Yeah, get back on track and put out BOTH bloods!

Thinking about it... who are the other jumbo Classics that could get a Headmaster treatment? I can't think of any that are good, logical choices. Jumbo sized mini-bots don't really fly. Same for Micromaster homages.

There's Darkwing, but Renderform already knocked that out of the park.

What's left to do that would be epic? Any ideas?

kinda reminds me of grimlocks head. i really wish they would make heads for other toys, i got my hardhead already. i would really like to see headmasters for the masterpiece figures, just think: a head for mp-01 that can turn into a robot and sit in the chair in truck mode. still think they should make a new head for g1 scorpnok.

I suppose one benefit for the G1 crowd is that these fit on ANY HeadMaster, in addition to the Universe Onslaught molds. But IMO G1 was cool in in the '80s when I was a kid but I've kind of stepped up my standards regarding playability since then.

Meh, I already have the Takara version of the mold and I don't think he needs a new head, knives or the extra guns. He especially doesn't need to be a headmaster. That and he's coming off display because of the FansProject kits anyway. I have every version of this mold already, The first Hothead kit and Stronghold on the way. This seems like overkill and out of left field. I'm looking forward to the project for their second crack at Whirl though.

I'm glad this mold is getting a LOT of use from 3rd party folks. It really is a good mold. I'm not too stoked on this particular offering but there's becoming plenty to choose from that suites your particular fancy what ever it may be.

I also agree that these guys (or any guys for that matter) give Mindwipe a little love too. I've had him for ages incomplete and would love to see a unique upgrade made specifically for him.

Hmm… according to the BBTS listing it does come with two bayonets (or "plasma knives"). I hope this is correct.

I know I'm about a week or two late but.... Is that helicopter mold the Energon Stormcloud? The helicopter looks blue in the picture, but I can't find a blue one anywhere.... So, is it just the image that makes it look like that.

Of all the heads this one for Onslaught is by far the greatest looking. But I too agree it's time for another TF not just Onslaught.

Can anyone comment on the over all QC factor on this upgrade or other Headrobots, how do they measure up?

Lastly that illustration by Headrobtos is f*cking sweet! :VEHI:
