Maybe have a Mini-con who looks like the inner robot?
One funny thing with Thunderwing was how the Pretender shell has that opening behind the head... since I was a kid whenever I play with Thunderwing I sometimes flip up the robot head while it's still inside the shell just to play it from Thunderwing's robot's POV while still inside the shell. So it's like the whole is a "cut-away" showing the audience (i.e.: me!) what Thunderwing is doing inside the shell, so I can actually _see_ him "piloting" it!Anyone else do this?
