Really it's good advice. I'm 30 years old have a full time job and I pick up side jobs whenever I can, mainly to offset the cost of this hobby. Nothing wrong with a little extra work to get the things you want.

As for the human Animated figures, they were mentioned and HASBRO is trying to find the right place and time for them. It is on their high priority list.


Did they specifically say they'd be making all the transformers on the show? That's great news if that's the case. I didn't expect they'd show a prototype of Omega Supreme, 'cause it would be a spoiler for the show. Did someone actually ask about it? It'd be one of the few characters to actually demand a Supreme class, unlike Roll Out Prime.

As for human figures, I'm more curious than anything else, I'm mostly all about the bots. I just hope they do small scale versions of them, but don't rip us off like they did with 'Screen Battles' by making us buy the transformers over again.

Oh and I just hope Hasbro lets the show makers get a go with combiners!



Well, I watched the Bulkhead video review, and it wasn't mentioned. Plus there are no telltale cracks on the head that would hint at a transformation. So I'd assume not.

Disappointed there, but it'd more than make up for it if they could do a separate transforming version that was compatible with voyager Bulkhead and Sentinel.

Headmaster's far & away one of the coolest characters on the show.

That, Omega and Combiners are my 3 biggest hopes for the future. I'll be kind of gutted if they don't do right by 'em. I may add something to my sig, to sort of petition for it.

It's all good. I figured you were joking-yet-being-funny-to-be-nice.
Yeah, I'm 31, this is my 8th year of teaching, and I've worked at least a part time job every summer.
By the way, those are awesome videos.

But back to the thread... :D

It surprises me a little that Hasbro has made making the human characters such a priority.
Unfortunately, I see them packaging a human(s) with a bot like the movie scenes...
And I wouldn't be shocked if the bots were repaints so some sort, as a lure for people like me who are only looking the buy bots.

I also have a feeling that the Supreme Omega will be coming.
Why?
Well, since we're not getting any combiners any time soon,
I think Hasbro does want to give us a new "big boy" that will help tide people over.

Right now, Animated is the best chance of pushing for combiners...
Did you guys read what someone posted about the next movie??

I would like to see a transforming Headmaster too, but I doubt they would make one that is compatible with the other figures. Bulkhead is a leader and Sentinel is only a deluxe, so size compatibility would most likely be an issue. I wouldn't be surprised to see a stand alone transforming Headmaster though.

That's why I think they should do one compatible with Voyager Bulkhead and Sentinel. I'd imagine their heads wouldn't be too far apart in terms of size. It'd be small though, maybe legends size or less.

I don't think I'd have much use for a deluxe size transforming Headmaster.

I can't see any use for a Headmaster toy what so ever.

I hate the character, and think it looks like a smiling piece of Hubba-Bubba.

The worst part is, the concept and toy realy could have been one of the best parts of this series, instead we're left with a pink brick and a bunch of wanks yelling total ownage all the friggin time :-x

I haven't seen that many people praise this whole deal,
but I'm in agreement;
I think the end result of how this has been incorporated is weak.

Accutally headmaster looks like the mutant off spring of Barney and Galactus for the fantastic four.

well, the head is channeling Galactus for sure, but he's still a cool character. Every moment he's on screen is pure gold.

Those 2 lines were direct quotes from Return of the Headmaster. Total Ownage is already old.
