The more I look at Animated Motormaster, the more I want an Animated Shattered Glass Rodimus.
I feel like I've been missing out on greatness for not connecting the dots earlier. That is absolutely the best possible voice for Animated Motormaster.

Got a surprise delivery today but welcome as the delivery date had been 9/25 as said two posts above.

Ooooooh yeah! Dig it!!
Really like the face and colors on this guy.
And DNA kit, if you're listening:

I want a hat and sunglasses for this guy. At least two different colors that I can put on him to let the world know that the cream rises to the top! Ooooh yeah!

Picked up mine on Wednesday (for anyone watching at home in Australia, Big W put Motormaster out on shelves this week).
I had previously had no interest in the CHUGified Animated toys of the past year, both because I already have a finished Animated collection (so I don't need the new toys in any way) and because the designs were (deliberately) off.
However – I didn't have a Motormaster (because the original was a head-swap-only Botcon exclusive), and while this is still a head-swapped Optimus, it isn't a head-swapped Animated Optimus – the new design is sufficiently different that it makes it nicely distinct from the distressingly lazy original toy. And they look good together – this new Motormaster is clearly distinct from Animated Optimus, and while the styling isn't perfect, it fits in with the Animated toys reasonably well.
I always disliked the way the Botcon exclusives were merely head-swaps of existing toys (yes, yes, I know that that's what Botcon was all about, and I don't care), but now I'm looking forward to modern versions of them when Hasbro gets around to making more CHUGified-Animated toys that I won't want
Also, I'd very much like to see Hasbro make the forearm-flap used here a standard part of their designs.

Huh, just got an email update from Amazon with an expected delivery date of 9/25.
This was a good jump from the previous 10/15 delivery date.

Definitely excited to get this guy in hand. Him & Armada Galvatron showed up in my POL today, though I'm waiting for at least one more preorder to come in before I ship it out.

weirdly I see Lobo

I'm thinking I can excuse the overly-TFA head by pretending the gigachin is actually a Bulkhead-ish chin guard (just with magnificent facial hair.) Not positive how he'll work in my collection since I have psuedo-Stunticons with Velocitron Scourge as the leader but I do still want a Motormaster for my WFC-post collection.
I know he's supposed to be a pro wrestler but the headbanger in me can't help but see Lemmy.

When BotCon Motormaster came out, I didn't think the head sculpt suited the mold at all.
13 years later, I think Legacy Motormaster wears the mold better than Optimus does.

That's definitely perfect, IMO; and, even if it wasn't, I personally would still prioritise him being a widely available, and more affordable figure, frankly. Like, not that I don't care about scale, but him being noticeably taller, than his Autobot counterpart, is already sufficient, in my book.
pokemonsdoom
just got mine today from Pulse, He's awesome, like Optimus but in purple and black not much difference on articulation or transformation, Teeth are painted white surprisingly enough, so thers 4 colors on his face. Boxy head kind of works for me with how angular the mold is. I honestly like this dude.

Hope so and If not I think it's possible 2027 we see him or some Cons since that's an anniversary year.

Id be more than happy with that size. Hopefully 2026 we get at least megatron.
Thundershot
Agreed.
TF Hot Rod
I think two heads taller is just right, still clearly taller.

I think here is a good sweat spot.

I’ve been saying all along, they should just make Megatron a LITTLE bigger than Prime as a Leader and not the ridiculous difference (double size?) in the cartoon. After that have the others fall in line with Megatron. This isn’t Studio Series, they don’t need to look like they walked off the screen.
Hydro
Just got him in and its amazing, I really need the rest of the animated stunticons(and their respective repaints.) Really hoping in 2026 we get megatron so we can start getting more animated decepticons too, I dont want them stuck in a weird size class dispute like the AOE Dinobots.
Shmoptimus Prime
Thanks for the rec! Unfortunately I have to seriously trim down my collection this year (baby girl on the way!).
John TheDestroyer
I very much recommend Prowl to you, either him or that blue repaint (can't remember her name). The mold is too fantastic in bot mode to pass up, and insanely poseable for an official Deluxe
