If Cloudburst's inner robot had elbows he'd rival most modern Transformers for articulation. I loved the story with him and Landmine against the Mecannibals. They were a great duo. I had Cloudburst when that story came out and got Landmine the following Christmas because I enjoyed their portrayal so much. Skullgrin was great too. It was nice to see a Decepticon who wasn't just another two dimensional villain.

I think animated actually referenced the pretenders when meltdown created a pair of monsters from his experiments. One of them use to be his layer I think.

I made it through the end. Lol I found this video very informative Jason. I was never a big fan of this line...probably because by the time they came out...I was about to graduate high school and was into chasing tail than plastic. Lol. Thunderwing actually looks pretty and your right...the prices on are through the roof. Kinda glad some of this line has been reintroduced in Power Of The Primes line currently. Great video brother. I have today off...so Im in KZbin binge mode. Lol - Tony

Yeah, that one went on way longer than I meant it to, my Channel was in it's infancy and I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it. I've since reviewed Thunderwing, Bludgeon, Octopunch, and Stranglehold on their own. Thanks, happy to know I'm Binge Worthy. :D

Pretenders were a good concept and I liked the characters quite a bit. Bludgeon in particular is a personal favorite. I always loved him in the Marvel Comics, and along with Shockwave, he was one of my favorite Decepticon leaders of all time.

Patriot Prime Reviews Scorponok and Thunderwing deserve so much more than a Head/Titan Master. Also Ultra Magnus as a Head/Titan Master is a little odd
@shanehai26997 жыл бұрын
Patriot Prime Reviews Don't forget about Rodimus Prime from the other (TRU) boxed set, as well...I'm thinking that (or hoping anyway) these TM heads will, in the case of Magnus & Rodimus, attach to upcoming figures, since we already know Rodimus has a leader class figure on the way (another Hot Rod that combines with his "trailer"), and since Hasbro likes to re-use a mold 2 or 3 times to maximize their investment gains from each mold, we can likely expect an Optimus Prime repaint as Ultra Magnus, which theoretically, that head would attach to. All of that has me hoping for 2 things: 1) A repaint/ slight retool of Sky Shadow in the Power of the Primes line, as duhm-tum-tum...THUNDERWING!! (Just not sure how the tank is going to work into the character exactly, but, hey, got the jet down already, so we'll see what happens!) And 2) It MAY be a sign that a Titan Class Scorponok is on the horizon...or at the very least, a smaller interim body that eventually will lead to a full fledged titan class Scorponok...which come to think of it, we may actually be getting afterall, if the product list that was released by someone on TFW2005 is accurate (and it has been so far...!). According to that, we should be getting a voyager class "Black Zarak"...which HOPEFULLY...will later combine with a much larger Scorponok body... Again, we'll see, but that's what I'm theorizing/hoping for at this point. Also, just because it's Pretender related...allegedly, we'll be getting a voyager class CARNIVAC!

I have to disagree with your opinion on Iguanus having a terrible vehicle mode. I got the toy for christmas '88 when I was a kid and was just awestruck by its overall awesomeness. Lol and to this day I still have fond memories of the Decepticon.
