Though I kinda doubt it was the intention as it was just meant to be going off the IDW guy. Then again, maybe the Magnus Armour in IDW is a Pretender reference as well as a reference to the original toy being a white Optimus that put armour on... bleh, I'm rambling now
I don't think it was an intentional Pretender reference in the toy, but it's a funny realization I had when I was playing with it.
