What is the name of the Decepticon leader of the Stunticons?

The story behind the answer

What is the name of the Decepticon leader of the Stunticons? The answer is Motormaster.

Motormaster is the commander of the Stunticons, a Decepticon team built around high-performance road vehicles. In Generation 1, he transforms into a Kenworth K100 Aerodyne-style tractor-trailer. His imposing truck mode supplies the central torso of Menasor, the combiner formed when all five Stunticons merge.

The Stunticons were introduced in the second season of the original Transformers animated series. Megatron created them to challenge the Autobots on Earth’s highways, where their reckless driving and destructive behavior could cause panic. Their Autobot counterparts are the Aerialbots, who combine into Superion, setting up a recurring combiner rivalry.

Motormaster is often confused with Menasor, but they are not the same character. Motormaster is one individual and the team’s leader; Menasor is the combined form of Motormaster, Breakdown, Dead End, Drag Strip, and Wild Rider. The other Stunticons may resent Motormaster’s cruelty, but he remains their canonical leader.
