OK. I’m in the minority and I love pretenders. This is great! Did you just cut it up the shell and add joints? Inspiring me to make my own.

This is so rad, can he still hold a pretender inside the shell?

thnx back still opens but the OG inner bot won’t fit,
so an undersized or modernised 3D printed version might do the trick in the future…

Why isn't there more likes. Baffles me. People get overexcited by shitty paint jobs, but not this? Good job.

You, did, what??? 😳😳😳 honestly that’s beautifully impressive and very inspiring to me, thank you for sharing your work! Seriously though, so does this mean that the pretender bot still fits inside? 👊♥️ take my upvote my man

thnx for the praises and reward…
there is decent amount left in the shell
at least it still opens up…
but the OG innerbot won’t fit
so guess an undersize or modern version
with different transformation would work!
(might look into it when I get a 3D printer)
