Recently, jmc2915 approached me with his idea regarding ''Reverse Pretenders''. This idea would combine GI Joe and Transformers with a new twist. The basic premise is that the humanoid forms of the Pretenders are Joes and Cobras. They use a variety of transforming vehicles or mechs resembling their Transformers identities. I was intrigued by the ideas and took on the project. Here are the results. I’ll let jmc2915 chime in with additionnal comments.
Enjoy! BAT II w. Bomb-Burst: Iguanus w. Dreadnok Cycle Roadblock Stranglehold Vroom w. Silver Mirage Motorcycle All:

Intriguing concept, I was not familiar with these when they first came out. Great job on them all.

Roadblock and Stranglehold are the truest examples of reverse Pretenders. The GI JOE figures are based off the original Pretenders designs and the mech were painted to match the original Transformers within the shells.
the others were an attempt to combine the GI JOE and Transformers universe together. Bomb-Burst had a shell styled after a bat. I thought that a Battle Android Trooper(B.A.T.) would be fitting. So for the vehicle we used the Bomb-Burst vehicle mode and referenced those colors. Iguanus the vehicle is modeled after a dreadnok motorcycle and Iguanus the robot is color scheme is based of the outer shell, because when the two come together the color schemes will complement each other. Vroom used a poc armour cycle repainted as the silver mirage and vroom is the driver. all of the figure and vehicles merge together and i will take pics as soon as i can of them together. |
