I've got this guy pre-ordered and I will more than likely be following through with it as it's very impressive. But there's something that's bugging me which I can't put my finger on. Kind of lame how the Headmaster has to basically transform whether he's in head mode or pilot mode.

I'm still kind of hoping FansProject has a Hardhead lined up for their Function X line. If they do, Hardbone is getting repainted into Roadbuster. :-$

Cheers Optibotimus. I'm feeling a lot better about this guy now and actually can't wait to get hold of him.

Question to anyone with the knowledge: if Hardbone can accommodate a G1 Headmaster, does that mean it can accommodate a HeadRobots head?

Still looking pretty bland to me. All the extra crap does nothing to homage the figure better or even make the weapons look better. I certainly wouldn't drop $100 on this. In the third party game you need to nail the homage and use the correct colors. It does have a lot of the nods there at least. Not enough to replace the Headrobots kit for me though. What is the point of that chest opening if there's no stat readout? Why the yellow bit on the cannon or the moving black piece at the end of it? There's just seems to be a bunch of pieces and unnecessary movement to maybe trick you into thinking you're getting your money's worth. I don't see it. I'm still satisfied with what I've got.

Aurora/Searchlight is showing as "In Stock". Guess you'll be shipping soon. :D

I'd like to pick up Hardhead, but wonder if FP has a version coming out anytime this year (considering all their other HeadMasters on tap). Also, whether TW plans on more HeadMasters of their own.

*edit* just saw your post on the Aurora thread, must be a good day for you. but not as good as the day these all arrive in your hands!

Indeed, this, Grindrod, and Aurora all in my hands on Friday.

Ouch on the bill though...

To your question, necr0, it was discussed here earlier, but there are no plans as of yet for FP to do a Hardhead at this time. If they do, it'll likely be next year at the earliest.

Though, you are not alone in having the opinion of waiting...

Indeed. I hit "Ship" about an hour ago.

I went in, and say Hard Head was processing, but Searchlight wasn't. I came back and posted this message.

I went back 5 mins later (I'm a little compulsive) and now Searchlight's processing too!
