I actually used a Poser male character!  It is a first for me.  I built this entire suit of armor and turned the P4 male character into the Transformer Pretender Classics Grimlock!  I haven't quite finished it yet and it's still very rough.  Once I get it completely built, I can then go back and start tweaking it over a long period of time until it looks right.

That is cool!

This is seriously cool !!!            !!! I really really like it

Wow, great work, the proportions are good, and he looks the part.

The Poser male characters are pretty well done. I like P6 James best, but he does not have much, although the old P3 Dork,is growing on me (hey I only just moved up from P2 Default Guy), I never got into the P1 Zombie male/female.

Would like to see more of him (side, and back views please - but that's just me).

Thanks for the comments, everyone.  I didn't post any side or back views because the back isn't done yet!  Hopefully, I will have enough of the back done in a few days to post some other views.

...but what if he has to pee?

Am I the only one who thinks they named it Windows because it is a major pane? BA-DUM BOOM!!

He doesn't.  He's a Pretender.  Although I'm not sure if they are cyborgs or entirely artificial.  We need a Transformer expert on here.

You called? :p

And if I remember it well, Pretenders are like the Terminator, the organic part is skin-deep... what led to some embarrasing situations in the old Transformers comic

Yah, as in hydraulic leaks.

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.

 

Here you can see the solution. He's got a build in camping toilet  
Looks very good so far

Thanks for the view.

That's some good work with the suit.

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).
