I hope there's another weapons pack in the works to finish Crankcases shoulder guns.

At first glance you can't see it. Personally, I like it this way, and I don't think there would be many who care anyway a bit like the Rumble no elbows situation.

Skull GRINs because he's got a lower jaw. Without it, he would just be called "Skull".

You still get the functionality of the original toys, except the shells are smaller to fit just a Headmaster, not the entire robot or vehicle.

There is absolutely no point.
Unless as a Karen, you feel good Karening with other Karens.
So you do you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nah. Core class figures based on the inner robot. Updated with more convincing alt modes and transformations. They can also transform into a more compact form, vehicle mode would work for some, so they can fit into deluxe sized hollow (articulated) shells. This can probably all fit into the deluxe budget. If not then voyager. I honestly would be fine if they just made the inner robot, and someone made upgrade kits with a slightly articulated. shell.

The issue with that though is then the Pretenders are then out of scale when you use the Masterforce versions where the shells were smaller and the inner bots were the same size as most of the other Transformers seen.
Personally, if we got them at voyager price points, I'd want them to include figures of the shells that turn into weapons like Peacemaker from Pointblank, and then also include armor that attaches to a deluxe size inner bot Ultra Magnus style to homage the Marvel comics version where the shell was still full size. Whether or not the pretender armor would have a human face or go with a robot face is up to the designer, though I'd be fine either way

Legacy Deluxe Pretender Skullgrin was a project challenge that really wreaked havoc on my emotions.
Last minute these Pretenders were approved for slots slated for dropped characters.

Well every single Deluxe-and-higher figure that has included a Battlemaster mold has been an exclusive, and all but one of them have had prices higher than/outside the normal retail price points, so....MaximalNui wrote:Also wonder why they used a new "mold" for Peacemaker instead of a Battlemaster retool, or even the Legends mold. Are plastic prices really that high?
