mtmte personally wronged me by not giving me a panel showing whatever orion's referring to here

so i drew my own

orion is trying so hard to keep order and the children are not helping (neither is roller, he's glued to the tv again)

Optimus Prime in Motormaster Disguise (Concept)

So in the original Transformers cartoon episode "Masquerade," five of the Autobots go undercover disguised as the Stunticons. I've always thought the episode concept was clever (almost all the Stunticons turn into vehicles that just happen to have Autobot counterparts) but I think the episode would have worked better if the animators hadn't used the Stunticon animation models to represent the disguised Autobots. If you watch the episode carefully, the disguised Autobots spend the entire episode in vehicle mode. This suggests to me that the Autobots were merely painted like the Stunticons.

I feel like the Autobots should have gotten some special animation models for this episode. It probably would have been a logistical nightmare, so I don't blame them for not doing it this way, but it would have been more compelling if the Autobots had been drawn like their normal selves but colored to match the Stunticon colors.

This is my concept of what Optimus Prime probably should have looked like in the episode. Now he actually looks like he's been repainted in order to go on an undercover mission. You might mistake him for Motormaster from a distance, if you squint and took your glasses off.

Jazz in Dead End Disguise (Concept Art)

The Autobots dressed up to look like the Stunticons in the Transformers cartoon episode "Masquerade," and the characters who were selected to go undercover to impersonate the Stunticons were chosen based on their vehicle forms. Jazz turns into a Porsche 935, and Dead End transforms into a Porsche 928. So, not identical, but kind of close. The episode specifically states that paint was used to disguise the Autobots. They weren't reconstructed. Therefore, I think Jazz should have actually appeared in the episode looking something like this.

I did digitally erase the racing stripes on Jazz since they would have been painted over for his Dead End disguise. I figured Jazz's robot mode would also be painted to look like Dead End as much as possible, within the confines of his design and the way he transforms. Dead End has huge wheels on his shoulders and Jazz (in the cartoon) does not, but Jazz got shoulders that are colored as if the wheels are still there.

Even in Stunticon colors, though, it's pretty obviously still Jazz. That spoiler is a dead giveaway.

Sideswipe in Breakdown Disguise (Concept Art)

If you paint Sideswipe's car mode in the correct colors, he makes an absolutely perfect Breakdown. They both transform into a Lamborghini Countach so the resemblance is uncanny. This is why Sideswipe was chosen to play the role of Breakdown when his group went undercover as the Stunticons in the G1 cartoon episode "Masquerade."

The Autobots spent the entire episode in vehicle mode, though, so I don't think they were meant to be drawn exactly like the Stunticons, as they were in the finished episode. I believe the original intention was for the Autobots to retain their original designs but to be painted in the colors of the Stunticons. If that had happened, Sideswipe might have looked more like this.

Sideswipe and Breakdown transform totally differently from each other, though (the hood of the car forms Sideswipe's chest, among other things) so he can't quite pull off the robot mode look as well. Actually, I think there might be an unofficial World's Smallest Transformers version of Breakdown that looks a bit like this, since it was a redeco of the existing Sideswipe toy design.

Mirage in Drag Strip Disguise (Concept Art)

Mirage went undercover as the Stunticon named Drag Strip in the Transformers cartoon episode "Masquerade." In the episode, the disguised Mirage was simply drawn like Drag Strip, which is at odds with the episode's claim that the Autobots were disguised using paint. Given that the Autobots spent the entire episode in their vehicle forms, I wonder if the plan was for them to be animated as themselves, but colored differently.

If that had happened, Mirage might have looked something like this in the episode in question. Drag Strip's color model is kind of interesting because, unlike the Hasbro toy, he appears in two different shades of yellow. It's likely the darker yellow was merely intended to indicate shading, but in some episodes his animation model is taken very literally, with the spoiler and hood and driver's canopy consistently colored a dark mustard yellow.

I added racing stripes to Mirage's animation model because Drag Strip has these, and I feel like it would have been an important part of his attempt at a disguise. Incidentally, I would totally buy a toy of Mirage in these colors, official or otherwise. (Get on it, Takara!)

Windcharger in Wildrider Disguise (Concept Art)

There's a Transformers episode from 1985 called "Masquerade" in which the Autobots get new paint jobs and pretend to be the Stunticons. Windcharger is kind of the outlier here because he's the only Autobot who doesn't really match the make and model of the Stunticon he's impersonating (Windcharger was a Pontiac Trans Am, and Wildrider was a Ferarri Testerossa).

What's interesting about the episode is that the Autobots appeared identical to the Stunticons, even though dialogue clearly indicates they were camouflaged using paint only. Starscream was suspicious of the fake Stunticons in the episode, which would have made sense if their disguises had not been perfect. I think the original plan might have been to animate the undercover Autobots using their regular designs, but coloring them to match the Stunticons.

This is how Windcharger might have looked in the episode if they'd gone in this direction instead. The car mode isn't terrible-looking, but he really can't pull off the look as a robot at all. This is obviously not his fault, and we can't blame him for that.

Spotlight: Stunticons - Menasor (Pages 21 & 22)

Originally posted on January 28th, 2012

Story - Josh van Reyk Art - Sterling Gee Letters - HdE

wada sez: At last, the big reveal! The Stunticons are trapped in their own minds, thanks to the inhibitor programs installed by the Contructicons. With the force of will needed to dominate, Motormaster has ended up commanding the gestalt, overcoming the usual self-doubt that cripples combiners. The Autobots fighting Drag Strip are revealed to be some aspect of the minds of his teammates, with the specific identities matching up with the cartoon episode “Masquerade”, where the Autobots posed as the Stunticons. The voice heard by Breakdown is revealed to be that of the Constructicons, discussing the experiment from the outside. Evidently, Sterling Gee did not get the memo that Marshall was using the Generation 2 color scheme for Sideswipe. Note that in the second part HdE has rendered Menasor’s dialogue boxes using little squares with the team members’ colors, in contrast to Motormaster’s normal speech boxes; I wonder if this is meant to imply that the other team members have influenced the combiner after all? I also wonder if the idea is that the name “Menasor” is a portmanteau of the insults “Menace” and “Monster” heard by Motormaster in his pages.

(Partial) group shots of Orion Pax's outlier vigilante team:

Roller. Glitch. Windcharger. Skids. Trailbreaker.

Everyone on the team is dead. All of them died very painful explicit deaths, except for Windcharger. Roller came back in the end, but Optimus did not. Alyon was the last time they all stood together.

#transformers #idw transformers #mtmte #maccadam #optimus prime #skids #tarn #roller #trailbreaker #I don't think Windcharger's death was ever clearly stated but he never shows up again after the issue where Megatron got his bomber mode #Roller came back to Cybertron only a few months after Optimus sacrificed himself in Unicron
