    Took a spin at Prime as Roadblock. Needs some custom Parts because as-is he looks more like a rando "Nemesis" Prime than anything.

    Quick digi of TLK Megatron as Cloudburst/Phoenix based on the in-hand review we just got.

    Damn movie toys are so muddy and dark it was hard to tell what was happening in vehicle mode and it was tough figuring out where any given detail began or ended...but I think it works pretty well.

    I'll take another shot once we get some official images.

    I love this idea. He even kinda resembles Cloudburst.

    Not sure I see it...but I could give it a try when I get better source images

    Yeah it's all I could see when they revealed him. Haven't decided who else to try yet, but the "Knights in Armor" aesthetic of TLK I think lends itself to the Pretender concept pretty generally. And of course the original concept art for Pretenders had them in a much more medieval fantasy style...so it's a nice full-circle situation.

    Any thoughts on other currently-revealed guys that might be worth a shot?

    Roadblock-imus Prime looks pretty badass. As for who you should take a stab at next, I'd love to see either a Skullgrin out of Nitro, or a Bugly out of Barricade.

    Any good official shots of them yet? (Until CloudMegaBurstTron popped up I wasn't following TLK at all)

    Oh the one that's actually out currently? I can take a pass at him, but while I love the toy as a standard TF, that car hood chest isn't playing too well into the Pretender concept. But it might look cool.

    Fair enough. I'd also recommend using Steelbane as Pretender Starscream. Just for the irony of the cowardly Starscream turning into a powerful Dragon.
