>>8111505Kinda? I like it to be as close to the original as possible but articulated, but obviously the nature of the gimmick basically destroys any chest stuff, if the shells were to have mediocre articulation, something like the POTP leaders could work, with their inner robots serving as the filler parts.
If we forgo involving them at all with the transformers aspect then what
>>8111503 said would be the best especially if the came with the inner robots too.
Third Idea is kind of what
>>8111391 said, only instead of just shitty clip on parts, the main figure is the pretender shell, which is a transformer in it's own right, that can interact with a smaller figure based on their inner robots, working like a siege weaponiser, it can be reassembled into a vehicle mode, but can also interact with the bigger figure, they could turn into parts like armor or weapons for the bigger figure to use. I reckon that could be the most fun. The lore could be the little figure is remotely controlling the bigger one, hence a "pretender"
