#rid motormaster

[transingthoseformers]

Because i didn't watch RID15 i used to think Wildbreak was somebody's KOBD fankid. But apparently he's a real character.

That made me think, an AU where Wildbreak actually is their child. Whether through sparkmerging (which i think is weird), or sticky (which i find gross and too humanlike), whatever. I'd propably prefer the sparkmerging because i don't want to read about robovaginas. Anyway the reason i want a TF character to actually have a bio kid for once is the angst.

Knockout finds out he's carrying just before Breakdown's death and doesn't have the time to tell him or only finds out after his death, or maybe Breakdown does have time to find out shortly before he and Dreadwing go (that could be worse actually). Idk how many years there are between Breakdown's death and Predacons Rising, but it *can* make sense for cybertronian gestation to be a few years, since they're so huge and live for millions of years. In any case, Wildbreak would emerge after Cybertron's restoration and he looks so similiar to Breakdown.

Okay but before I had access to s3ish of RID15 SAME

Like I thought it was a situation where a specific oc got popular

I personally have a deep connection to the fanon sticky lore, but hey that's just me, and on this blog we know I'm willing to explore the idea of cybertronian sparklings.

Iicr, all of TFP occurred in a single year and Predacons Rising was pretty damn soon afterward, but the gap between say PR and RID15 is canonically three years. Now, I don't know the timespan that rid15 is during, but using rescue bots as our measuring stick because it's got an explicit four year timeskip in between s3 and S4, Bee can't talk in s3 but he can in S4 (and it's this big ol' thing) and we see Sideswipe in S4. So RID15 goes on for at least a year. All of these numbers are me going on a tangent aren't they

Back to the point, yes. Wildbreak is a KOBD kid who's rolling with the stunticons, who are in s3ish, which you can 100% work in here that they're Breakdown's old team and decided to take in his kid as one of their own (perhaps Knock Out requested it even?). Rid Motormaster is a bastard yes but this is a cool idea.

[millan-the-con]

I made an AU/Headcannon about KO, BD, WB, SS, MM and the Stunticons.

Breakdown is a Stunticon and Knockout never liked it, because of Breakdown's friends (the old Stunticon team and also an OC I created). The reason Knockout doesn't like them is that the Stunticons took Breakdown to be a bad Decepticons. Knockout doesn't have a Decepticon insignia, nor does Breakdown, and the Stunticons made him use an insignia; Starscream and Megatron saw that Breakdown and Knockout failed their missions a lot, so they decided to separate the two. Breakdown started doing missions with DeadEnd and Dragstrip's brother, and Knockout with Starscream and other bots; When Knockout had Wildbreak he swore on his life that Wildbreak would not be a Stunticon, and Breakdown was upset about this, as he himself was a Stunticon and wanted his Sparkling to be one too; After a while the two went on missions together again, and one day they disappeared, Wildbreak was about 6 years old (in human age) when this happened. Knockout and Breakdown knew they could gone at any moment, as the two were in a war, so they chose two bots to take care of Wildbreak if they were gone. Knockout chose Starscream and Breakdown chose Motormaster, which made Knockout frustrated, but it was his partner's choice so he just accepted it. With the disappearance of Knockout and Breakdown, the legacy of Starscream and Motormaster's parents, who didn't like each other very much. They sometimes fought, teased each other, argued, but they were sometimes buddies. When they went to take care of Wildbreak it was a mess because Motormaster didn't want to take care of Wildbreak and Starscream was upset and begged Motormaster to help him. Motormaster only changed his mind after he once found Starscream crying in hiding, as he felt overwhelmed and unable to take care of Wildbreak alone; Starscream and Motormaster started getting closer after Wildbreak, much to Megatron's displeasure, as he was not liking this closeness between the two. They took care of Wildbreak until he was about 7 years old, it seems like a short time, but it was actually a long time; Starscream and Motormaster sneaked around and did things in places where cameras couldn't reach them, as they knew Megatron wouldn't like it. They didn't do anything much, just exchange hugs and compliments.

