GROOOOAAAANNN
would ever Bay make that crappy of a decision?

[primeoptimus]

if true,than i got one less toy to buy

[Rocketeer]

I still doubt that even Michael Bay would include a Pretender.
It just seems too convenient.
Was Bay on the couch, watching "Sarah Connor Chronicles" one day, and he suddenly decided "Hell yeah! Let's thrown a Terminator in the movie!"?
I'm still not buying it.

But even if it is true, I'll accept it *as long as "Alice" isn't Soundwave.*

With Bay, that wouldn't surprise me at all. And, honestly, it wouldn't bother me. I think it would be a creative way to include Pretenders in the movie-verse. Besides, who doesn't want a legitimate reason to have a scantily clad woman on their display shelf amidst the TFs? (oh, please let her figure be scantily clad!)

[Rocketeer]

I'm all for the scantily clad females and all that, but remember the last line of Movie figures?
Remember Bayverse Arcee, with her hunchback and wings?
Do you *really* think they'd get a Pretender figure right?

That said, allow me to clarify that I'm not totally against the idea of Pretenders in the movies.
I just think that Movie #2 is too soon, especially if they're introducing big-name concepts like The Fallen and Unicron.
Doubly so due to the presence of Sarah Connor Chronicles on TV.
Michael Bay would come off looking like a plagiaristic hack.

Honestly, wouldn't it make more sense to wait until Movie 3 or 4 before introducing Pretenders?

But that's just me.
What do I know?

[syphonn]

I agree it will seem like a Terminator rip

[starfish]

...or, alternativly, we could all just actually go and watch the movie first, and THEN decide if it's rubbish or not!

Well, that's how I do things, anyway. I'm reserving judgment until I see the darn thing.

[Dead Metal]

This is awesome!
I love the way they're made in Masterforce and I like it a lot more that they're smal robots in this one.
Here's hoping for monster pretenders.

[Omegasoundwave]

Em Pretenders were always able to walk around:

That thing looks like the love-child of Frenzy and a Predator.

And if it is true, it will be interesting. It looks like this movie will be drawing upon a wider spectrum of TF lore.
