Dang. I was just looking through all the 'con pretenders and thought Submarauder and Roadblock (purple and black monster-to-batmobile plz) would've worked nicely.
I'd be up for Autobot Pretenders, too. As a kid, the two "humanoid" Pretenders I had were Iguanus and Grounbreaker, so I'm pretty partial to them. Not sure the color layout would work for Groundbreaker, unfortunately. Have to stick with one whose outer shell and inner robot were similarly colored like Waverider or Cloudburst.
That Iguanus
That Igaunus is genuinely impressive.
I'd be 100% down on Skywarp if they hadn't 86'd his arm guns. Now I'm probably going to have to buy a $10 third party accessory pack for my $10 toy. Great.

Giving a Seeker a new weapon is cool. Giving a Seeker a new weapon but not the null rays is such an obviously wrong decision that it can only have been some executive mandate by someone who doesn't know what characters they're making.
Iguanus is very weird but it kinda works. I liked the POTP approach but this seems to be what more people want from new Pretenders, and they did a good job with it.

To be fair, even the Wiki refers to all Seeker arm guns as null rays. From the "Null Ray" article:
But you are right. Really, only Starscream's should be referred to as such. It's one of those "Kleenex" vs. "Facial Tissue" things.
.
Skywarp has machine guns.
I'm content to watch nature take its course and let "null ray" become the generic term for the Seeker's identical-looking guns that fire identical-looking beams in every cartoon.
My only minor gripe about Iguanus (and the Core class in general) is that I won't be able to give him gigantic weapons like you could with the Scout and Legends class toys.
Otherwise, yes, we're going back to merging the Pretender inner-bots with their shells! I missed that design choice since Bludgeon and Skullgrin. Speaking of... while we're at it, can we get a new Voyager class Bludgeon too - preferably one whose treads won't slowly eat through the interior wheel sculpts? =P

He became my Classics Bludgeon with RotF Bludgeon became a danger to those around him.RID 2015 Warrior class Bludgeon is a thing of beauty.
I really wish they'd bootlegged this one when they were oversizing RID Deluxes. They did the Megatronus but this is much cooler.
I know it's probably not going to happen, but I'm hoping that maybe we'll get some Rescue Bots in the mix. Would love to see Heatwave get his due.
So everyone can complain that it's Heatwave but not the way they wanted him?

(At the time, this toy was supposed to be of Rescue Bots Heatwave)
I thoroughly enjoy most of what we've seen out of Legacy. G1-styled Bulkhead is fun.
And I'd probably like Heatwave getting a similar take. But the likely backlash makes me wonder if it would be worth it.

Hi, welcome to the Allspark! I see you're new to Transformers fandom. Don't worry, you'll get the hang of things soon!So everyone can complain that it's Heatwave but not the way they wanted him?
