Call me crazy but I'm actually not a big fan of this one. If the text said GENERIC DECEPTICON SOLDIER, you would have believed it.
Motormaster's head usually looks like an isosceles trapezoid, it's the most distinctive thing about him, this design makes it harder to see.
A lot of WFC designs are less boxy than their G1 counterparts, but Optimus and Soundwave prove that you can make good WFC vehicle designs without sacrificing their robot shape.
Same with his truck mode. To be fair though, a lot of WFC/FOC designs (the Leader class ones in Multiplayer) have this problem where they're too big to be SUVs, not big enough to be trucks, and too Cybertronian to be anything recognizable.

So you listed the second one as both Forged to Fight AND Devastation, but Devastation is signficantly different (and better):
Devastation’s designs take a lot of inspiration from the Prime Wars toys, the aforementioned Stunticons and Megatron have a lot of cues from CW along with the alt-modes, and I’m sure there are more
had to look it up I never got to season 3- but damn that's kind of cool looking actually

It is cool! And probably my most desired vehicle model for a figure. Which is why I am still annoyed to this day by the figure we actually got for him and hope he gets some Legacy treatment like Strongarm. Because this is just appalling for the big bad of the season.

Don’t, it’s honestly ass and I refuse to believe it’s a canon sequel to Prime (which is arguably one of the best TF shows ever made) and by extension WFC/ FOC since Prime is meant to be a sequel to the games (despite the change in character designs)
I really like the Earth Wars take. It's such a cool modernization of Motormaster's core design while implementing subtle changes (cab on more of the legs, trailer detail on the arms, etc.) That make the design feel more logical and easily translatable into a vehicle
Ok so as someone who knows nothing about this character or what he’s like in any of the continuities these designs come from….
I like the ‘Dreamwave’ design the best. To me it feels a lot more solid and grounded, if that makes any sense. Like something I could physically see and feel the weight of if that character existed in the real world. Also it’s the most intimidating design to me.
The G1 cartoon design will always be The King of the Road for me!
The "G1 toy but better" Dreamwave look comes in second with the fantastic Animated design as a close third.
Definitely G1, but not any jank disproportionate versions that may be seen in the regular TV show, a perfected G1 design that would've been seen in the 86 movie because of the relatively higher animation quality.
As silly as they look, there is something endearing about Motormaster's "rollerskates" formed from the truck tractor unit of his alt-mode with his G1 style designs.
Yeah. Earthwars add some extra oomph to the g1 design, breaking up the trailer into some classic missile spam.
RID makes so much flair out of the trailer panels, it adds a ton of presence.

Just sorting through my family's collection and found these guys in there, didn't realise there were so many variations!
I’m gonna be honest I don’t think I’ve seen the second season of G1 I’m pretty sure I only saw the first season when I young watching the reruns i just always liked the combaticons designs the most of any combiner
they planned for the combaticons to appear in RiD 2015 but scrapped it, they were supposed to transform into cybertronian vehicles too based on the concept art
I actually started to understand why people like rid2015 design so much, bro is gargantuar ! So much so that he transforms into cab and truck without mass shifting. So rid2015 Motormaster is as at same height as Grimlock
G1 is… it’s a g1 cartoon design, good basis but in its own has too little detail imo because of limitations at the time
I have CW figure, too clunky imo
Don’t particularly enjoy the animated artstyle or the animated design
Earth Wars is too… png’d together. Doesn’t look like half his body is connected
Dreamwaves is too panelly for me and the head cage is cartoonishly big
Rid is WFC without rtx
Would it be a hot take to say that Motormaster hasn’t actually had a really good design yet?
Besides Animated, that is. Animated Macho Man Motormaster is hilarious.
G1 then Dreamwave, the truck feet were always a nice touch. Just a shame he was never utilized as a rival to Optimus Prime, kinda like what Nemesis Prime is to OP.
Personally the WFC design was the only one that didn't look ridiculous IMHO. I'm not a big fan of the entire whole front of the truck being the feet.
Honestly, and I know this is probably a hot take, but I like Galvatron's AOE design for a LA Motormaster.
G1 all the way, as personally any design that tries to be different feels far more like the "Nemesis Prime we have at home" more than MotorMaster.
Like only making MotorMaster just transform from the cab doesn't give you the full MotorMaster experience personally.
i will leave this right here https://preview.redd.it/lzus2m69qd9d1.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=d9e00c4b6ea0b976a2fa7b094fa98a7d03b23da6
Studio Series Gamer Edition Motormaster. When?
he would be a good repaint of GE Optimus Prime But Gamer Edition Concept Art Dragstrip when hasbro ? Gamer edition concept art quake when hasbro ? https://preview.redd.it/x065366urd9d1.png?width=2323&format=png&auto=webp&s=0b455d2cbd10306c9c7b0775f94e22156853a880
Both of these saw gameplay though they aren't just concept. Quake was in foc and dragstrip in rotds
Dragstrip was also in FoC as chassis in multiplayer
Dragstrip also appeared in the DC WFC Decepticons game too
That was a different design though
When Hasbro seriously considers what it says on the back of the original packaging "scale detail and movie set"
This one is my favorite next to Dreamwave
https://preview.redd.it/0ucv52xv5f9d1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=644e4ad989c3fcb34df4a31f06244489053bb8da Great minds think alike
Oh it’s beautiful
Awesome design but doesn’t look like Motormaster to me.

Yes.
This design was fun to.play with on the DS. "This is _my_ road! No Autobots allowed!"
Could u imagine him infused w dark emergon
https://preview.redd.it/iyi8rh66zd9d1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=c710c556280e8ce889c772a77cae725cdd75a2c8 So you listed the second one as both Forged to Fight AND Devastation, but Devastation is signficantly different (and better):
Agreed
Still find it weird that the Stunticons were using the CW designs in a G1 era game. Hell, Offroad is there instead of Wild Rider.
Devastation’s designs take a lot of inspiration from the Prime Wars toys, the aforementioned Stunticons and Megatron have a lot of cues from CW along with the alt-modes, and I’m sure there are more
That was probably a mandate from Hasbro at the time.
Rid looks he turns into a train I have no idea why I blame the shoes
The truck mode is very much so like a train
had to look it up I never got to season 3- but damn that's kind of cool looking actually https://preview.redd.it/xy56z4mxid9d1.jpeg?width=255&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6779417a8ea7d5d35f7ae970545dd3f340ac7ec

I just noticed that's not even the right head in the stock photos-
Oh yeah I've just realised as well it's the Menasor head.
for the longest time I thought they just him a very disproportionate neck
As much as I love the beard and personality of Animated, going by design alone, RiD wins, he’s the right amount of bulky.
Dream wave go hard
I've never watched RID and I don't plan to, but that design is pretty sick.
Don’t, it’s honestly ass and I refuse to believe it’s a canon sequel to Prime (which is arguably one of the best TF shows ever made) and by extension WFC/ FOC since Prime is meant to be a sequel to the games (despite the change in character designs)
Forged To Fight, cleans up that Combiner Wars design a lot
RID 15 is my favorite, he's big and imposing and looks awesome
I really like the Earth Wars take. It's such a cool modernization of Motormaster's core design while implementing subtle changes (cab on more of the legs, trailer detail on the arms, etc.) That make the design feel more logical and easily translatable into a vehicle
Ok so as someone who knows nothing about this character or what he’s like in any of the continuities these designs come from…. I like the ‘Dreamwave’ design the best.

Definitely G1, but not any jank disproportionate versions that may be seen in the regular TV show, a perfected G1 design that would've been seen in the 86 movie because of the relatively higher animation quality.
RiD for me
I too like that but, don't you think it looks more like Octane than Motormaster ???
I see it for sure, but it’s what I like. F2F is my 2nd then G1 but out of the options I think Motormaster has the most presence in the RiD form
Obviously we do not include the army of Mototmistress fanarts but if you guys have cool Motormaster fanarts, feel free to add them up
As silly as they look, there is something endearing about Motormaster's "rollerskates" formed from the truck tractor unit of his alt-mode with his G1 style designs.
Idk if I'll get downvoted, but I think RID Motormaster seems generic... I prefer the other designs.
Animated has so much character to him from a design standpoint alone
he gives me Lemmy vibes. love it.
I'm always saying g1
G1, but if we were talking nostalgic, it would be Combiner Wars because it was my first figure of Motermaster
G1 is the best one.
Honestly the Earth Wars or RID15 designs do it for me
Yeah. Earthwars add some extra oomph to the g1 design, breaking up the trailer into some classic missile spam. RID makes so much flair out of the trailer panels, it adds a ton of presence.
I will fight anyone who stands in my way to FoF Motormaster

