Thank you: I love those forgotten characters and I'd do anything to expand their lore.
Also, Peter did a huge work in replicating the coloring style of that episode!

Bob Budiansky and the other guys working on the brand in the 1980s really threw in a whole world of ideas, like a bottomless pit of creative ingenuity!
The Pretenders were supposed to have some "supernatural" powers, or so the original advertising suggested... I think!
That's why I always felt they had to be a Quintessons creation.

No kidding! I never liked the pretender idea in the cartoon, but in the comics... oh man. D: That was just pure genius creativity by Budiansky and everyone else. ^_^
I remember reading about that somewhere too. I can see now why you made them Quintesson creations. I mean, heck those guys "made" the Transformers in one continuity, so what's to say they didn't mess around with Pretender technology? I always viewed those creeps as the "Daleks" of Transformers. They always seemed so... organic to a certain extent. I'm pretty sure it's those faces.

I agree about everything!
Especially the organic thing: I suppose the Quints were originally some parasitic organic creatures that evolved enough to cerate artificial organs and then became cyborgs, forgetting what they used to be.

A fascinating theory! Maybe I'll use that one day... and give you full credits.
