"Pretender Transformers" came from a point in the toyline where Hasbro/TakaraTomy were _desperate_ for new gimmicks to keep them relevant. Basically the idea is to have a shell that resembled a human in a mech suit (for the autobots) or a mutant monster (for the decepticons) which contained the _actual_ transforming robot inside it. It was quite dumb.
@@theduckgoesmoo yeah most of the pretender transformers have been forgotten except for the decpticon bludgeon.............probably because he is a skull faced samurai who in recent incarnations ditches the pretender gimmick and just turns into a tank
This that’s dumb There were vehicle shells Also the transformer part had to be seriously restricted so they couldn’t transform properly Literally the most pointless gimmick Ain’t got nothing on combiners and multi hangers Honestly I think even the power master sets were better simply because they were just action figures and as such were built for stability (sometimes the actual transforming ones (particularly third party) have some stability issues due to what us referred to as spaghetti transformations)
@@theduckgoesmoo yeah they even tried to do other gimmicks like making them combine together to form a bigger one or turning little transformers into guns or making their heads turn into little transformers too
The funny thing about the ads was that, when the OG Transformers movie was re-released for a 20th Anniversary Edition DVD, the commercials were added as part of a special feature. It's how I first learned of Optimus always having a superform with the Powermaster Optimus ad. Believe it or not, that movie made me fall in love with Transformers moreso than the Bayformers when I was a kid. And that's saying something since the first film was pretty good growing up. It's what made me a superfan growing up in the 2000's. That, and when I saw Transformers Prime in 2012. Thus, I can easily explain the Pretender Transformers. The Pretenders were from Gen 1 and I think created for the transformers comics back when Marvel was publishing them. The idea was to have the human allies of both sides "become" transformers through special suits of Power Armor, ines that would give them powers and even limited Transforming power. Not a bad idea since a lot of times, the humans in G1 weren't always the best help unless you were a Witwicky like Spike or Sparkplug or even Daniel from the movie and later seasons. Just imagine putting on a mechanical suit that made you an 8ft tall superbeing that could comfortably and survivably transform into hover drones, mini tanks or even giant bats. And even have built-in weapons like swords, flame thrusters, blasters, etc.
10:00 Yeah, you heard right. There's a scene in the original Ghostbusters where Dan Akroyd's character gets a...to avoid the RUclips censorship bots, let's use the DBZA term "mouth present", from a ghost in his sleep. There wasn't anything really explicit on screen, but anyone who was old enough to understand what that is knew EXACTLY what was going on there. And then this movie got a tv series, toylines that continue to this day, and two sequels, all of which are marketed towards younger audiences.

Pretender Transformers were a line of 2-in-1 figures. The Transformers were inside of another figure that resembles either monsters or human beings in power suits. The idea was the human suits were for disguise and the monster suits were for intimidation. It was a step up from previous toy lines that had Transformers and humans combining together as heads, weapons, and engines.
Yeah the pretenders were kind of terrible Originally conceived to be another gimmick after declining sakes made hasbro nervous the pretenders are transformers who wear a bio organic she’ll resembling either a human, a beast or a car (for some reason they didn’t think that could be a bit pointless) In the different animated and comic universes they were different interpretations as to why this is and how Fir some it was to blend it after they mass shifted (something the franchise moved away from and bay despised) for some it was for intimidation and utter it was fir back up The suits are psychically connected to there host so could be piloted remotely but had the down side of sending pain signals back to the host Latter versions made it so only specific transcribers had this ability such as the bay films and the marvel comics had a far older legion land on earth and use the shells to disguise as dinosaurs They have fallen off hard since the 80’s and have appeared very rarely in again the bay films and the IDW comics were ultra Magnus is actually a shell to a range of smaller bots to be used as the game if the police Fun fact prentender shells similar to head hunters and target masters give transformers an inate resistance to super powered starscreams and was the reason why they survived the cataclysmic underbase powered starscream after the marvel writers needed to cull the roster after they left too many in during the unicron saga as they heavily deviated from the animated movie