Maybe I'll do a part 2 focusing more on these two↑ MY FAVORITE CRACKSHIP THAT I CREATED<33

[protagonistprime]

Hello everyone. Today i give you Legacy RID 2000/01 Universe "Reverse" Optimus Prime. When it comes to details for the head i had to use Banana force one given the fact that there was no modern figure from which i could borrow.

[yes-i-write-fanfiction]

Hello I found your account and I really love your au's. And I have idea for the one au it's RID!2015, in this au bumblebee is motormaster son(if you watch season 3 you know who's it). So what did you say?

I like it. I am always a sucker for broken homes (IN FICTION) and this AU absolutely REEKS of it. Bumblebee being ashamed of his terrible dad and Motormaster being ashamed of his son for being such a fucking wimp.

Young Bumblebee: Dad, I don't like this...

Motormaster: Man up and start shoveling! These bodies ain't gonna burry themselves!

Young Bumblebee: :(

[ID: The Stunticon in: "Sunk Cost Part 2." Mikki rooting around under a console in Motormaster's ship, covered in grease and dust. Mikki voiceover: "A lot of the time I'm not sure if I even want to find you. You guys were kind of dicks to me. And everyone else." Mikki stands on a ladder in front of a ship diagnostic monitor, checking that everything is in working order. "But... you were a better family than the other one. You made me who I am, no matter how weird that is to deal with." Mikki checks their large inventory of nonperishable food with pen and clipboard. "Fuck, I don't know. I know I don't belong here. I miss you. I wonder if you've forgotten me yet." Mikki comes down the ramp to find Leo standing with hands on her hips looking up at the ship. "I know you've put a lot of work into this thing," Leo says, "but actually doing it is a death sentence." Mikki hugs her wordlessly, and she sighs. Mikki's voiceover continues: 'Cause I don't intend to let you forget about me, ever. Who gives a fuck if it's a bad idea, I'm going to make you respect me." We zoom out until the whole solar system is visible. The pink jet trail of Mikki's ship spirals out, slingshotting around Jupiter and Uranus and then out into interstellar space. "So the rest of you better not get killed by the Mayhems before I fidn you, or I'll kick your robot asses." Mikki's doodles are rain birds, winged snakes, and stars. end ID]

[pluralsword]

ID (1 of 10): A custom of IDW1 Arcee from Legacy Elita, painted in light and deep pink, gray, cyan, white, and black resembling her 2014-2018 color scheme. She standing in front of a sci-fi polityscape backdrop eith knees slightly bent and holding two 3d print from shapewats energy blades resembling her swords from the comics. Her head is also a 3d print- but modified with 'green stuff' sculpting paste to give her helm guards, and her crest tail (not visible). Her painted lips are smiling with wide optics. End ID.

IDW1 Arcee is mostly done! Identifying transforming spots that scrape & may paint up assymetries, also looks nice like this. Love her, having her makes us so happy. Her (trans) story means so much to us it's relatable & beautiful ty for the she pronouns

ID (2 of 10): Aforementioned IDW1 Arcee custom in combat in front of the same backdrop, one saber bebind her striking Siege Ion Storm with a blast effect, her other sword swept forward and upwards to meet CW Motormaster's downward striking longsword . Behind Ion Storm a deceased bot (sparkless car mold) lies on the floor holding a rifle, and in front of Arcee CW Bombshell collapses to a kneel with a blue blast effect around his head, and Frenzy waves his arms holding a eifle with a fire egfect coming out near the firing chamber and pistol grip. End ID.

ID (3 of 10): Behind the same backdrop (inaccurately), Arcee leaps on a flight stand with a red jetpack like the one she used in the comics given by Sideswipe, and she is carrying Bumblebee in tow by his hands with one of her own, and in her left hand she is holding a sword swept at her side. This was meant to resemble a panel from Trsnsformers Unicron #1 Last Stand, you can find the image on the Arcee(G1)/2005_IDW_continuity page on tfwiki! End ID.

