Aaron Archer basically said the same thing about losing heads for years and I always just shook my head. This is the line geared towards older children/teens and collectors. Is losing parts really that big a problem? Assuming you're an adult collector, do you really have trouble losing pieces, still? I just don't get the argument. Leave the head in, if you transform it maybe you'll have to set it aside for a moment. Is setting it off to the side any worse in reality from just turning it backwards and down into a hole to the degree where you won't allow yourself to have fun with something? These are all rhetorical questions, because I think this argument is just silly. If you don't like the toys, hey, no biggie, that's you doin' you, just would hate to think someone might deprive themselves of potentially good representations of characters that they enjoy in their hobby because of anxiety over losing a part.Coptur wrote:I know a lot of people are excited about headmasters but i'm really not as i've always hated the gimmick where if you lose the head the toy is basically useless and stuck in one mode because it looks daft and incomplete when in robot mode.
Massive shame that Blaster, Soundwave and Galvatron will now suffer from a terrible gimmick i wanted all three characters but now I really won't get them. shame.
That's how I'm feeling about these. It looks like an overall play pattern that I'm not ashamed to admit is super appealing to me. These look like things I will actually mess with, repeatedly, in various fun ways. A lot of stuff lately just turns into pretty looking shelf ornamentation over time.Diem wrote:I'm cautiously optimistic.

Although I am happy for those that are excited for it.
See, this is the reasonable counterpoint to Galvatron being a Headmaster. I disagree and look forward to the toy, it doesn't bug me, but your reason here for being bugged by it makes sense.Prowl4 wrote:what I can't accept and don't like is changing galvatron who in idw specifically states he hates headmasters, being made as an actual headmaster. It's like having johnny storm be played by Michael b Jordan, it shouldn't have happened.

Also folks, be prepared for price hikes. If you think you're going to get to mess with that Skullcruncher for $10-$13, you should probably go ahead and save up another $7-$10 now and reset your expectations. I fully anticipate a pricing model similar to the Star Wars Black Series.

ZeroWolf wrote:Toys before fiction is pretty much how it works. Cyclonus was a combiner I'm CW, yet he remained normal in More than Meets the Eye. Basically I don't think Galvatron will be having a change of heart in the comics any time soon.
Of course I've lost things, stuff happens. Point I was trying to make is that this factor doesn't stop me from buying stuff if it looks fun. My dog's puked on toys, eaten limbs, almost swallowed Kreons, and drooled on countless other thingsCoptur wrote:Of course I would get annoyed if i lost a part especially their blooming HEAD![]()
. i'm an adult collector with visitors, a wife, children & a vaccuum cleaner I can try my damnedest to not lose part but yes it can still happen not often but it still can happen. I
to you if your perfect enough not lose anything.

I know people like it and of course it all comes down to personal opinion. I'm just disappointed that galvatron is being done this way. I see that toys and fiction intertwine. I didn't and wouldn't buy a combiner cyclonus for the same reason. Just a pity in my own personal opinion.

Hasbro is very spiteful towards it's villians.Prowl4 wrote:It is funny though how in idw galvatron verbally discussed his disgust at headmasters and hasbro made him one.

That's not a prototype SS. It's the actual item for the domestic release. Unlike the first samples of Blastoff with rushed paint apps.
About Galvatron, is he gnna be an upgrade of Megs? Why'd he allow Nucleon to share/cohabitate his body? Is Nucleon from Nebulos or inorganic like the cyberdroids of Cybertron?