Check out Game Grumps on Golden Crisp. The old commercials with Sugar Bear and the Witch were awesome but they just take a sharp left turn in how the old commercials could’ve gone.
You know that E.T. board game reminds me of the movie, and one thing that was messed up about it is that behind the scenes shooting, they told Drew Barrymore, who was just a little kid, that E.T. was a real life creature, and so when he "died," she cried for real, thinking that he was killed by being on Earth too long, and in the movie he was being held back on this planet by the government who had come to take him away. Yeah, thanks a lot, movie, you lied to a kid about a robotic prop being alive.
light bright was a box with a big lamp. and a screen with holes fort fitting the transparent colored pegs. The black paper had pre punched holes so when you put in the pegs it would not tear the paper. Because it blocks the lamp, the only light that gets through is from the pegs. Now How in the hell do you know about the E.T. cartridge's and not light bright or Ghostbuster for that matter?
Fun fact: the ET Atari game wasn’t actually that big of a failure. It’s bad, but it has a lot of the same flaws that other games at the time had. Now what REALLY fucked up Atari was their 2600 Pac-Man port! That piece of shit got returned on a MASSIVE scale! You don’t even need to play the arcade game, to see how bad the Atari port was! The brand recognition of Pac-Man was actually a detriment!
So what you said about the light bright would be how it would be done nowdays, but it actually worked by having a piece of paper over the front you stab the pieces through.

Day 85 of asking for game Theorists FNAF You know.... there are THOUSANDS of fangames, some classics from 2014 and 2015 (during the first 4 fnaf games): Five nights at Treasure ISland (based off a disney creepypasta, quite a few games but most not made by the OG creator), Five nights at Warios (6 games, the original 5 came out a while ago, then got an update in 2020, and the newest game came out a few months ago), One night at flumptys (2 games, 3rd coming soon)Five nights at candys (starring Candy the cat, and has 3 games and a remaster of the first, FNAC 4 is coming soon), The joy of Creation (had a canceled demo, then the Free Roam: Joy of Creation reborn, and then the story mode), and those are only a few titles of the THOUSANDS
Pretenders. Pretenders are Transformers fitted with special external armor shells that can disguise their very nature as robots. Rather than hiding themselves as the machinery or vehicles of a world, Pretender Shells allow a robot to take on the appearance of a native life form itself. The Decepticons were dumb and had monster shells to hide they were robots (bolts for brains, your still going to attract attention). In Japan, there was an anime called Super-God Masterforce that featured autobots disguised as humans. In Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, there is a Pretender called Alice - a decepticon disguised as a hot woman trying to seduce/capture Sam. This is an underused concept because infiltration as normal humans can go a long way. (In the anime Guyver, monstrous zoanoids hide as normal humans and infiltrated the government and military. They Won.) Weird thought: While I believe Pretenders could engage in intimate acts with humans like any sex doll, I believe only the techno-organic transformers could reproduce (such as Sari Sumdac from Transformers Animated)
@@theduckgoesmoo Yes, Seriously. There are even two cases in the original 80s cartoon (that I remember) where transformers became human. In one case, a group of criminals captured several autobots and transferred there minds into synthoid bodies that resembled humans. The criminal scientist was a guy called Snake (who was actually Cobra Commander from GI Joe) and in another episode, hovercraft autobot Seaspray became humanoid using the Tialakan Well of Transformation (and Princess Alana was able to become a female submarine autobot)
13:35 pop tarts are really tasty heated up with the toaster or microwave. Especially flavors like chocolate or cookies and cream. And they go really good with ice cream
The Poptart thing means "So Hot it's cool" as in They can be heated so they are literally hot and that is cool as in awesome. Doug is so Oblivious some times.

In the different animated and comic universes they were different interpretations as to why this is and how
Fir some it was to blend it after they mass shifted (something the franchise moved away from and bay despised) for some it was for intimidation and utter it was fir back up
The suits are psychically connected to there host so could be piloted remotely but had the down side of sending pain signals back to the host
Latter versions made it so only specific transcribers had this ability such as the bay films and the marvel comics had a far older legion land on earth and use the shells to disguise as dinosaurs
They have fallen off hard since the 80’s and have appeared very rarely in again the bay films and the IDW comics were ultra Magnus is actually a shell to a range of smaller bots to be used as the game if the police
Fun fact prentender shells similar to head hunters and target masters give transformers an inate resistance to super powered starscreams and was the reason why they survived the cataclysmic underbase powered starscream after the marvel writers needed to cull the roster after they left too many in during the unicron saga as they heavily deviated from the animated movie
