I ended up with a spare Cloudburst shell. I did think of painting it as the Grand Maximus pretender shell, but figured I'd hardly ever display it like that, so I decided to finish Metalhawk's Masterforce.... force (US style).
I based the colours from Dreamwave's guidebook.
At the moment it's an empty shell. Ghost in the Shell?

Masterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-force!
Perfect dude!
We're robbed that there's not an official one coming. Can you make one for all of us?
To be fair, I'm amazed we've got a Pretender nod in CHUG at all! And Cloudburst and Landmine were the 'main' ones in the Marvel comics from memory.Quote:

It's cool we got all the main/popular/featured Pretender characters (except King Con Iquanus) but I would have been happy to get all of them in this class and style. Would have loved Sky High and Vroom to get some love.
It's just seeing how Hasbro could have just done a straight repaint with no mold changes and it would have worked as Waverider screams missed opportunity.
That looks cool. I never liked Pretenders but POTP has changed that, and I think the key for me is the size change. It somehow makes more sense for exo-suits to go best with the smallest of figures.
This is not the first time a size change has shifted my attitude, with the TR Sharkticon being an example of small sometimes being better. :)
I don't think my eyes could take the strain :eek:Quote:
