Stunticon Inconsistencies
I may sound stupid for nitpicking at this, but there are inconsistencies regarding the Stunticons. Yes, I have been viewing downloaded Generation 1 Transformers episodes.
In The Key to Vector Sigma Part 2, the Stunticons were the greatest threats to the Autobots. Without Omega Supreme or the Aerialbots, the Autobots were screwed.
However, in Masquerade, the Autobots managed to beat the Stunticons with little trouble. Motormaster, Wildrider, Dragstrip, Dead End, and Breakdown, defeated by Optimus Prime, Inferno, Hoist, Grapple, Warpath, and Tracks.
They were supposed to be one of the greatest threats to the Autobots, but later, they became a bunch of jokers. Show some friggin consistency you writers (of the show)!

Claypool, are the episodes sold in stores like Best Buy or do I have to buy them online (which I am not accustomed to doing)?
The first 16 episodes are in the Season 1 box set and the first 24 episodes of season 2 are in the Season 2 Part 1 box set. They're available at Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. type stores for around $40 apiece for the DVD sets. Well worth it if you like the cartoon.

Did Motormaster beat up on Prime in Key to Vector Sigma part 2?
I don't know if you guys have watched the same cartoon as me but in the cartoon I remember the ability of one character to beat another all depended on if the plot called for that character to beat the other. Given that it seems ridiculous to say that there is no way anybody could beat anyone else. Didn't Bruticus get taken out with a couple shots to the back? Wasn't it Sunstreaker and Mirage that took out Devestator in "The Core"? Didn't Rumble and Frenzy defeat Devestator in the movie? I don't see how the writer's were all that concerned with who could beat who or the consistency of that when they were writing a story for the series.

Prime isn't invincible. Remember in A Prime Problem when Laserbeak blasts Prime, who falls into a crevice. Being the strongest Autobot (aside from the gestalts, Omega Supreme, Metroplex, Fortress Maximus, and maybe some of the Dinobots) means nothing when a small Decepticon can blast him and dodge repeatedly. As for Shockwave, he can turn into that big gun and blast Prime's head. If he is unsuccessful, he can try something else. He is still resourceful and one of the smartest Decepticons.

the ability of one bot to defeat another realies on the strengths and weaknesses- someone mentioned frenzy and rumble defeating devastator well the combiners in general could not handle vibrations and could be shock loose which is what you see happen to devastator for example. In the case of Motormaster he had a very large ego and also relied a lot on bullying techniques to try to phase out his opponents before they attacked- which is why he could never fully defeat prime.
Given the right situation any one can beat anyone (hey in season 4 Daniel (at the estimated age of 11 maybe between 4 and 5 foot tall and generally a weed) managed to injure Cyclonus (a lot bigger and a lot stronger)) anything can happen!

Wasn't there an episode where Motormaster and Prime played chicken and collided. Then out of the dust, Prime rolled away unscathed and Motormaster rolled out looking like he ran a drag race into a brick wall?
