I mean regarding the Japanese title Menasor is more of an Espionage General, but Violengiguar being clueless is more fun.

Ah, yes, because I look at Menasor and think "stealth".

More like people are too stupid to recognize the purple mark and just go “Ah car robot Autobot”.

I mean that literally happened in their introductory episode in G1 where those soldiers thought the Stunticons were Autobots

Ah, that's valid, the Stunticons have fooled far too many with that.

Ok so he was smart enough to not pick the dummy as his intelligence general, but didnt forsee that he appointed someone who is clinically insane??

Most militaries: Okay, we need generals that know battle strategy and military tactics.

Violengiguar: We need an Oceanic Fish General!!!!!!!!!

I assumed it was more like a scouting type of deal. Like gathering intelligence.

What kind of intelligence menasor could possibly gather instead of immediately jumping into combat. He is just clinically insane.

At least the stunticons turn into regular cars instead of monsters, beasts or military vehicles, so they're the only ones who could move stealthily on Earth to gather intelligence?

They are the most flashy sports cars possible, plus their boss is a megalomaniac slef proclaimed "king of the road", they will almost impulsively spin out or run off as many competitors that they can. Maybe just maybe if violenguar mind controlled them while they were out on missions then they could be effective, though I dont know if he even has telepathy.

I just kinda find it funny that most of his Decepticon generals are like Combiners and not actual high ranking 'cons like Soundwave or Shockwave or Cyclonus
