The problem with going head-to-head with a Stunticon was, unless you were a Dinobot, an Aerialbot, a Wrecker, Optimus Prime, or Omega Supreme, the Stunticons were tougher. It was the damn forcefields, and probably the crazy. Half of them didn't care if they died, and the other would be happy if they died taking you out.

Then there was Motormaster. He was just happy grinding your windshield to dust under his tires.
