[quote user="P4luvr" post="43407"]So, they're like Terminator.  That's interesting!  Thanks for the info A_C_C.  Here's another view rendered in Blender with ambient occlusion.  I didn't make as much progress as I wanted to this weekend--too many Christmas parties. :D

It looks well. Now, don't stretch the Terminator analogy too far. I mostly know the Pretenders from some old Marvel comics, and their apparitions in one of the Japanese Transformers cartoon series (Masterforce). In MArvel they were like I have said, like the organic covering in Terminator, and shrinking devices to fit inside, tehy removed the armors and looked like normal humans. In the JApanese cartoon, it was handled more like the Power Rangers (or Super Sentai, if you prefer the original version) transform, with the added thing taht the Pretenders in Japanese continuity are all Headmasters (meaning that once that they are in robot mode, they are still human size, and transform into the head of the Transformer).
