People get too hung up on the fiction side of things with Pretenders. Yeah, giant humanoids is dumb, I get it. It's really not the best way to translate the concept into fiction. But when I say "fiction side of things", I mean they completely ignore the toys in a proper context.
When you are a child, you are not in full control of your toy collection. Sure you can save some money and buy your own but ultimately a lot of the contents of your toybox is going to be determined by what your parents, your friends' parents and your relatives happen to feel like buying for you. As an adult, you're going to stick your Pretenders on your Transformers shelf where they're going to stick out like a sore thumb. But ever considered putting them on the shelf with your MOTU or Thundercats or other large scale action figures instead?
