We can give all the flack we want about the kiddie Cyberverse line. But credit where credit is due, Cyberverse is not afraid to think outside the box.

So because most Cyberverse figures are hollow and they make a point about limiting articulations for simplicity... Don't you guys think the Cyberverse line would be the right place for the comeback of the Pretenders? And I mean proper ones that are as big and with the overall same designs as in G1. Maybe with less tiny detachable parts of course.

I personally think such a comeback in a mainline would be pretty boss. Especially if some young kids make fun memories with them.

Dirgegun! I think he was from Beast Wars Returns (Japan-Only), Zero — one of the few I have from that line. But he is wicked lookin’.

You should, it is a very fun rabbit hole to start going down into.

You know what i would enjoy to see? IDW Carnivac as a pretender, so he is literally both a Beast Wars and a Pretenders figure. It could work.

It's just the cost that puts me off :lol:

I mean one of the first items on my list, would be lio Convoy, as much of a brick he looks, I love how they went with the design of the lion head on the shoulder.

dude, I got Lio Convoy, and he is not a brick, he can move! And I agree with the lion head for a shoulder pad, it's brilliant.

This talk, along with other talks in other threads, makes me thing that much like this Pretender thread, we need a Beast Appreciation thread. Guess I'm headed there next!

Yes, D-Max! We totally need a Beast thread.

You mean like this one he created yesterday?

I still insist that we need an IDW Beast Wars/Pretender Carnivac crossover figure

News Credits: 3 · by **bodrock** » Fri Jun 07, 2019 5:06 pm

Any update for Carnivac would be appreciated, but I love your idea D-Max.

More fun with Crossblades!

You know what I'd love to have? Something that go beyond the Ultra Pretender.

The ultra giga omega dafokizdis Pretender!

Starting with a titan-master figure that would be a "rock lord" of sort. Inside a transformable scout size bot. (We already have that with TR Brawn and such) In a somewhat articulated "human" shell. Enough to make a classic sitting "piloting" pose. That pilot will then pilot a fully transformable vehicle. But that vehicle would only have a land vehicle mode and a flight vehicle mode. Then that vehicle would then fold in a more compact form than the land vehicle to be stuffed into a giant-ass non-transformable kaiju-like monster shell that would be fully articulated (but without the waist obviously).

So.
TM >>> Scout >>> Leader >>> Titan

How mother effing EPIC such a thing would be? :michaelbay:

That moment you're sorting through your big ol box of junkers to get rid of and you come across a Pretender Skyhammer shell.

With Skyhammer inside.

Unbroken from GPS ...

Talk about luck!
Now all you have to do is buy the separate guns and things from ScalperBay.

Made me think about that time when I bought a junker lot and found a big G2 Megatron among the pile that was unbroken!
...That is, until he fell down the high shelf and assploded. But eh, that's something!