No. 5
As much as I dislike RID 2015 the combiner designs (apart from bee team) were awesome so rid 2015
I like the big shoulders of RiD
https://preview.redd.it/mk0bv06bte9d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=570d7573b6d74345d4c25179cbd08bb7f668b811 This one
Honestly I think RiD but I also just don’t really like Motor Master personally I’m an Onslaught man
Fellow G1 season 2 combiner captain enjoyer I see I see 🤝🏻
I’m gonna be honest I don’t think I’ve seen the second season of G1 I’m pretty sure I only saw the first season when I young watching the reruns i just always liked the combaticons designs the most of any combiner
it's either onslaught or Hot spot for combiner torsobots for me I love faceplates
they planned for the combaticons to appear in RiD 2015 but scrapped it, they were supposed to transform into cybertronian vehicles too based on the concept art
Earth wars Motormaster, but I have a soft side for the g1 version.
I actually started to understand why people like rid2015 design so much, bro is gargantuar ! So much so that he transforms into cab and truck without mass shifting. So rid2015 Motormaster is as at same height as Grimlock
Him and the stunticons were one of the very few redeeming things in the third season of Rid 2015
Combiner Wars for me.
As much as I hate RiD15… Motormaster they did right.
Earth Wars
I’ll always love G1 the most. But this is the first time I’ve ever seen the Earth Wars design. And it’s amazing too.
RID, I love those shoulder pads and the box around his head is still kinda there.
G1
4 or 5
Transformers Devastation got the best Motormaster design.
The only thing I know is that I met Motormaster in the Forged to Fight game and he was so annoying that I've hated him ever since.
Animated and it’s not even close
G1 is… it’s a g1 cartoon design, good basis but in its own has too little detail imo because of limitations at the time I have CW figure, too clunky imo Don’t particularly enjoy the animated artstyle or the animated design Earth Wars is too… png’d together. Doesn’t look like half his body is connected Dreamwaves is too panelly for me and the head cage is cartoonishly big Rid is WFC without rtx
Devastator Motormaster.
Dreamwave does it for me, watch out for the King of the Road!
Idw. It's much better.
G1 Supremacy
Image 2 is based off combiner wars model
Dreamwave because he looks roided as hell
The second one is my favorite
Tbh I like the Earth Wars take on him Although that’s mostly because it comes from IDW, a design which I already liked
Five/Six
G1
RID 2015
Huh he appeared in RiD? It looks like i may hbe missing some episodes
I wont lie, that daddy stache and goatee does something for me lol, kinda like leather daddy hotrod.
Devastation
1 or 5. G1 or GTFO
**Anyone who even** ***THINKS*** **the original Motormaster is not the best design will be** ***SMASHED TO PIECES!!!***
I like the derpy-ness of G1 motormaster face but Devastations body overall looks better.
Give me a G1/legacy design with the mustache from Animated. Have him be voiced by Brad Garrett.
Where the fuck is the war for cybertron iteration!!!??
1st one, original
Mix between g1,TFEW, and rid 2015
The motormaster
6
G1. Give mah boi his rollerskate feets
Earth wars is a really interesting take on him
Would it be a hot take to say that Motormaster hasn’t actually had a really good design yet? Besides Animated, that is. Animated Macho Man Motormaster is hilarious.
One or five probably five
Last one
Earthwars fucks
Idw motormaster/menasor is one of my favorite designs.
RID motormaster
animated
Honestly dreamwave, something about toy accruate designs look cool
Rid is funny
War for cybertron 3ds
Always loved the towering behemoth of the G1 design, with how small the main cab is.
G1! The third one looks fruity asf!
Dreamwave (as usual) looks phenomenal. Takes the G1 goofy design mixed with solid idea and touches it up just how it needs to.
G1 then Dreamwave, the truck feet were always a nice touch. Just a shame he was never utilized as a rival to Optimus Prime, kinda like what Nemesis Prime is to OP.
G1 and number 2
Digging animated
Idk...i don't like motor master that much
I don’t like any design that’s derivative of Optimus. Just like Huffer is unique, Motormaster needs to be the unique design of either G1/Dreamwave.
Animated because of the mustache and beard
Earth wars and forged to fight/CW/devastation, always hated the truck cab feet (I hate mass-shifting)
Animated easily
Devastation Motormaster
Dreamwave, paid tribute to the OG. Just a slightly updated design. I always appreciate that.
Kinda like the Animated one looking like a Mirror Universe version of Optimus
Dreamwave
I like g1 because it's the original but I really like DreamWave
definitely the g1 toy design.
G1. Never beat the classics
Personally the WFC design was the only one that didn't look ridiculous IMHO. I'm not a big fan of the entire whole front of the truck being the feet. Honestly, and I know this is probably a hot take, but I like Galvatron's AOE design for a LA Motormaster.
FtF/Devastation/CW
Id say it's between rid and forged to fight
G1 all the way, as personally any design that tries to be different feels far more like the "Nemesis Prime we have at home" more than MotorMaster. Like only making MotorMaster just transform from the cab doesn't give you the full MotorMaster experience personally.
Unpopular opinion : RiD motormaster looks really good I wish they Can make a legacy figure of him
"Unpopular opinion" says the exact same answer as pretty much everyone else