ID (4 of 10): Arcee shares an embrace and a with a custom Aileron (from TR Topspin), the two in turn hugged by Anode (from RID 15 warrior Windblade), Greenlight (from CW Brawl), Lancer (from CW Swindle), and Lug (from TR Rewind). End ID.

Bonus round #1!! If they ever make a 2014-2018 Arcee with the alt mode inspired by the Lotus Elite (which is what Andrew Griffith based her on) we would be thrilled.

ID (5 of 10): Arcee, sitting in front of a scifi polityscape backdrop, with an open book in her hands held as if reading. Seated around her are Gauge (SonicBlue Bumble custom), Sideswipe II (IF Heavy Metal) S86 Wheelie, Kingdom Vertebreak, and Armada Sureshock. End ID.

ID (6 of 10): Arcee in a duel facing away from the camera and towards her twin sibling (Kingdom) Galvatron, her left sword blocking his downward ax strike, her her right sword snuck under his left ax striking arm, while his right arm fires his fusion cannon with a blue blast effect. End ID.

ID (7 of 10): Arcee stepping forward with her blades outwards, on her right Nautica (wfc Chromia custom) is flourishing her wrench, and on her left  T30 Chromia strides with an unlicensed shield and halberd, while behknd the three TR Windblade hovers on a flight. stand, arms outstretched, her T30 Windblade sword Stormfall in her right hand. End ID.

ID (8 of 10): The IDW1 Arcee custom of these posts in her alt mode (a buggy because that was Elita's) seen at a leftwards angle from the front, with a blue windshield, headlights, and a pink and white armor paint scheme based on the comics. End of ID.

Bonus round #2: why do we love her? In short, she has a complex gender journey grappling with side effects, androcentrism, hierarchy, needing more than one try, and love. She’s a trans sword sapphic sage who attached herself to a movement she doesn't fully trust in order to do some good while still doing things her own way, and we honestly think Arcee’s intentional trans and/or sapphic iterations and arcs in the IDW comics are some of the best things to have come out of the license. (wow we somehow kept that to a paragraph we guess we are getting used to talking about her outside of prose or conversations).

ID (9 of 10): Arcee standing sidewards in a front stance holding her two handed one edged and back of blade spiked pink and black sword she used with her Combiner Hunter/stealth deco (this one is from an unlicensed weapon set not the official one). End ID.

ID (10 of 10): A group of Arcees holding each other in front of a scifi polityscape backdrop.

[some-tf-reblogs]

Checked news about new Transformers toy releases and while there's no Overlord, there's seems to be a new Slipstream figure.

[brandwhorestarscream]

Tfp skystar/jettwins,but it is jetfire(instead of starscream) that appears in the sequence of prime(RID)

He enters the plot as a neutral (and chaotic) character who just wants to mind his own business rather than fuck and find out with the teams that are on Earth(He inherited it from skyfire).To his misfortune, he always ends up meeting someone from both teams and, sometimes, fighting against them.

They only find out that he is starscream's son because they (mainly wildbreak) end up telling about the appearance of a young unknown mech that always defeats motormaster and when bumblebee,Optimus, knockout and ratchet ask for a picture/hologram of the young "nomad" they freak out because he is a seeker and there is only one of this kind to make this possible

Ooooh, now this. This is interesting! Ya got anything else for us anon? :>

[bitegore]

I was reminded that i've written like, almost an essay about Motormaster Characterization in the comments of a fic i wrote in class one time and now i'm gonna transfer them to a post so you can all see them.

