Re-rendered this so it doesnt look awful anymore but anyway!!!! They're a family wahooo!!

IS DONE

I LOVE THIS QUESTION! Okay, let's start from the beginning…

I read all Stunticons' descriptions on Tfwiki, and even translated them into my language in my shitpost for my convenience.

So, Offroad… HE ANNOYS ME A BIT. I mean, he's essentially Wildrider's replacement, and I can't stand that.

In the idw comics, Stunticons were really depressed about Wildrider's departure, and Offroad "so conveniently" took his place. Judging by the description, other Stunticons find him annoying too, especially considering that he "mimics his predecessor's color scheme." Nevertheless, I think he fits well with their team. And, for example, in Ask, my story will also revolve around Wildrider's return, and he somehow needed to resolve his conflict with Offroad. But he's very much a Stunticon! And overall, it really suits them that at least one of the sportcars should be massive enough to go all-out (well, besides Motormaster, BUT HE'S HUGE!) I think Offroad was the only one who actually wanted to join Stunticons of his own free will, because he's pretty badass himself xD I like that he likes chainsaws I think I'll end up making him Menasor's thighs (like, like a leg, but not as obvious)

BLACKJACK IS COOL Well, we bullied him a bit in my first roleplay, but I kind of even warmed to him. He's smart! Even though in IDW they made him a cop sent to spy on Stunts… well, he'll still end up with them) Something along the lines of "since you committed a crime, now you're on our side))" and he simply won't have a choice. Overall… Overall, I like that he's a cute accessory on Menasor's chest. And I also really like that he's a speedster, just WITH A SMALLER ALTMOD FOR SOME REASON (he's actually like a minicon in G1). I think he could guide Stunticons quite well. If Motormaster is the leader, and Drag Strip is his right-hand man, then Blackjack could become something like a navigator.

And the rest of the trio… Damn. I have a complicated relationship with Rid2015. I'm slowly watching it with friends, mostly for the memes and rofls, but I can't take it seriously. Especially because that I myself have a VERY big contradiction

I SINCERELY LIKE THE HEADCANONS ABOUT WILDBREAK'S BABY OF TFP KNOCKOUT AND BREAKDOWN but I don't like any pairings with a member of the Gestalt and someone from outside of it Gestalt is a more personal, deeper thing, and when someone else touches it… no, I can't do that I'm not against KOBD or Breakbee with Stunticons, I generally consume any content, but… would that be in my headcanons? No for me, Breakdown from TFP and Breakdown Stunticon are two different characters, in any universe (as shown in IDW… which I don't really respect, because they simply removed Stunticons from the story and added new kobd on top. YEAH, AND THEY KEPT BRUTICUS AND DEVASTATOR AND EVEN GAVE THEIR COMPONENTS A FULL DISCLOSURE- okay, we're not talking about IDW now)

So now I'll tell you about my SHARED headcanons with a friend, because he likes kobd with Stunticons, and I had fun coming up with memes.

Wildbreak is the child of Knockout and Breakdown (Break will be revived later… somehow… honestly).

Stunticons existed before, but something happened that separated them, and Motormaster ended up with Drag Strip. At some point after the war, they decided to try to get the team back together, but things were complicated with Break, with Wild and Dead missing… but word came out that Break had a child. So Motormaster personally went to Knockout and asked him to take Wildbreak "for fostering" and all that. It certainly looked more like a kidnapping, because KO definitely didn't want to give his child to Motormaster (he'd heard, thank you), but the kid himself was VERY EXCITED BY THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE A REAL BANDIT. Considering Knockout is a defector, things are pretty tense with him, so… OVERALL, YOU COULD SAY THAT DRAG AND MOTOR STOLE THE CHILD

just like the other two… PRIMUS, if Heatseeker and Slashmark had different models, that would be so cool… Seriously, I was able to tell them apart and remember their names only after seeing their abilities a few times. By the way, that's also an interesting thing. I generally liked it in the rid, so all Stunticons had it (for example, Wildbreak's destructive vibrations came from Breakdown; Wildrider had ejectable spikes; Dead End had a killer radar). Motor and Drag found them (in a trash heap) SOMEWHERE IN ZAZHOPINSK, aka in some back alley or something. These two were probably already problematic, so convincing them to form a group wasn't all that difficult.

Well… it was difficult to Menasor. He's much more conflicted and less cohesive than he was with real Stunticons. He doesn't feel that gestalt connection, which is why they constantly argue, which is why they rarely manage to form him. The headcanon is that when other Stunts can get together, Menasor will finally be able to breathe freely and be himself, without what he considers unnecessary appendages. Slashmark and Heatseeker will take it easy, because they're quite comfortable being duobots and forming… Heatmark? I think that's his name. But Menasor has a warmer relationship with Wildbreak, because he had a more or less functional connection with him. But I don't think he'll be upset; it's quite difficult for him to be in a combination. Especially considering that when he teamed up with Drag, he gave him complete control.

I ALSO JUST REMEMBERED THAT I DRAW SOME DESIGNS FOR RID 2015 ьеьеьеьеьььь

Jokes aside I do really like your drawings of the RID 2015 characters, hope to see more (but don't rush yourself sorry if it seems like I'm putting pressure on you, I'm not trying to).

Here, well more like the upper half of their bodies is that okay?

SEX MAKES BABIES!?

Heatseeker! Show some decorum! (is internally freaking tf out)

@ask-the-neo-stunticons

Oh hey it's another message from tiny me!

Ah it's come back has it? What does it want this time.

Slashmark that is Wildbreak. Can ya not call him 'it'?

I'm still wrapping my head around interdimensional travel being a casual thing so, no. Not at the moment.

Eh, what's the little guy want?

Uhhh he wants to know if dragstrips threatened anyone with a gun?

......

What, like, recently or just in general?

I dunno

Well ask him to be more specific!

You can't have Menasor without Motormaster! The shared hatred from the limbs to the torso is what makes him unstable, makes him crazy. Which is why no matter who you put where. If they hate Motormaster you're getting Mensor!

Other combiners if you change components, even just one, you run the chance of getting a new combiner with a slight difference. Except with Mensor! That hatred is what literally makes him, the need to destroy comes from Motormaster and the hatred and fear he creates in those he perceives below him.

Menasor will always be Mensor as long as Motormaster is an afthole and abuses others that combine with him. Motormaster has a larger effect on his gestalt than I feel people realize; He has more control over others than he shows either.

I mean, come ON. Look at him! Look at how he acts! He’s 100% Breakdown’s!

So that explains that, especially since the Stunticons are brothers—a direct descendant should, theoretically, also result in Menasor

But then the question is: how are Heatseeker and Slashmark able to combine into Menasor?

We know from the Protectobots and their gaggle that even one bot missing or added can create a whole new combiner (Gaia Guardian being formed without Hot Spot, and God Guardian being formed with him). So how is Menasor here?

My theory is that Heatseeker and Slashmark are ALSO next-gen. Heatseeker’s crazy-ass being Wildrider’s, and Slashmark’s poetic self being Dead End’s
