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.

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.

Said it in the TW thread but it makes sense to mention it here: It'd be really nice if FP did an upgrade set for their Function X line, with recoloured heads with the alternate faceplates. Stylor stands out as being quite noticeably a different piece than the main Code figure and now Brainstorm will have a mouth instead of the faceplate I always thought of him with.

Can somebody please remind me what FP are calling a deluxe these days

Code/Chromedome is about the height of MP Sideswipe. Bit skinnier but definitely bigger than a Hasbro deluxe that you'll find on the shelves right now.

Would you say Chromedome is worth 85 quid?
craggy wrote:£85? Hell no! £50 is about right for these guys, the current pre-order prices for Smart Robin and UUUU is less than that, and I think it's fair.

I'd get behind that and then some. They're small and would only require a minor remold. They could wait until they've finished with the main figures and then put out a bundle pack with the alternate heads, at least for the Autobots. The Decepticon Headmasters didn't vary all that much between the U.S. and Japanese animations and the figures. The Autobots were all over the place.
My biggest concern right now is that FansProject won't be releasing a Highbrow or Hardhead. I may be wrong, but I can't think of anything FansProject has released that hadn't already been covered by another third party, except maybe the missile and rifle upgrade for City Commander. Highbrow is getting some help from HeadRobots while both that group and ToyWorld have done Hardhead.
