Damn it, I wish one 3rd party would stop making stuff I want just for a little bit.. MMC Predaking, FPs Stunticons and these guys too?

The figure looks fantastic, and with Brainstorm being the only Autobot Headmaster I owned I'm really looking forward to this update.

The only thing that really bugs me about this figure (and ToyWorld's Hardbone) is we're getting figures whose gimmick is a detachable head. I wish the producers would find it in their hearts to give us the minor selection of different faced heads. The animation/toy divide was hard enough to contend with, but with the Headmasters we've got the Pacific divide to deal with too.

Mouthplates for Brainstorms everywhere!!!!

Can sombody please explain what the "Robin" is supposed to mean ? I know Brainstorm was supposed to be smart but I dont get the rest...

I was under the impression that Smart Robin was an anagram of Brainstorm

Well done Arctorro. I wasn't fully grasping the Smart Robin thing either. But it is an anagram. Brilliant deduction good sir.

Thanks!

But I wasn't the only one to pick up on it, Mkall beat me to the post

So they mixed the letters huh ? Quadruple U was cool, but Im not feeling this style of naming (anagrams) If it was up to me, just let Toyworld come up with all the names for the other companies.

Personally, I like what was suggested in the other thread. Of course, I heard immediately in my head: "But, you may call me.....Tim"

However, that might get people confused with Skullgrin

I had to bring this lost thread back to the top for comparison purposes to the new Toyworld prototype. I swear I never noticed the mouth on this version. I much prefer the faceplate.

comparison? where?
