Talk:Pretender
Why are the crossformers listed as Pretenders?
They may belong on the pretender page- but surely they need a separate sub-sec. -Derik 19:06, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

So, why are IDW Thunderwing and Bludgeon's shells listed as "Pretenders" on this page?
At no point in-continuity are they referred to as "Pretender shells". A "bio-cybernetic grafting process", yes; "polydermic grafting", yes; "Symbiotic carapaces", yes; "Exo-shells", yes, "Pretenders" no. This on a wiki that speculates that Spider-Man gets all his powers from his suit because there's no spider-bite reference in a Marvel US TF comic.
Almost none of the opening - about half of one line, dismissed as "also can" - applies to the carapaces. They're not removable and can't act independently. They're explicitly not intended as disguise of any sort. They're survival suits permanently bonded to the original robot.
So, ummm... why? - 82.10.138.152 17:18, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
