Pretendaaaah!

I wish they'd simply focus on other things besides Pretenders. I never liked the concept.

No, I didn't like it either, but the new re-imagining of it doesn't involve a shell - so I'm quite happy that we're getting the new versions of some of the more interesting pretenders (like Bludgeon and Thunderwing).

i didnt really like bludgeon...

i would like to see a modernisation of catilla or chainclaw carnivac or snarler...

i think its time we saw some more beasts.......

Pretender bots would be nice, but I'd rather Has/Tak do some headmaster/targetmasters in the vein of classics.

Universe Cyclonus' nightstick was a step in the right direction- but after bay movie engineering - i'd hope that the moulds would be more refined than g1 headmasters. By that I mean imagine a current voyager sized tf with a headmaster head that doesn't look too blocky or out of place and looks good.

And yes my agenda is a re-do of Fort Max- although that is 99.9% not going to happen at this rate. And even if done, probably wouldn't live up to expectations.

I want to see a newer version of Bomb-Burst, a Vtol Jet with vampiric look/motif and yeah the beast Pretenders need to have newer versions too really.

There should be an option of a combined concept of the innerbot and outer shell really.

The Pretender shells are the more memorable parts because those got the starring roles when we saw them in the comics.

The robot mode homage to the shell and the vehicle mode homage to the inner robot (as per ROTF Bludgeon) works best and I would be quite happy to see more of those.

But if it had to be one or the other, as per this poll, the shell wins out over the inner robot.

If there were three Pretender homages I could get made they'd be:
An ROTF style Octopunch robot (with diving bell helmet head) that turned into a realistic submarine.
A Beast Wars style Carnivac who turned from purple/gold (with white trim) robot to wolf
A Metalhawk with a robot mode combining shell and robot elements that turned into a fighter jet.

Skullgrin, Bomb-Burst, Landmine and Snarler are all '88 Pretenders.
Here are some pictorial example of 1989 Pretenders:
Bludgeon
Stranglehold
Octopunch
Thunderwing
Longtooth
Doubleheader

Cheers for the links. Yeah, I'm all for robotic animal alt modes, but then sometimes the shell has much cooler character design. I mean, who doesn't want a half-human, half-walrus cyborg transformer?!