Obligatory reminder at the start that a) this gets long, and b) this is my own personal take. If it conflicts with yours, great, two cakes, I like reading fics with different interpretations than my own. However, if you vibe with it, buffet rules apply, take whatever you want and however much you want and leave whatever you don't :D free headcanons to a good home or whatever, lol

In regards to Motormaster's approach to authorities, subordinates and equals:

Motormaster literally doesn't know what an "equal" is. If he were anyone else, Scrapper would be approaching him as an equal, but Motormaster has no idea what to make of equals. He has subordinates and he has authorities who must be obeyed, and if one isn't an authority one MUST be a subordinate somehow, or at least treated like one in his head. It's not really his fault that he has no social skills whatsoever, but either he needs to learn them or he needs to get out of the way, pretty much. Scrapper just kind of goes "okay, fuck it, i am your superior by rule of seniority" instead of trying to make friends as equals. Onslaught doesn't have the leave to throw his weight around the same way, so instead Motormaster acts like a dick until some other authority (here, Scrapper) gets in his way about it, but Onslaught is perfectly capable of retaliating as long as Motormaster starts it.

In regards to Motormaster having been "built for leadership" vs having the actual qualities of leadership:

I like the idea that Motormaster may have been "built for leadership" (he is probably the best leader of the bunch just by process of elimination, unfortunately) but he does not have enough emotional maturity or problem-solving skills to actually lead. This guy solves all his problems by hitting them until they go away. You cannot be a leader like that, it does not work, your team will either fracture underneath you and stop working or they will fracture underneath you and decide to get rid of you, no two ways about it.

...Motormaster is so headstrong that he refuses to listen to any ideas he can't pretend are his own or otherwise line up along what he already thinks. Scrapper can threaten him into being polite, but unless he makes politeness into a game to be won that is a prelude to fists and swords and guns (it can be done, but probably not by Scrapper) he cannot convince Motormaster of the value of being polite. He can tell Motormaster that he needs to treat his team better or he'll be ousted, but he can't convince Motormaster of the same unless he can frame it as not only not treason (he Will defend the other Stunticons' honor, after all) but the correct Decepticon response, and something that Megatron would approve of, AND that treating his team with kindness and evenhandedness is not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength, AND!!!! that Mtoromaster will come over stronger not only to his team but also the rest of the faction if he jumps to violence less and trades on words rather than actions. All of which will require a really deft hand, and one Scrapper doesn't feel like wielding at the moment. ... I think that's one lesson Motormaster will have to learn from experience, actually. I can't see anyone meeting him at his level and also being someone he'd deign to listen to in the first place, so instead he'll have to suffer the consequences of his actions in some way or another to decide that he needs a new first response to conflict outside "roll over and seethe internally" and "literally start beating people"

What it really comes down to is that Motormaster lacks almost every tool in a good leader's arsenal. He is a poor communicator, he is recalcitrant, he is stubborn, he takes his failures out on his team, he claims responsibility for his teammates' successes, he is absolutely ignorant of his own flaws, he has no emotional management skills and even worse emotional mediation skills, he does not work with his subordinates but against them, and he sees nothing wrong with this. He's not entirely to blame because he is new, untested and untried and without any of the experience he would need to actually succeed at this, but he's also got no interest in changing, because he thinks he has this shit in the bag and it's only because he was saddled with a defective team full of idiots who don't know how to listen to him that anything ever goes wrong. And, of course, not only does everyone outside the Sunticons know this, but most of the Stunticons do, too :( Motormaster is the only one who thinks he's doing a decent job. The other Stunticons just also don't know how to do anything different either, since none of them have those skills either, and they've never been led by a team leader who does.

