I find the concept fine, the executionis awful by modern standards, and I don't care if it's intended. In a contemporary setting I find the concept works where the robot and shell aesthetic is combined like skullgrin, thunderwing, black shadow, and bludgeon, or alternatively something more custom like primo's work.
I have an awesome idea for how to revamp the pretender concept, but it's still in development. I actually want to pitch it to Hasbro when I'm done with perfecting it.

Other companies have been rather successful with the "Matryushka Doll" gimmick, look at SoC GX-39 Baikanfu and Masterpiece King Exkaiser

Accidentally.

Also the AoE Hound-esque vibe coming from this redeco makes me more annoyed that I still haven't seen the Voyager Hound figure for sale where I live at all. Millions of those Power Battler or one step changer versions, sure... but not the one I actually want to pay money for. Guess it's gonna be another search on eBay... though I do so like buying figures from the shelves like when I was a kid.

Of course, if this does happen, they will have the good sense to understand that they are still TFs, who have somehow partnered with Diaclone people (possibly piloting target master mechs, or just supersized in the same way that the Diaclone partner of magnificus was - http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Magnificus_(G1) )
I suspect that future diaclones will be:
- powered convoy (with diaclone driver repaint of that white thing in the current idw inspired version)
- blue powered convoy recolour of combiner wars optimus
- red mirage coloured dragstrip
- other diaclone recolours of combiner wars figures
I also wouldn't be surprised to see waspinator getting some recolours (fox kids, transmetal, etc).
Enjoy, and remember that i told you so!
