That's what everybody says it is.

Thought I was gonna avoid Hardhead, but that looks pretty great.

Which company's version is that?
I know a couple of them are working on him.

You're asking who that figure is beside TW's GrindRod?

Cool, thanks!

If that's all TW, these guys are really coming out of the gate strong!

Hegemon was a hit, and Rollbar(Grindrod) and Hardhead both look excellent.

Looking forward to more from these guys.

I had thought about doing that too with the couple of extra Generations Wheeljacks I have, though I wish I had a couple of Generations Tracks too to play around with and kitbash/repaint. If only to give Freeway a more "Corvette"-looking vehicle body.

With one of my extra Classics Hounds, I repainted him to be Beachcomber. Since he was pretty much a pacifist, I pop out the front grill rollbar thing and have him use it like a hand-held scanner.

Getting off the subject of Throttlebots, I recently took a Transformers: Prime Bulkhead, repainted him black with red and chrome highlights to create a Generations Trailbreaker. I think he turned out pretty sweet, though I think a darker blue than the one I chose would look better for his windows and front and back windshields.

Another project I took Generations Warpath, simply painted him dark green to create the Decepticon tank, Treads.

In another project I took another Generations Warpath, removed the gun turret, replaced it with the upper chest section of Generations FOC Shockwave. I then applied dark purple plum paint to the body to match the new upper chest section and black paint to the treads to create a much more beefier Shockwave to stand alongside my Generations/Classics Decepticons. I was still able to use its handheld FOC cannon in tank mode and in robot mode, with the addition of rubber tubing to pump up the coolness factor.

I think my next projects will be adding to my Seekers line or attempting to create my own Punch/Counterpunch. I have a few Generations Starscreams and Ramjets to build up my Seekers and at least one or two Generations Sideswipes to fool around with to get those characters made.

I think I can do that BBTS price...

1 Down, 5 to go.

Can't wait. Rollbar and Searchlight look really good.

I hope TW hasn't scrapped their IDW Optimus project.
