Nice. Especially the use of Mega/Giga as Rodney.
I wondered if Hasbro thought of going a different way with him... When I got a scale-size KO of Rodney (along with the other 5, Black Scorponok and Grand), I thought that he kind of reminded me of Hunter O'Nion's (Sunstreaker) exo-suit. Even though he was killed off at the close of "All Hail Megatron", it would be a shame if they didn't make a Sunstreaker/Hunter head.
I've also been a Loafer fan since seeing his resemblance to Henry Masterson's Headmaster armor in TF: Animated. (The thought of Loafer 'body-jacking' Titanmasters Galvatron or Blitzwing...)

I just wish Hasbro had done the Headmaster Warriors from the start instead of using actual TFs. Also thanks for the feedback

I got you. I only asked about these two, since I'm currently trying to paint and build these two, and I'm not very confident in my builds. (The orange paint mix -- based on vintage General Lee die-cast cars -- sometimes seems thick, and in disassembling Throttle to make Muzzle's body, I noticed several part incompatibilities.)
Vance and a Decepticon HM (which I've decided to call "Snark") are based on custom concepts using repro parts from 1988 Headmaster (Jr.)s, I initially commissioned from Bellyboy. I've always wanted to imagine a HM operator for an Autobot who turns into the General Lee. Since that custom uses Fangry's head on Lug (Hosehead)'s (upper) body, Snark uses Hosehead's head on Brisko/Wilder's body, and serves as my "spare" HM Jr., perfect for instances where you have a Headmaster body, but little hope of finding/owning the body's intended pilot. With Titanmasters running around now, I thought I'd try to design and build some of my loose ideas with the new guys.

Snark:
- Skytread's robot head, in black (w/ red visor and sandstone-colored face)
- Fangry's head, in black (w/ teal visor)
- Overboard/Crashbash or Fangry's torso, in Horri-Bull's brownish gray or medium gray
- Overboard or Nightbeat's arms (Fangry's also OK), in a black (w/ inner arms that match the torso's gray)
- Fangry's legs, in black
(Dr.) Archeville: (I know you prefer non-organic characters, but the last time we saw Dr. Archeville, there wasn't much organic left on him. Who knows what happened in the 22 years between then and the age of the Headmasters?)
- Vorath's robot head, in black (w/ silver face and red visor)
- Xort's head, in gunmetal or (metallic?) dark violet (w/ silver visor and fleshtone face, or all silver face)
- Crashbash's torso, in silver or light gray
- Crashbash's arms, in gunmetal or (metallic) dark violet (or black, w/ inner arm details gunmetal)
- Xort or Loudmouth's legs, in gunmetal or (metallic) dark violet
"Obsidian" (undetermined name): (I know I'm not the first person to think of converting Highbrow into Obsidian, preferably with his Universe 1.0/Beast Machines TV colors. But I'm sure I'm one of the first to try this idea for the Autobot(?)'s head. Just thought of this one today.)
- Furos's robot head, in 1982 Cobra blue or Universe Obsidian's dark blue (w/ orange face and chartreuse yellow visor)
- Apeface or Furos's head, 1982 Cobra blue or Tiger Force Duke Green (w/ orangish-yellow face)
- Furos's torso, in 1982 Cobra blue or Universe Obsidian's dark blue
- Furos's arms, in Tiger Force Duke Green (with Cobra Blue stripes painted on the 2 short sections of his outer arm armor)
- Furos's legs, in Tiger Force Duke Green

Nightbeat's arms, in a light blue that matches the robot head)
Throttle/Stylor or Loudmouth's torso, in yellow
Loudmouth or Xort's legs, in dark blue
Vance (or Luke) Duke:
Fangry's robot head, in black with a Silver face and Sky Blue visor
Loudmouth's head, in Hemi Orange (w/ metallic blue visor and fleshtone face)
Loudmouth's torso, in Hemi Orange
Loudmouth's arms, in Hemi Orange, w/ "antenna" details on outside in black (or black, w/ inner arm details in Hemi Orange)
Overboard or Loudmouth's legs, in "denim blue", 1984 Optimus Prime's indigo, or 1988 Horri-Bull's dark blue

So far, I'm a fan of Bear and Cougar.
Mechanical question: Is "Furos"'s body compatible with Stylor or Throttle without major sanding? I'm thinking of reworking "Breakaway"'s partner to be a color match for Powermaster Rev (maroon limbs, dark (brownish-)gray torso).
