Didn't they do a Whirl head for movieverse Whirl? I have one, but I guess I don't remember who it came from. That's now competing with the Generations Whirl, though a couple years later. Bad example, maybe. Carry on. I think I'll go back to drinking whatever Kool Aid is making me not make sense...megatronus wrote:NOS wrote:megatronus wrote:I don't need them to compete with the big dogs...

They kind of go hand in hand, don't they?
Not really.
Is the "Blood, the Dark Warrior" Kit competing with MMC's Feral Cons or Hexatron?
Is the "Savant" kit competing with Maketoys' Nova Prime, or G1 Highbrow?
The only product of theirs you can say is directly competing is "Darksol" with FP's Mindwipe, and that's more a coincidence than anything else. It's an exception, not a rule.
(On a side note, my Blood came incomplete so the Turret doesn't mount on the figure in either mode. The release was so long after the original announcement that I couldn't find my Bludgeon right away, which meant I really couldn't go back to BBTS or Headrobots. After putting everything but the turret on, I really didn't see much benefit over the nice Hasbro Tank Bludgeon. This has led me to shying away from Headrobots.)
