"Big Motorvator" is an Autobot combiner from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Basically Road Caesar without the croutons.

"Big Motorvator" is the combined form of the three Motorvators:

• Flame the thinker.
• Gripper the leader.
• Lightspeed the speedster.

Sentinel Shouting

When asked about the name of the Motorvator combiner, Sentinel Prime at first lamented the amount of questions about combiners, then decided that if such a being went through his boot camp, he'd call it something like "Big Motorvator". Sentinel Shouting, 2015/10/07

• Flame (Motorvators, 1991)

• Gripper (Motorvators, 1991)

• Lightspeed (Motorvators, 1991)

• Known designers: Andy Couzens (Hasbro)

Released in the seventh year of the European/Australisian-market Transformers line, the Motorvators are redecoes of the three "smaller" Takara Victory Brainmaster toys, each transforming into a large racing car. Each Motorvator included an "Energon figure" (the smaller Brainmaster unit), a mini-robot that can pilot the vehicle mode and forms the face of the robot mode by inserting them into the large robot's chest cavity then closing up the torso-plate.

While each Motorvator came with the sword from the original releases of their molds, they lacked all of the other accessories used to beef up the Brainmasters' combined form Road Ceasar. However, the Motorvators can still join together (though their instructions make no mention of this functionality), but the lack of combiner kibble results in a pretty undercooked-looking super robot. This mode was finally canonized decades later as an (unnamed) character in the BotCon 2014 comic, then later named "Big Motorvator" in Fun Publications's Facebook question-and-answer feature.

They were released in a packaging design reminiscent of the concurrently-available Classics figures.

Notes

• The Motorvator combiner's existence as a character is undoubtedly inspired by Big Rescue Force, who is similar in origin and was discovered by the fandom a few years before their shared first appearance.
