    The loss of Transformers interest after TFTM86/S3 Sunbow is on the fans themselves who lost interest.
    They chose to lose touch and thus they lost touch with whatever limited canon there was to keep excitement
    for toylines post S3 alive.

    But it WAS there:
    Japanese continuities such as Masterforce
    Marvel UK comics
    And all promotional toy catalog material (BIOs and techspecs)

    So there isn't and there shouldn't be any ambiguity regarding Pretenders.
    They were clearly explained in lore; so you can take anything ranging from
    appearance to abilities and even scale as canon from each respective lore.


    Again, if they would reintroduce Pretenders as a Deluxe or Voyager robot coupled with a 3.75inch humanoid 'Pretender shell', that would also open up a portal of opportunities to GI Joe crossovers, instead of that half-assed Hisstank Megs.

    I know Deluxe wave 2 is not out yet at retail. But I really hope wave 3 is soon.

    As soon as wave 2 is released, hoping the release for wave 3 is like maybe October or so and not like Spring 2023 as most online stores will probably post.

    It's according to a leaker. Don't remember which one though.

    Nothing to leak, really. Those are the ETAs every year for the Fall wave. Those will still be the targets, even with the ongoing worldwide shipping SNAFU.

    Very late response, but...

    Holy crap, that is pure genius! :eek: 

    And if we do the thing where the outer shell is sold on its own (like in POTP), the Prime Master can serve as an alternate head for the Pretender (e.g. the Metalhawk decoy armor can have a head based on Metalhawk's outer shell head)!

    But your idea works great for a gift set or for a Pretenders collection like the Wreckers or Velocitron collection.

    Great brainstorming! :D

    Thanks :D  honestly, Metalhawk is really the most "complete" pretender we've gotten an update for in my opinion
