Yeah, I'd rank them the same. Headmasters is too bland, Victory feels too kiddy, and Masterforce is the series where plot and characters are strongest.
Scrounge would be fitting if they did him in Speedia as a repaint of Cosmos, since he was an announcer in for it in the comics. But I'd be all for a Blue Cosmos as Pathfinder to go with Bug Bite, Road Ranger, and Crasher.
Masterforce is imo the best way to do pretenders conceptionally. A secret force of Autobots hiding as humans, the ultimate take on 'Robots in disguise' with the Decepticons using their Shells to try and distract humans from their activities. Take a bit of IDW's Infiltation protocols as well...
I was kinda hoping for the Earthrise Ironhide mold.
...Now that I think about it, have we seen any SG Character that isn't just their normal character's mold recolored?
Well Marvel has been all about treating their heroes like actual humans, while DC tends to prefer their heroes to be Icons, like trophies in a display case they want them to be as shiny and clean as possible.
This started life as a G4 fighting fan game, til Hasbro CND them because they were starting to make money off of it and because they felt a game where the Mane Six beat the jive outta each other was potentially damaging to a brand about the magic of friendship; then Lauren Faust helped them...
Is it wrong I want to see them try the Ultra Pretenders and see how they handle the transformers equal to those Russian nesting dolls?
Though if we're gonna see Autobot pretenders, Vroom might be a possible remold for Iguanas. G1 toy transforms roughly the same way, and head can just be...
Those were probably my favorite parts of the episode.
Overall, this episode feels like it needed to come earlier due to its topic, but other then that this was a rather nice episode.
After they do Sureshot, I'd like them to Redo Crosshairs, because if Sureshot is more like Pointblank, then Crosshide is really gonna standout as not looking like an updated G1 toy. But that is the only re-do I really want.
So watching a video on SS Ironhide, I think I'm kinda impressed that he roughly transforms the same as Seige/Earthrise version. But seeing how many hinges are on transparent plastic makes me /extremely/ weary of him as that chest is gonna break eventually.
If we see Submaruader, I would think Waverider would be a retool of him. I certainly want to see at least the Masterforce Pretenders get updates. So Submaruader, Cloudburst, Waverider, and Landmine since Metalhawk is rumored.
