The Baroness detonated the dynamite inside Motormaster and stuck a disruption unit on him, reactivating him (albeit with a headache) and sending the whole group back to present-day Cybertron. Weapons: Motormaster uses the rocket pods on his shoulders to deal moderate damage from afar, and uses his Sword when up close to smash his targets.

When the Aerialbots formed Superion, Motormaster and his teammates followed suit and merged into Menasor.The art on on his Japanese packaging has him transformed correctly, while the art on his individual Hasbro release shows him mistransformed, with his upper legs out to the side instead of down. Later, under Soundwave's command, the Decepticons were engaged in an extended guerrilla war with the Autobots for control of Cybertron.

Motormaster and the Stunticons journeyed to Cybertron with the strike force, and confronted their old enemies, the Aerialbots.

Later, in an attempt to create a diversion while he set his final plans in motion, Shockwave arranged for the release of the Stunticons.
