To be fair, as soon as Furman took over the Pretender Shells as disguises angle was completely dropped and after that they were portrayed as super powerful body armor that could both heal the robot inside and become a second simultaneously active body for them. He made them seem pretty cool despite Budiansky having missed the obvious trick of having them shrink in "human" form.
-ZacWilliam, for Pretenders I really prefer a hybrid approach. They are super armor that can be a second body like the comic but also the Autobot ones can shrink to Human-size for disguise.
