I bought TFCC Nightbeat. I've only got 1 complaint: as I've mentioned before, it's how this guy's head turned out. If there was a way to adapt Head Robots to the E-Hot Shot mold used here, I'd go for it.

Muzzle for Timelines Nightbeat
Lord Zarak for Energon Scorpinok
Abraham Dante for Energon Scorpinok
Hunter O'Nion for Classics 2.0/Universe/Henkei! Henkei! Sunstreaker
and just for kicks and customizers, a Headmaster Daniel Witwicky to go with Chromedome and any classics figure.

Well, Nightbeat's head is only on a ball joint, so it would be fairly easy to attach a new one.

Lovin' the ideas on this thread.

Muzzle for ROTF Nightbeat and Lug for Energon Inferno would rock!!!

Powermaster Prime too cos that head is awful!!!

Am I the only one who thinks Cybertron Swerve (Clocker repaint) would be a good bod for Chromedome? With a Stylor head?

How about Headmasters for Encore Ironhide and Ratchet? Maybe even the green and black versions?

Since Swerve's a scout class, I've gotta wonder: isn't he a bit small for a Headmaster? With my HeadRobots figure attached, my Mindwipe is only slightly shorter than my Classics Jetfire figure (which was one of only 3 voyager-class figures made for that line, not counting Prime repainted as Ultra Magnus for the Target-exclusive set).

Edit: it'd be a good repaint, if we were talking about doing something like U2.0 Hardhead.

Was gonna say (if anything) that it'd be more interesting to just leave the original head under the hood and use an adapter add-on instead...but it might actually be better to have a figure that can both use the ball joint yer talking about and work with G1 Headmasters. If they do make a Muzzle figure using this idea, I'd actually consider another TFCC Nightbeat to use with it.

In other thoughts, wasn't there an eHobby exclusive Orion Pax figure repainted from the figures in the Collection 20 Kup reissue? HeadRobots obviously wouldn't be able to use Recoil's exact mold for what I think ended up being Barrelroller, but the same concept could be applied to a more generic Targetmaster weapon, IMO.

Im hoping the Power Core Combiner Mini-Cons fit into the hands of Animated Blurr, I wouldn't mind repainting one up to look like Haywire..

That will be a streatch, TFA Blur's hand openings are super small. They might plug into the holes on the side of his arms like TFA BB's booster rockets.

I kind of wish I'd have picked up...not just A-Blurr but more of the Animated Elite Guard in general. Gonna try to get into the bank tonight. If I've still got some money left, I might try to pick up the leader-class Ultra Magnus repaint. I've seen that one shelf-warming at wal-mart quite a bit lately, and I think they're asking $20 for him.

Kind of like using Firebolt for Classics Rodimus, from the sound of it. I'd still like to see someone do it though.

One thing I wanted them to do since learning of Hothead, I want them to make a G1 Onslaught head for Universe Onslaught.

Oh wait, they already are

I talked to them when they were at the last toy show here in T-dot and they said they want to remould the Hothead figure to come with a G1 gun and more G1 face to match up with the normal Universe Onslaught mould. It'll still be a head master for shits and giggles. Personally, I can't wait! It'll look great on my Japanese Universe Onslaught. It would be simply amazing if that Onslaught head transformed into B.O.T.

If it'll also work with the G1 Headmasters, as Hothead will, I'll be happy.

As for the other mold... From headrobots' blog about the repaints of Cobra that've been done:

headrobots.com wrote:-Gray Prototype. Repackaged for CONS 2010 and Nordcon 2010 Exclusive. One custom card for sector70.com customs Grand Prize Winner. sold out.
-Jungle Green and Tan Anime Cobra. Worldwide Distributor Release.
-Black “Night Rider” Recolor. Comes with Gun. Japan Exclusive. sold out.
-Blue Soldier “Snake” Recolor. Comes with Gun. US Exclusive. Buy Here.
-LAST RECOLOR. Mystery Recolor. Comes with Gun. Coming Soon. US exclusive

I don't think the "last recolor" has been announced yet. Maybe something like the Botcon 2007 Vector Sigma Display Accessory Souvenir Set that, if I remember right, unicron.com had done for the TFCC store. I'd consider buying it from the club if that's what happens.

