Motormaster looks a lot like Lemmy from Motorhead.

The only Motormaster you need is the Ace of Spades.

Not in the boxset, but most likely it's the Attendee Exclusive. I call Breakdown in G2 deco.

Individually the Stunticons are not very impressive, but altogether, they look like they will actually end up being a pretty cool set. I'm thinking about getting a loose set so when I make the combiner add-on, I can display them altogether.

I think I will enjoy owning these.

Yeah, I'd say that it would be an Attendee Exclusive. I also agree it is most likely Breakdown in is G2 colors.

This is exactly what we take in to consideration when we worked out the box set. When displayed together, in both robot and vehicle mode, the 5 of these guys (and gal) are all perfect for each other.

Dead End wrote:I collapse to the oil stained floor of the garage, cracked and crumbled from the attack’s barrage
the throbbing tormenting boredom of this existence, spans unrelenting into infinite distance
painful longing to return to dust, we are all just food for rust.

The end.

If this set could combine, I'd be interested in buying them.

It would be my first Botcon set. Probably my only one.

I still don't care for Motormaster's head, though.

Is there a point you're trying to make with this post? I mean, outside of trolling?

Does this get you more excited for BotCon 2011? Will we see more characterization of the other four members of the Stunticons?

Dead End has spent many years looking for the six fingered man that designed his Botcon self. He's getting close. So close that he's almost ready to shave.

And yes, Skybyte is the greatest poet of the Transformers! No one can stop him or his theme song!

BotCon 2011 brings back Transformers Animated for one more adventure!

Fort Worth, TX - March 7th, 2011 - Fun Publications, Inc, licensee for Hasbro’s Official Transformers Collectors Convention "BotCon", is pleased to announce that BotCon 2011 will feature an ALL-NEW Transformers Animated story! Tying in to the theme of this years Animated Stunticon Convention set, this special one-shot story (dubbed Season 3.5) is written by Marty Isenberg, Story Editor for the critically acclaimed Transformers Animated cartoon series.

The last time fans saw Optimus Prime and his crew from Animated, the Autobots had captured Megatron and had returned him and his minions to Cybertron. With Cybertronians finally able to relax, focus has turned from the fears of war back towards some of the recreational events their planet has to offer. And the next big thing has just rolled into town; The Motormaster and his traveling Stunt Convoy! But are these mysterious robots here to put on a show or are they planning a real demolition derby?
BotCon 2011 is being held in Pasadena, Ca from June 2nd - June 5th. Collectors and fans of all ages can register for the show this March when online registration begins. There are different registration packages available, the most popular being the Primus package, which includes an exclusive 5-piece convention set featuring toys of the Animated Stunticons! Each Primus package also comes with Transformers Timelines Issue 6 featuring the Transformers Animated "Season 3.5" story.
