The new decepticon Pretender is a pimp. I love it!

He is a repaint of Pretender Jazz if anyone is wondering. But what I'm wondering is it just the shell, or does he come with the inner robot too?

LOL
he looks like a robotic version of Vince McMahhon.
(the owner of the WWE for those who don't watch wrestling).

Part of my brain should have been appaled at this but the overriding portion instantly coalesced a picture of my 3 scout class motorbike/fembots and movie deluxe Arcee at this guys feet.

I'm going to hell...on the short bus...and I swear I'm taking everyone here with me for this.


...and to think, I wasted precious hours dissin' on Wheelie..

I'm a little confused.
Is it just a custom repaint of a toy, or is is actually factory made?

'cons never used human pretender shells. so coyboys are monsters. it all makes sense now...

I thought he looked familiar. Yes he definitely looks like the Pretender Jazz shell.

I assuming they'll give him a different inner robot if they give him one at all. a small Porsche does not evoke a big brutish purple and gray truck.

Perhaps a repainted Longtooth can work. The Pretenders inner robots had very unique looking alt modes. some tied to their original character's alt mode. I can't think of anything other than Longtooth for a truck.

There was one. Pretender Classics Starscream.

I just looked it up and was about to agree with Ultra Primal. That's Jazz allright. It will be intersting to see what they come up with to put inside that shell. I can't imagine that they'd just leave it empty but they're going to have to come up with something good to do Motormaster justice. Overcracker is right, the Porsche is not going to cut it.

Actually, there were two. The other was Stranglehold.

Yes the best forgotten Stranglehold. It was horrible. Strangely the UK comics always showed it without the moustache.

I mean we got Bludgeon and Octopunch, two of the coolest looking shells and they ruin the set Freddy Mercury on steroids. I wish he was the invisible man.

Curious about the inner robot myself. Repaint of Legend Cybertron Prime.

Maybe they'll surprise us with a repaint of Actionmaster Optimus Prime. Actionmaster Jazz was able to fit in that shell.

If they really wanted to give us a proper Motormaster, I would have liked a repaint of RID Ultra Magnus.

dairycon should've used him, and painted the bot like a black and white cow

UltraPrimal wrote:But what I'm wondering is it just the shell, or does he come with the inner robot too?

We don't know yet, as this is the only image that the officials have released. There's been no word if (or what) there might be an inner robot, all we know about is the Pretender Shell.

The official word has always been that they are 'High End Customs'. I don't know if Pretender Motormaster is a repaint of an old Pretender shell or not, although I have posed the question to the Dairycon group... The one thing that I am aware of is that the person involved in a good number of the Dairycon exclusives is the same person who does the Botcon Customs classes, so the figures really do look nice!

Ill keep my opinion to myself on this guy...use you imagination to figure it out...lol

They just dont make pretenders like they used too these days. I own G1 Skullgrin and bugly. that was back when pretenders looked threatning.

the gun in Pimpmaster's hand looks suspiciously a LOT like Cyb Armorhide`s...kind of a big downgrade from a rig to a towtruck....

Black Arachnis, you have an eye for details! How did I miss that?!?! I even own both Cybertron & Movie Armorhide! But, could Armorhide even fit inside a Pretender Shell? I had initially dismissed it 'cuz I didn't think he'd fit (he is pretty much a thick block for his upper half... But, the gun definitely does look like Armorhide's, and the truck alt would be fitting! -And I refuse to call Armorhide a Tow Truck, as I even went as far as to buy a couple of those Hot Wheels trailers for them!

-The above trailer is mine, and in no way associated with Dairycon!

well, I do acknowledge that Armorhide has potential to be a normal rig but the figure as is from the packaging is a tow truck. might be too much effort for Dairycon to make a trailer for the exclusive so they decided to make him a tow truck instead. not a big issue IMO but stalward Motormaster fans might be peeved with that fact.