You know, now that I think on it, it'd be hillariously messed up to have a Daniel Headmaster.

Make it fit on Animated Arcee sure (gives her a more G1 head), but also make it compatable with the older Headmaster robots. So it's be a boy headmaster changing into a girl's head fitting onto obviously male mechanical bodies.

If you paint a Chromedome pink you could get an approximation of a rejected Arcee toy idea.

That's because the rejected Arcee toy idea was in fact a repaint of Chromedome, if I remember the sketch I once saw right. (That's probably where your idea came from, though.)

I've got another "What would you like to see made" idea, but I've gotta admit since "HeadRobots!" is part of the thread title, I'm going off-topic slightly. You know how starwars.com's been promoting the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back (the theatrical release of which was 30 years ago yesterday, I've just read)? Well, Hasbro released U-3P0 in BAD form not too long ago; while (with the exception of the HK droids) I wouldn't want to single card BAD figures, I think to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Empire Strike's Back the U-3P0 mold should be used for a C-3P0 figure that comes with that net/backpack thing Chewbacca used to carry the droid's dismembered body during Empire.

am i the only person who would like to see the rest of the unproduced head designs turned in to heads?
No?

Sigh

New target masters would be good.

A transforming Prime head was designed years ago and scrapped.

The target master jnr head from the UK comic who was killed by thunder wing( cant remeebr the guys anme now) when they were introduced in Furmans black and white comic.

Isn't that Horsepower? If so - he wasn't a Headmaster, he just happened to be hanging around a couple at the time.

Qctually the proto type original arcee toy was a slight remold of Gen 1 Blur in pink.

The only known picture of it was on the TF movie lazer disk, the hard copy has never surfaced.

Possibly, ill have to dig out the issues, which are sadly in the loft and as its 0115 atm im oretty sure ill get lynched if i got up there now

There's more pics of her around now.

*checks*

She doesn't look like a G1 Blurr remold. I mean, her head isn't even on the seats like Blurr.

No?

Since I've never seent hose unproduced heads, I can't say I want to see them. Although the novelty of new heads is a nice one.

Funny how the sketch featured on G1 Arcee's page on Teletraan I is blatantly a pink Chromedome...

Yeah, you really gotta wonder what they were thinking right there. It's probably the same mentality that didn't think Arcee deserved a new mold in Binaltech.

I think "Pinkdome" Arcee would have worked. I just dunno if Stylor would have worked as the mold for Arcee's head.

You think so??

Well, it'd be the only G1 Arcee toy, so I suppose there'd be that.

I'm sure that they would have done a new head for arcee, so as to make it look more Daniel like.

I dunno about that. I mean, they didn't for Minerva.

But even if they gave the toy a totally passable G1 Arcee head, this is the toy we're talking about.

"Does this robot mode make me look fat?"

Arcee: "Hot Rod, why don't you call me anymore? Is it because Daniel turns into my head? Or is it because I have Chromedome's body?"
Springer: "Hey, it's all good here, baby! Gimme a kiss!"

I mean, they're robots and everything, but that's a decidedly male robot for a decidedly female TF. We're getting kinda off track here, but just picture THAT body with a G1 Arcee head. I don't think it'd look good, but I think it'd be kind of hillarious.

Not quite. About 10 years ago I had bought the original Arcee Prototype off of a Canadian E-bay seller. It was a glorified brick, but it was pretty special at the time. Sadly, I needed money badly due to a "poor investment" and I sold her for a good profit.

I even tried tracking her back down for the dude from Rabbid Squirrel, but with no luck.
