When Skullgrin revealed his true robotic nature to one of his human co-stars, however, he drew the ire of Circuit Breaker, an encounter which may have ended his movie career. The giant devil-goat monster became a nationwide phenomenon. Sent to Earth to establish a fuel depot while hidden in his outer shell, he attracted the attention of a B-movie producer, who wrote him into the script of his latest feature. Pretender technology allowed Skullgrin to become first a rural legend, then a movie star. When the star wants a "tall latte", he means TALL. The most common style of Pretender is an inner robot with a single humanoid shell (usually resembling a monster for Decepticons or a human in battle armor for Autobots). The major drawback of the technology is that the core robot will feel whatever pain is inflicted on the shell, sometimes even more strongly than pain inflicted on the robot itself. On top of its exploration and infiltration uses, a shell can also function as powerful battle armor, aid in self-repair, and even function independently of its robot as a second combatant mentally controlled by its "wearer". Rather than hiding themselves as the machinery or vehicles of a world, Pretender Shells allow a robot to take on the appearance of a native life form itself. Pretenders are Transformers fitted with special external armor shells that can disguise their very nature as robots. Pretenders attempt to take this concept to the next level. We don't know exactly how this works, and the artist probably didn't either, but it sure does look cool!ĭisguise has always been a key component of Transformer operations on other worlds.
