Transformers hide the reverse-pretender inside

Reverse-pretender technology is an inversion of the usual Pretender process—rather than a Transformer hiding inside an organic shell, this technology allows a human to appear as a Transformer. It is unknown if it imparts a larger size, or if a human employing the technique would be a mere six or seven foot tall robot.

Fiction

Generation 1 commercials

At the end of many commercials, kids would mouth "Robots in disguise!" as they transform into either Galvatron or Ultra Magnus. Generation 1 commercials

Transformers Animated

Jim Sorenson and Bill Forster used reverse-pretender technology, salvaged from Epsilon Holdings, to interview Decepticons as their equals. The AllSpark Almanac

Notes

  • Oddly, reverse-pretender technology predates Pretender technology by several years.
