Works for me. I was hoping that was the mold being used for him.

worn out on the Lockdown mold. Glad it will make some happy though.
Fingers uber crossed for Wreck-Gar to be Motormaster.
Blurr, Swindle, Starscream hopefully will be used in the side sets.

This is exactly what I thought!!! Lockdown as Dragstrip and her as Wildrider. This kind of lets me down a bit, but I want to see the others first. If they use Lockdown as Wildrider, then I'm passing- and I'll bet that's what's going to happen....

Six Stunticons? Derrick J. Wyatt just updated his
Twitter feed with another Botcon Stunticon tidbit.
@BotCon Technically there are SIX members in Motormaster's Stunt Convoy. I suppose if they are all truly Stunticons or not is debatable.
Earlier today we learned from the
Botcon Twitter account that this week's reveal would be Wildrider, using the Animated Lockdown mold with a newly molded head! Who could this mysterious pseudo-Stunticon be, debate away in the Energon Pub!

Maybe...MENASOR?!
In Key to Vector Sigma, Op implied that Superion counted towards a total of six Aerialbots, making it logical that if there is a way to combine these guys, this could be a hint.
If not, then either G2 Breakdown or a Battlecharger. I dunno.

im all for wreck gar and all but, it new heads where ####mold and ####2 mold, meaning they might reuse a mold like if optimus is motormaster he will be menasor with a different head and colors. O r at least I hope so...

I’m sensing a combiner kibble transformer, well it was a thought of my TF story line much like headmaster’s targetmasters and powermasters I called them diacons a single robot that can turn in to the parts that keep the combiners together, but the combiners cannot combine without the diacon so they need the diacons to combine.

IF, and that's a very big IF, they actually can get them to combine, then I might be interested in the set.
But otherwise ... meh.

This is just a guess, but I'm wondering if the sixth bot could maybe be Bugbite.

Good call.
Were it up to me, I would have saved the Arcee mold for the 6th Stunticon, and painted her as Crasher/Fracture.

My theory is that the clone car, who served as the chest piece for Menasor, may very well be getting his own persona and transformation.

Have a question for those who have TFA Voyager class Prime...How tough would it be, or how plausible, to attach a 2-way plastic clip to his arms and legs for allowing faux limbs to attach. I'm thinking that he's what will be used for Menasors body and that they've found a simple way to make the other units just slip on rather than spend money re-tooling the whole set. A sixth member, likely something small, may attach to the waist or chest to help provide camouflage but I wouldn't expect anything big for a 6th member and I don't think they are counting the Gestalt mode.
I could be so far out in left-field it's not even funny. I know exactly squat about the TFA figures but I do have to admit that the thought of a TFA Menasor does raise my interest quite a bit so I thought I would add my bit to the brainstorming process.

OFFENSIVE!

So if there is a sixth boxset member, you can definitely rule out anything bigger than a voyager for Motormaster. I'm thinking it's staying a 5 figure box though.
