Yeh, thats true, but if I put that up, most new TF fans would have asked what a Brainmaster is.

And they should damn well ask and be told. I'm staring at that thing and wondering how the hell it's a headmaster. If it had said brainmaster i woulda understood.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I want to watch some Victory.

err.. whats a brainmaster?

From Victory, the last full lewngth Transformers cartoon from Japan before they stopped doing TF stuff until Beast Wars at full length length.

Like all -masters they were mini-figures that accompanied a full size one. You'd put them in the chest of their full-sized robot and close the door and they'd push up and fill in the face area of the toy, as the "head" was there but faceless. I haven't ever owned one so I'm not entirely certain of exactly how the mechanics of the gimmick worked, but it seems basic to me.

Yeah, I know what you mean... I've watched 1 episode from the Cybertron series and couldn't stand it like you coulnd't stand RiD :S .

Super God MasterForce is very different, it's more anime style. I'd recommend you to watch 2-3 episodes 1st.

I know many people love Beast Wars, but from what I've seen so far I simply can't stand it... :S

Super God Masterforce is, IMO, incredible.
You need to be able to tolerate the campiness and oddness at time, but it's just plain fun.
