back into the spotlight Made a good recurring cast of villains for a series called “Combiner Force” Cons: A lot of build up without a fitting climax Menasor was too unstable they could fall apart if any bot got too scared They were too short lived and were replaced by the non-combiner Soundwave and then Galvatronus as the big bad for the series finale

Gotta admit...I like me some Motormaster. It was a good move to give Prime a rival truck Decepticon. Plus, I love MM's color scheme.

I can't imagine Dashie voicing somebody *oh* *wait* *he* *did*

Well, 2022 looks like a great year for the Stunticons. They're getting a new Menasor series of figures with the Legacy line. I just bought Dragstrip today, and this time I want to be up to date on releases (I missed the 2019 wave for SS RotF Devastator).

18:22 *they're gonna build an army of combiners!* 🤣😭 why does that exist?; *these wheels are made for crushin* - Motormaster

Motormaster has always been my favorite stunticon, but Ultra Magnus will always be king of the road

Out of all their incarnations, the originals are my favorites. I always found it interesting that while the Autobot Combiners tended to have physical weaknesses, the Decepticon Combiners all had mental ones. I must admit though that I liked that some of the Combiner Wars teams had more members, so could result in different variations of Menasor. In recent years I wish they had shown the ability to channel their individual powers into Menasor's weapons, for example Dragstrip's plasma abilities into his gun or Breakdown's vibration abilities into the sword.

In Age of Extinction, the Stunticons could have fit in nicely as some of the KSI drones. After the Hong Kong battle, would survive and be set up in the The Last Knight to combine into Menasor.

Yes finaily a stunticons retrospective video 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Shutout to my hometown of Fort Wayne, IN home to the first BotCon.

The stunticons! Awesome combiners to create the villainous menasor! Cool enough to team up with Bruticus, and strong enough to pop Devastator in the face with one Mighty blow!

Love your retrospectives! Hope to see one on the Combaticons!

7:01 I hate scenes like this I thought the autobots just straight up died Luckily they live

Another great discussion, I always enjoy the insight and information you deliver in each one.

Did you know with the new additions from heatseeker, slashmark, wildbreak offroad and overrun. You could create a whole new line up of combineing stunticons

Menasor is my favorite Deception,Combiner, and Most Favorite Transformer and also Finally a video about the Stunticons
