Motorvators
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Motorvators are a group of three Autobots in the Transformers universes.
These three toys were repainted by Hasbro for Europe in 1991 from the Japanese Brainmaster toys released by Takara in 1989. Unlike the Brainmasters, these three cannot combine to become a larger robot as they were not released with the required accessories. The miniature figures the toys came with that became their heads were stated to be "Energon figures" on the packaging but nothing more is known about their exact background. The Motorvators did not appear in any fiction.
[edit] Flame
Flame is a repaint from Laster.
Function: Troubleshooter
"Too hot to handle is ice cold to me."
Bio
(From the toy packaging)
The thinker in the Motorvator team. Brilliant advisor in battle and tracking tactics. Sneaky and cunning in a conflict situation. As mentally agile as Lightspeed is physically fast, he leaves Overlord behind him in the brain power stakes. Housing Energon figure equipped with problem solving analytical compu-unit. A vastly intelligent mechanism in comparison with Overlord's basic function Energon operators. Flameproof laser-evader proton armor makes both vehicle and robot an invincible attack force.
[edit] Gripper
Gripper is a repaint from Blacker.
Function: Assault Force Leader
"To go forward across unknown terrain is only the beginning..."
Bio
(From the toy packaging)
The tougher the terrain the better he likes it, with his mega-grip tires and super reinforced vehicular armor. Loaded with dual function Energon figure supplying wide-sweep radar and sonic scanner. Transforms to mighty Motorvator robot wielding crack calibre laser-blazer broadsword. Courage and pure strength are his trademarks. He commands immeasurable power as leader of the Motorvator assault force. Specifically developed Energon feature boosts quality Motorvator construction, providing an indestructible combination.
[edit] Lightspeed
Lightspeed is a repaint from Braver. It is not stated whether or not this Lightspeed is an upgrade of the Technobot of the same name. But this Lightspeed's bio does not contradict the Technobot's.
Function: Scout/Messenger
"Light years flash past as mind numbingly sub-atomic speeds."
Bio
(From the toy packaging)
Exceeding all known groundspeed limits, faster than light itself, he speeds ahead of the team on reconnaissance missions. Energon figure fitted with micro lens photo-record equipment supplies all the data Flame and Gripper need to formulate the battle plan. In robot form speed element is transferred to fighting ability. His lethal laser-jousting technique renders the laserblade invisible in motion. This impossibly rapid Motorvator is beyond the reach of the slow moving Overlord. Even the Jet can't track him; a blur on the radar, he's already on his way back!
