    Well, I guess this can serve as the "much loved" Terminator / TF comic crossover idea.

    I dont think this is true. Whats next? Headmasters, Unicron/Primus, maybe we can fire up the Beast Wars in the middle of the movie? By the time they are done with reliving every gimmick there should be roughly 8 seconds of screen time each. And even if it is true, Im telling myself it isnt. Over and over and over...
    Im waiting for the "source" to tell us Rescue Roy is in it...

    I don't know if it will work or not on the big screen, but in my head it just doesn't seem quite right. I never cared for Pretenders back in the day, but maybe they can make it work. I think it does sound pretty cliche' for a scifi movie. It just seems Bay is throwing out way to many concepts at once and it's just going to be to many gimmicks in one movie, running the risk of ruining it.

    I don't mind if Pretenders are in the movie or not. If they are though, I wouldn't mind seeing one of the Pretenders from Masterforce used in the film. :) 

    I will hope though, that the robot will be able to both talk and transform once the Pretender disguise is turned off.

    Did not really like pretenders, but that said I do like this concept. Kind of reminds of the Replicators that take over Marrick's body in the Ark of Truth

    That's actually not a bad point. Worse, any casual visitor to the website is going to end up seeing that headline whether they like it or not.

    Hmm, I wonder if G.I. Joe figures next year will have Pretender crossovers too.

    I think that's a rather odd choice for the film. But at the same time I actually now want to see how they exactly pain on pulling it off.
    The concept actually really doesn't bother me. I could take it or leave it.

    The thing that's bothering me is this "scanning tentacle"....Exactly what does that mean? A tentacle that...Scans things...Oh god....I just thought of a really horrible possibility on how this Decepticon get's it's human alt-mode....Nah, Bay would go there....Would he?

    I really like the idea of the Predenders concept in the live action films, if you think about it it's a perfect fit for it. I Digg it ;)

    Hmm.. after reading this, I'm checking the calendar again to see whether today its 1st April or not.

    she's human female size... barely 6 feet tall. Since mass shifting a no no, a robot "bursting" out of "her" shell would be .like .. 5 feet tall? whats her "built", robot-wise.. even slimmer maybe? what can a 5 feet robot transform into (assuming she needn't have an earthen mode anymore). Cybertronian tricycle?

    Michael Bay really knows how to dig up the stupidest aspects of Transformers. Pretenders was one of the lamest gimicks Transformers has had. Personally, I think it is the lamest. I haven't liked a single Pretender character. Yes, includes fanboy favorites Thunderwing and Skeletor...or Bludeon.

    Hey Micheal, people think Action Masters were lame. Why not work one of them into the movie also.

    GAG!! Are you kidding me!?! This is a stupid stupid idea. And even more stupid if it turns out to be true and this was not marked as a spoiler.
