FIRST APPEARANCE: TRANSFORMERS # 22

“These wheels are made for crushing.”

Profile: On the road, there is not a 16-ton hunk of rolling steel more
cold and cruel than Motormaster. He shows mercy to none, least of all the unfortunate
human drivers who happen to be sharing a highway with him. He’ll brutally barrel
through any traffic tie-up – he’d even roll over a baby carriage if it were
in his way. He doesn’t care – he knows nothing on wheels can survive a collision
with him, except, perhaps, Autobot Leader Optimus Prime – and Motormaster would
give you an argument on that. In fact, he looks forward to that very confrontation
so he can destroy Optimus and claim, without reservation, he is “King of
the Road.” His Stunticon followers tremble before his commands, which he
gives with a thundering voice that has the hollow, doom-laden tone of an echo
from a bottomless well. They hate him, but they fear him too much to disobey
him.

Abilities: In truck mode, Motormaster is virtually unstoppable. At his
top speed of 140 mph, he can ram a 20 foot-thick block of concrete and crumble
it without cracking a headlight. In robot mode, he has enormous strength and
carries an atom-smasher cannon, which shoots a high-energy beam of protons that
can shred all but the densest materials. He combines with his fellow Stunticons
to form the giant robot Menasor.

Weaknesses: Other than being highly fuel-consumptive, Motormaster has
no known weaknesses.
