  • Pretender Vehicles (1988)
The largest Pretender offerings in 1988 (thought not by a lot), Pretender Vehicles are robots whose outer shells are vehicles rather than organic creatures. The robots' vehicle modes feature large cannon accessories with reciprocating "pom-pom" action, but that feature can only be activated when the accessories are plugged into the vehicle shells: the rear wheels are part of a gear system that makes the cannons do the ack-ack-ack-ack thing.
