But in his robot mode, Razorclaw, as Rodimus has stated in his first post, is faster and more agile. It's feasible, that during a fight, the Predacon commander would land more accurate and powerful strikes, whereas Motormaster's sheer brutality would lead him to just come out swingin'.
The Stunticon leader can't make practical use out of his truck mode, really. It's not all that manoeuvrable, and I doubt he'd be able to accelerate at a high speed sufficient enough to ram into the agile Predacon.
You seem to be making a lot of unfounded assumptions here.
There is nothing, I repeat, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in Razorclaws bio about his speed or agility in robot mode.Theres just no indication that Razorclaw is any more or less "faster or agile" then the average TF.
Furthermore, there is nothing, I repeat, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in Motomasters bio that even remotely suggest hes slow and bulkie in robot mode.Theres nothing to suggest he's any less "faster or agile" then the average TF either.
I don't think they're really unfounded assumptions, but moreso possibilities. Sure, we may not have concrete evidence to support these assumptions all the time, but I think we all have a good idea how the TF's are, based on what we've been given (profiles, cartoons, comics).
Perhaps Razorclaw's agility is a reflection of his lion alt-form? Lions can burst at high speeds over a short distance. And while chasing their prey, they need to be quick and strong to bring it down, seize their prey, and inflict the fatal bite. Perhaps those instinctive, natural and predatory movements were intergrated into Razorclaw's spark? It's just a wild idea/theory I have, so don't go nuts over it.

As I said before any rating of courage of 6 band above negates the possibility of the character running away.
Further more theres nothing in MM's bio that even remotely suggests that he would ever run.
I agree with this.
Only one point is the difference. And given their courage reaches the highest levels, there's no evidence to even suggest that Motormaster would hightail it. Courage of that level is too high for that to consider.
I mean, Motormaster looks like the guy who would give out severe beatings. The lesser and weaker 'Cons would run away from him.

Not exactly.It really depends because its subjective.A 10 in courage can be a liability in some cases.
Oh, absolutely.
An individual with 10 courage will appear to be fearless, but is it really an advantage? I don't think a fearless opponent knows when to make a critical retreat when it's needed (unless the individual exhibits a certain degree of intelligence), and that could path the way to his eventual death. Fearlessness can lead to stubbornness, I reckon. Well, that's my take on it anyway.

I know they are for fun...........for me part of the fun is in presenting a well thought out and logical argument.
Sorry, mate, but you don't sound like you're having fun at all. You do sound a tad too serious.
