I would totally buy it if was "motormaster" with proper headsculpt, not just repaint.
Yeah, its so rare we get a mold where the trailer is part of the robot these days that Motormaster would be a perfect Oppotrunity.
So, VA'AL:

Strongarm has big back kibble, but any other takes on her?
Jazz? Drift? Steeljaw?
The best is Drift for the simplicity but beauty of the transformation. It is perfect. The way the chest forms is so smart in a super simple way. And that alt mode is insane! He will be on a few best of lists.
Scott was right actually, the really cool thing with these is the alt modes, they are top notch. It's a very underrated line, with new characters and new designs.
The rest after Drift are all itneresting but deeply flawed. Here are quick reviews:
Steeljaw: amazing concept with the most complex transformation for a deluxe out right now on the shelves and great alt mode. The flaw is in his very thin arms and overly cumbersome kibble.
Sideswipe: he is probably the RID toy I like transforming best. This is on a new level of clever with really smart double purpose kibble that flips around depending on the mode. It also has a nice lean look in comparison to the rest. But of course, you cant play with it well since the chest wont peg together and posing him becomes a really sore point.
Strong Arm: her backpack is the leat of your worries and I actually think thats her best attribute. Simply because it isnt a backpack. It's a smart use of a shellformer by turning the shell into it's back and giving it wings (like movie bumblebee). My problem with it is its oversimplification and the really ugly forearms.
Bumblebee: I am not as big a fan of this guy as Kanrabat is but I will say that it is a nice fun toy. Nice in both modes but the robot mode suffers from a lack of posability due to the cumbersome enormous shoulders.
And the Warrior Class Optimus toy is garbage for the most part. It has everything I hate in transformers: fake kibble (for the chest), overly simple transformation devoid of wit, and really obvious robot parts in alt mode:
