Where the hell are the Pretender Monsters? We all know Hasbro was considering them for a while then nothing.
They're the only G1 combiner team that hasn't been touched yet. They don't even have to be Pretenders.
They could've been an easy set of redecos/retools. What happened?

Dinoking, road ceasar and Landcross would like a word about Monstructor being the only combiner left to revisit (yes, I know one is a repaint but still) to say nothing of all the micromaster combiners.
A Grimlock headswap? Considering we never saw his (to my knowledge), and Hun-Gurrr's headswap/moldmate was seen to be Snaptrap/Turtler even before the Takara Selects release brought in further new tooling.Jelze Bunnycat wrote:What probably happened was that they were considered too similar to their parent molds, plus Slog and Birdbrain... who would have been the torso outside of a Hun-Gurrr headswap?

Oh hell... I don't have it on hand, it's something I remember from either the PotP thread or the Selects thread...Jelze Bunnycat wrote:ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:(...) Hun-Gurrr's headswap/moldmate was seen to be Snaptrap/Turtler even before the Takara Selects release brought in further new tooling.
Sauce?
When Hun-Gurrr was first shown, the slide actually showed a prototype/production sample with the wrong head sculpt that had been hastily covered by a shopped-in logo: I don't remember it ever being proven that it was Snaptrap's head though, I think that was just speculation unless I'm misremembering.Jelze Bunnycat wrote:ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:(...)

Well, G1 Megatron and Shockwave got you covered on 5he Targetmasters front.

A combiner with an alt-mode? I'd really like that, it's so creative! Although personally, I'd prefer something like the Cyberverse Volcanicus set teased: a chimeric dragon beast.

One for each year of the Movieverse's decade strong tenure. Here's to a few more explosive years!

No one does anything with them. The latter had a botcon/universe redeco in 2007/08. But in terms of fiction, they are in the background, at the most. If Soundwave typically only appears with the six most popular Cassettes (Ravage, Laserbeak, Ratbat, Rumble, Frenzy and sometimes, Buzzsaw). Then how about doing something new with the others?
How about extensive Beast Wars retools? Instead of making Overkill a different shade of Grimlock. Retool the TM Megatron mold exclusively for him. Applying any Stegosaurus bot from the Franchise to reappropriate for Slugfest. Then, when they have unique forms to them. Adding them into other media should be easier.
Also, this:
Powermaster Prime is the only design I've ever liked for him. So this Animated version does also scratch that itch.

POwer Rangers Mystic Force also has something similar that,with the zords becoming a fragon before becoming a robot.
Skip to 1:47 to see the dragon transformation,then the robot comes later.
