Second Dairycon Exclusive Revealed!

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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....

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.
