>>9524241I mostly just picked stuff I would personally want. I don't really like Depthcharge as much so he could be saved for later, and RID Prime is too big and I wanted those big slots for other stuff. I put in Alternity Prime as a compromise to have an Optimus, and you could reuse a mold like that for tons of stuff.
>Also, why is Thunderwing a Leader class?Stormbringer Thunderwing. My idea for Pretenders was that they'd integrate the shell's features into the Robot modes and have additional armor accessories, so you'd have something like Leader Shockwave - a jet that turns into a robot with addon armor pods for the armored mode. Alongside the Voyager Bludgeon and Titan Monstructor that's the three big Decepticon threats from that comic, and with the Deluxe Pretenders that means Pretenders would be represented in all size classes.
I went in with the initial idea of Beast Wars Toy characters, Decepticon Pretenders, and non-core Autobot Wreckers, with some fill-in from other lines (like G1 Megs and Horri-Bull/Nightbeat Headmasters.)
If I had another Leader slot I'd want a new Broadsides.
