@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!

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.

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

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.

Just my personal theory but i remember a while back seeing that hasbro was planning a bumblebee redeco as fugitive waspinator. Correct if im wrong but that kinda fell to the wayside so my guess would be
Fugitive Waspinator with new head mold obviously. Which is more than we would have got via the animated line. And I know "he's not a stunticon" blah blah blah. They dont have a bee mold and it could easily be a stunticon.

as for the mystery 6th...
it depends on the scale but looking at what we have mold wise that's not used and an additional remolded head
my I wish...
Menasor using Ultra Magnus the limbs could have character decos to simulate the gestalt while hidden and avoiding color clash vehicle mode
but... too big to really be in the set
Wasp using BB, simple head resculpt, cannon tie in character
but... kinda weaksauce for uber secret 6th
Cy-Kill using Oilslick, outside the box, fanboish
but... really Go-Bots
Nightracer using Blurr, yeah... going there the second botcon exclusive get's an update
but... to many ties to the old guard

I like it.
don't think or look at it too long though
Pink hair, tanktop, daisy dukes wearin... DRAG STRIP all I see is Poison from StreetFighter/FinalFight in all her/his glory

After hearing that there would be a 6th Stunticon. My first thought was we'll get the standard Stunticons and then I really thought we would get a Lockdown repaint (due to his size in Robot mode) and they would call him Menasaur.
Now that we know we're getting Lockdown as Wildrider I am guessing that the same thing will happen but I can see Menasaur being a repaint of Ultra Magnus.

And for the mystery Stunticon, I want the Blurr mold as SPASTIC !!!!!

Just a thought, the 6xth Sunticon may be the Attendee Exclusive. Breakdown number 5, in G2 colors?

That looks a LOT like Lockdown. I know...same mold and all, but I expected a radically different head.
We know Motormaster is next, betcha it's Voyager Prime.
Also, betcha we get a Toxitron redeco out of that.

Well, the wait is over. In a series of tweets and Facebook posts, the Club has revealed Wild Rider, including a closeup of the all new head:

Wildrider's alt mode is quite appropriate, but this head sculpt just does not do the job.
For the first thing, it looks like Lockdown or at least it isn't any different than Lockdown. For another thing, shouldn't that pinkish-purple be out and out red?
I betcha there's something cute in the comic where Wildrider takes the engine/EMP off of Ironfist or the Autotroopers or something...

I wouldn't say it is crap with no black. But, yes, a darker shade would have looked better.

Also, I find it rather amusing that after everyone guessed at Wreck-Gar for Motormaster on the earlier pages, I go and pose a qauestion about the set involving Voyager Prime 3 pages back and now folks are guessing Voyager Prime. The worst part of it is that NOBODY bothered to answer my question. Meh, doesn't matter anyways. I won't be going to BotCon and after seeing this most recent reveal, I don't hold much hope for this set turning out well anyways.

I'm telling you with 100% certainty that these toys will not combine.

I happen to really like the head, it has personality. G1 Wildrider was a mad driver in every sense of the word, and that's reflected in that maniacal nuggin of Animated Wildrider. Really reminds me of Blitzwing's crazy head.

Right? Look, I love any nod to G1, but this "Wildrider" is more like a Passion Fruit Lockdown, than a Wildrider.

Wildrider isn't all that special. I even pulled out my Lockdown figure just so I could confirm a different head. That's how similar they looked. It wasn't until I actually stared at the thing that I realized it had a Blitzwing thing going on. Wildrider is more like Blitzwing's brother in Animated now.
I get the feeling that Motormaster is going to be the saving grace of this set. I'm hoping it uses the Voyager Prime mold so I cann start working on making the combiner upgrade pack.
Would anyone be interested if I were to make an accessory pack to get these figures to combine?
It's still up in the air as to whether or not I'll even be able to go to Botcon this year. The next few weeks will determine that. Finances are finally getting stable in my family so I might have some luck. If not, I'll hunt these down on ebay and get ready for 2012.
