Beyond - beyond - anything you've ever seen before: Transformers Ultra Pretenders!Mega/Ultra Pretenders commercial jingle
The Ultra Pretenders take the Pretender concept even further than their Mega Pretender compatriots. Not only do their Pretender shells hide their inner robot form, not only do the shells transform, but the shells can also conceal themselves within a vehicular outer shell. Outer shell, inner shell, and inner robot can charge into battle alongside one another, creating a literal army of one.
The Ultra Pretenders are:
Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
Roadblock was seen aboard Banzai-Tron's flagship, manning some controls. Spotlight: Arcee
Commercial appearances
The Ultra Pretenders shared a commercial spot with the Mega Pretenders. The animation features Skyhammer strafing Roadblock's vehicle shell. Roadblock's two inner forms then emerge from the shell, transforming alongside each other and firing at the departing Autobot.
Toys
Generation 1
- The two Ultra Pretender toys were sold boxed. They are essentially three toys in one; each has a large, non-transformable vehicular outer shell, a medium-sized transforming inner shell, and a small transformable inner robot.
- Both toys have a similar play pattern. The large shell can encase both smaller shell and inner robot, and can be "piloted" by the inner robot as well, standing behind a set of pop-up guns. All the weapons of the robot and inner shell can attach to the outer shell.
- The small shell can enclose the inner robot while in its humanoid form. Removing the robot allows the inner shell to transform to a vehicular form, with an open-air cockpit allowing the robot to ride as a pilot. The inner shells sport two hand-held guns which can also mount on the shell's vehicle mode or attach to the outer shell.
- The inner robots are tiny, simple, and thin-limbed, a result of having to fit inside a shell that fits inside another shell. Both sport a hand-held weapon which can mount on top of their vehicle mode or attach to the vehicular shell