Irt the "age" of the Stunticons, something difficult to quantify because they're adult robots who were built very recently and given 0 guidance on how to be functional people:

The stunticons in general are fascinating to me because they have the like, physical and social standing and skills of a young adult (i'd place them around mid-twenties, given they're new to the Decepticons and could be likened to recent college grads) but absolutely zero life experience whatsoever, and the emotional self-management skills of an older child at best. It makes for a really interesting contradiction because they are like. SO ill suited for basically any task that isn't "go in, shoot autobots, get out" and even then they struggle with that because they don't get along well. Given a little bit of time and patience- and probably some external lessons on "being nice", "using your words", and "communicating issues and then solving them together" like the average person irl gets from the ages of 2-15 lmfao- I think they'd all be able to mature into genuinely effective fighters and a genuinely functional team, but first they like. have to not kill each other or get shot for insubordination lmao

Irt Motormaster trying to start a fight with Scrapper, a large part of the fic, but also regarding his approach to interpersonal dynamics in general, just applied narrowly:

Motormaster doesn't have any emotional processing skills, just like the rest of his team. None of them have any life skills at all. Scrapper is just impossible to rile unless he wants to be riled, and since MM has no way to escalate the situation that wouldn't put him objectively in the wrong (he cannot start hitting people here! they're of the same rank as him and both have seniority, though onslaught's position is significantly more tenuous than Scrapper's, so it's against the rules) so instead he just has to chill the fuck out or leave, which would be retreating, which would be losing. So he can't do that either. Someone help this poor truck, he can't start a fight without getting in trouble :(( his life is so hard :((((

and, finally, in the eternal and hilarious words of my friend @megatronismegagone who summed this all up better than i ever could (because I have to write whole fics to say what others can manage in a few sentences, of course)

his self awareness is at negative 1000 and his dicks bigger than his brain. hes such a fucking dude. oh my god. onslaught needs to kick the shit out of him a few times. actually no he needs someone to dunk him in the ocean and shake him dry every time he does or says some bullshit. his socialization is lower than his self awareness somehow

[transingthoseformers]

I keep on thinking about Wildbreak and how if he is Knockout and Breakdowns child, how did Motormaster recruit him? I sincerely doubt Knockout and Breakdown willing let their kid get involved with Motormaster and becoming Menasnor. So do you think Wildbreak was kidnapped? Was Knockout forced to let him go? Also all the angst

I always assumed that Breakdown left the Quintessons and that somehow, somehow, Wildbreak took his place

Considering how close Dragstrip and Wildbreak are, I assumed that Dragstrip dragged both of them back into it. Seems to me like out of the "original" stunticons team, by the time rid15 rolls around it's only Motormaster and Dragstrip left with no Breakdown, Dead End, or Wildrider in sight.

I also see the opportunity for Wildbreak to be highly curious about his carrier's past with the Stunticons and finding his goals aligned well enough with the group

[millan-the-con]

TFP and TFRID CRACKSHIPS<3

Hey, TFP and TFRID2015 fans!! I came here to find out if yall have any TFP or TFRID2015 crackship. Mine are already there😘 (Yes, I created the Screamy ship with Motormaster)

[protagonistprime]

Hello Everybody. Today i give you my take on Torchbearer Pyra magna. When it comes to "Reverse" part in my head i had an idea that this is her before she became a victorion. Also Legacy Motormaster figure kinda reminded me a bit of RID 2001 Optimus Prime. 

Transformers and Pyra Magna belong to Hasbro and Takara This digibash i guess belongs to me

[dragon-snoots-a-boopin]

So here’s Transformers Legacy Commander Class Motormaster! God this is so cool and it’s even more cool when you combine him into what is basically Menasor just without the limb bots. Either way, Motormaster is very cool. However, I do think that $85 is too much and that’s because Motormaster suffers from what a lot of recent leader class figures suffer from and that’s that Motormaster is basically a leader class with a trailer so Hasbro bumps him into the Commander Class. It’s like how Legacy leader class RID 2000 universe Scourge is a voyager class with trailer so Hasbro bumps him up to leader class. Not really worth $85 but I doubt it’ll go on sale ever.

[virovac]

Two things I think we should add to Menasor incarnations

Yelling at his limbs/himself like in the RID cartoon

Menasor hating Motormaster just like all the other Stunticons.
