Like the shell mode for this guy, I'm trying to think how cool a Master Piece scale figure would look with today's engineering. Thanks for another great review and character history/bio, always appreciate these.

Not a fan of the pretenders, I have no connection with them at all, but I respect the people that do. I'm amazed at the condition of him, he looks damn near mint! Killer review of one of the pretenders that I don't remember ever seeing before. Rock the fuck on my friend \m/

Never had this guy, but he DOES have a cool look about him. (Too bad we didn't get a PotP version though...) I like the look of him more in bot mode with the thing stuck in his back to beef him up slightly, as well as the gold sword for the Pretender shell. The alt mode for the bot, looks more like a jet ski of some sort (WITHOUT the "wheels"). Personally, I think it looks better that way...and the gun doesn't help it either, does it? Nonetheless, pretty cool figure, as far as the shell goes...and another awesome review! Good stuff, brother! HOOO-AH!

Iguanus is sadly unfortunate in the sense that he has one of the best looking shells provided to any one of the sub line however, he has one of the most fucking insulting inner robot modes of any of them. The robot as well as the alt mode for the robot are an absolute design fail from start to finish. I appreciate that you had to somewhat use your imagination when it came to the alt modes, but this figure was asking just far too much of its target demographic. Refer to my review of this guy for a far more scathing point of view. Great review sir.

Love this guys art in the Dreamwave More than meets the eye character. Guide up for g1. Actually with that whole 8 issue series and recommend for any transfan to find. If ever do a true new upgraded Pretenders line (the power masters were okay but full scale figs with a robot inside that still transforms) would love to see Iguanis for sure.

The gun pointing backwards didn't make sense until I read the expanded biography. It's a Hurricane Rifle that shoots compressed air. So I bet he uses it as a booster for speed in motorcycle mode!

Hello Patriot Prime I in joy you toy's review keep up the work God you & family
In my opinion it is one of the best Pretender shells with one of the worst inner robot, and that alt mode is so terrible. Maybe if the added some small wheels, like the ones that are always on the tanks, I could have given it a pass. Anyways very awesome review.

@@PatriotPrimeReviews I have a list of all the pretenders that I still need parts for saved as a search on eBay. Every week I do the search and then sort from lowest price to high. I buy whatever piece I need that is the lowest currently on eBay. So each week I get one more piece of a pretender.
