Rounding off the Combiner Wars Stunticons, here is their leader, the malevolent
Motormaster! Motormaster is an extensive remolding of Combiner Wars Voyager Optimus Prime, to the point that most of his upper body / front of truck has been redone.
Like Optimus Prime, Motormaster is a stocky figure, with solid articulation. The brawny build works for the character, in our opinion, and the remolding keeps him from being "just" a grey Optimus Prime. He's got new weapons - a blade and a blaster - which merge into a larger sword. What we particularly like is the reworking of the Menasor form chest cavity, which features something which just might be inspired by Age of Extinction Galvatron molded in the space occupied by Blackjack when Menasor is fully combined.
Overall, Motormaster is another solid offering in the Combiner Wars lineup. He's brawny and powerful, and has the right kind of commanding aura when displayed with the other Stunticons. Check him out and see what you think:

Transformers garage kit accessory manufacturer
Renderform have recently celebrated their fifth anniversary, and in doing so, have revealed a whole slew of new releases.
Chief among these are two different heads for Combiner Wars Menasor - Road Shogun, a samurai themed head based on a combination of designer Venksta's own thoughts and the Generation 1 designs by Studio Ox, and Road Bandit, a more Generation 1 cartoon inspired version. All three are being done with a choice of light-piped or painted eyes, and three different expressions.
The Combiner Wars Stunticons are also the subject of five new weapon accessories, based on the guns used by the Stunticons for their Generation 1 toys.
Beyond this there is also a full on garage kit for the Prime Thundertron family of molds to give it a more Optimus Prime inspired head; limited run new versions of popular sword weapons Banshee Blade and Fury Blade; a limited second run on the Generation 1 themed Jetfire air rifle; and going back to where we started, a Menasor head - though this one is a prototype for an unmade Animated Menasor set, and is a nice bust to display with your Botcon 2011 figures.
Check out all the latest Renderform releases on the Renderform homepage.

We're back with another gallery of the Combiner Wars Stunticons, and this time, we're looking at the smallest member of the group,
Blackjack! Blackjack is a double homage - he's named for and based on a Generation 1 Micromaster, but in his role as the chest of Menasor, he also references the black drone car that came with the original Motormaster.
Blackjack is a cool little toy. He's got a decent amount of articulation, including a neck and ball-jointed knees, which we do not see often in the smaller toys. The transformation is decent, though nothing particularly outstanding or new, and keeping with the melee theme of the Stunticons, Blackjack comes with an axe which can be mounted on the rear of the vehicle to provide a spoiler.
Overall, Blackjack is a nice little figure, and a great complement to the Stunticon set. Check out our gallery to see more of this Classics Micromaster:
