Pretenders hiding in a human-shaped shell may get introduced in Transformers 2. Isabel Lucas, who plays a cute girl who befriends Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf), was seen in a scene that gives ground to this hypothesis:
According to the rumor Alice would have an arm that transforms into an energy weapon, a long tongue, and a scanning tentacle.
The first Pretenders show up as a subline within the Transformers toy line: Pretenders were capable of disguising their robotic forms through the use of synthetic organic outer shells.
