I had Gunruuner as a kid probably around 1987-88? I loved it!

I guess for extra playability you can make him a Land/Air/Sea Assault Force, if you pretend the bot transforms into a sub or boat. Another great G1 review thanks to Brother Mike...err Prime.

I actually had Gunrunner as a kid. I always thought I was missing something since the robot's transformation seemed like something unneeded to the actual jet. I tried to do him sitting in the car but back then I was always gentle with my toys and I just couldn't get him to fit in right. I'm glad to see everything I've believed about this guy was 100% true and there wasn't some amazing element I just didn't figure out.

@@sonicguyver7445 yeah, this is a weird one and that's saying a lot considering it's a vehicle Pretender LOL! Thanks for watching!

Got this guy yesterday from eBay (it was reasonably priced). Had some of the same thoughts. Didn't think of the M.A.S.K. connection until you mentioned it (and the shell does look like a suped up Thunder Hawk). It now makes sense why I decided to get it (I was originally going to skip the vehicle pretenders) since I was also a fan of that toy line. Aah, the 80s. Best decade ever for toys.

One of my least favourite G1 figures. It’s a shame as I love the name Gunrunner, the Pretender Shell looks great and I really like Gunrunner’s head sculpt. But you don’t need the inner robot at all for the jet mode which is awful. It’s not really a Transformer at all. The jet itself does look incredible though! I do love the MASK reference though, didn’t think of that before but you’re totally right it is very reminiscent of Jackhammer.

@RetroActionUK yeah, this is a weird one for sure. Thanks for watching!

I got Gunrunner in 1988 and after having him in 2008 i had to replace the rubber strip in the back tires.

I absolutely loved this line growing up. I miss the pretenders gimmic. There is one I had growing up that I really loved, but can't remember what it was called. It's shell transformed too, but only into a "jet craft." It was mostly red with bronze feet, and it's lower legs & wings on it's arms were a wierd blue that kinda clashed. The back flipped up to place the robot inside. It transformed by pointing it's arms above it's head, flipped out the wings, fold the back/front toes down to make the nose, and calapse the legs up to cover the upper legs. Then ley it on it's stomach, and vola jet mode. The cockpit is already open to put the inner robot in it. If anybody knows what It is please let me know. It may have been part of the action master line that had the non transformable posable figures, but Im not sure.

It sounds like you had Skyhammer. LMK if that's the one. Thanks for watching!

@ZedMazaus480 Ай бұрын

@BertTheStormtrooper YES!!! Thank you! That's the one. God I'm so bad at remembering names. Especially with those obscure characters that never got revisitted again later. Thanks again. It's much appreciated.

I'd love to see what Pretenders would be like with modern engineering. And not the small Prime-Armors, something more similar to the original size of the pretenders.
