      Sort of. If you spend time thinking about it, they'd be forced into reconnaissance work on Earth. Decepticon jets wouldn't be able to fly without being detected by humans or Autobots, so to gather info on where Autobot bases are, they'd need a ground force. The Stunticons are pretty much all they have.

      Since Optimus has already beaten him, it would be better to see Nemesis Prime starting a rivalry with Motor master, both are Black trucks, and they are to outlaws, Motormaster is no necessarily fond of obeying Megatron, Nemesis Prime has no Faction, but Unicron may be his master depending on the continuity or origin. So two evil rebel dudes how don´t care about anything but winning, destroying each other sounds awesome.

The Aerialbots, Protectobots, and Combaticons all have enemity with this group.

      HypercatZ bro I don’t care about the G1 cartoon’s lore, that show was only charm really. I’m talking about Transformers as a whole, because news flash the G1 cartoon adaptation isn’t god when it comes to lore. I much prefer the biological stuff in IDW (00s or 19) because it makes transformers human. It makes them have actual choice and morals, it questions if the Autobot cause is better for Cybertron, if Decepticons are actually better rather than having Decepticons be all villainous and Autobots all good.

    it's kinda sad that the Stunticons (as well as combiners as a whole) is often over looked or their character traits changed over the years, back then I remember going like "on crap it's the Stunticons, let's hope they fight each other so they'll be easier to defeat"

      Actually, the most dangerous combiners are the ones whose components get along with each other. The G1 Predacons are arguably more dangerous than any other Decepticon combiner team because all of them agree on one thing: hunting. This means that their combined mode Predaking is a synergised, mentally stable individual greater than the sum of their parts, which should be the goal of combiners anyway.
      Menasor essentially has to fight himself in order to get all of his components in line in order to fight as Menasor, which makes him more of a liability than anything else. The stunticons are an example of how not to be a combiner IMO.

      @@casuallatecomer7597 to the original comment’s credit , if you take all of the Menasor stories in aggregate, he’s always the combiner that’s most indestructible and most prone to defeat other combiners. It took Prime combining with other Autobots (arguably some of the strongest like Prowl) just to defeat a Menasor that had already beaten Devastator, Superion, and Defensor. Then in that other story it took Omega Supreme to help defeat Menasor. So, while he can be unstable he is clearly a VERY dangerous threat.

    • @grimlock2104
      @grimlock2104 2 роки тому +6

      Although you have a point, at least Menasor can take orders from Megatron (if reluctantly). Volcanicus is little more than a rampaging beast, running purely on instinct and Almost unable to differentiate friend from foe. That’s why we Dinobots rarely ever combine, to avoid collateral damage.

    I hated RID Stunticons. They were great until they were just done away with in an instant. They should have had more time as Menasor. And even as Menasor they were too unstable to be a threat.
    In short my pros/cons of RID Stunticons
    Pros:
    They could combine in pairs
    Brought Menasor back into the spotlight
    Made a good recurring cast of villains for a series called “Combiner Force”
    Cons:
    A lot of build up without a fitting climax
    Menasor was too unstable they could fall apart if any bot got too scared
    They were too short lived and were replaced by the non-combiner Soundwave and then Galvatronus as the big bad for the series finale

    If not for my beloved (loathed?) Constructicons, the Stunticons would be my favourite combiner team, with Dead End as my fave member. (Swindle volunteering Dead End to potentially poison himself in "Five Faces Of Darkness" was PRIME!)
    "Trans-Europe Express" was a top ten episode: aside from Motormaster crushing poor Wheeljack, and how Sideswipe & Sunstreaker were taken out, I always loved how Smokescreen SAW Wildrider approaching, stated his name, but did NOTHING to stop him from crashing into him. (And Drag Strip got a crunch in, too!) 😂
    And on the subject, Bluestreak, Tracks, and Bumblebee deserve "Autobots Of The Milennia" awards for taking on Megatron, Soundwave, Rumble, the Constructicons, AND the Stunticons!! 🏆🏆🏆
