Transformers Tech Specs


Several of the Pretender tech specs suffered from a painful overuse of exclamation marks, and Skullgrin was the worst. His outer shell was nice and nasty looking if you could overlook the fact that he had a jawless goat skull for a head. The one-man attack tank inside was about as powerful as any of the Pretender vehicles got.

In the Japanese "Transformers: Masterforce" cartoon, Skullgrin was renamed Dowlos.
