And we have our Pretender Shells! But those aren't the weapons for the Megatron/Grand Max shell we first saw. Boo!
Also, these instructions. Wow. That Megatron sure likes like Grand...

So yea. That gray part attaches to the chest and is supposed to hold Spacewarp in the shell. Sadly, looking at it wrong makes it pop off.
Then it slots into these guys in the front shell and Spacewarp fitting in. I haven't figure out how to get legs to fit in the back shell.
Got it! Make him squat!
Grand/Fort Max's head will fit inside. The shells are identical.

I dunno whose Facebook they were from, I just found them embedded in a post on The Allspark. Maybe they're from that user's Facebook.D-Maximus_Prime wrote:Sabrblade wrote:For clarity, those bio cards aren't mine. I just saw those pics of them and shared'em here.
It wouldn't let me leave the pictures so I couldn't see which Facebook it was from. Can you clarify and I will update?

The monkey shell is just a redeco of Oilmaster's shell that was made wholecloth by Boss Fight Studios for BotCon 2015.RAR wrote:So I really want to know where they got those shells from did Takara reproduce them for a planned reissue of Grand Maximus and then not release it so the shell mould was going spare ?
Or are they ancient moulds someone found in storage somewhere ?

This is unrelated to what Hasbro is currently doing at retail. Fun Pub took this initiative on their own.Break wrote:I had been wondering if Pretenders were coming soon, what with first the Combiners ala year 3 of G1, and then rebranded Headmasters ala year 4 of G1. Not a large scale thing, but nice to see.
The fiction made for these toys already explained that Optimus and Megatron used these forms to hide themselves on Earth from Thunder Mayhem, with Megatron hiding as a human civilian and Optimus as a city zoo gorilla named "Garry".Break wrote:It does give me the idea how they could explain away why Transformers would have Pretenders shells...it could be a way to protect them from an overdose of radiation ala Beast Wars.
Unfortunately, the window for this subscription service ended last summer. These figures are a long time coming.Break wrote:These make me wonder how much it costs to subscribe, as I like the looks of both.
