Would you buy a Death's Head figure for Classics 2.0?

This cover says it all. Since Hasbro has the Marvel License and all, why not? It would be cool if they figured a way he could transform into a vehicle... I wonder if Marvel would allow it..?

:lol:

I think that he is the one character I would want whose not a traditional transformer. He is pretty cool, he has made a cameo appearance in Transformers comics, Doctor Who comic, Gi Joe comics, and super hero comics.. He's the one all around badass Cyborg that I would like to see thrown back into the mix, screw the terminator!!! Death's Head can grow to the size of a forty foot Robot and still hand them their arse!! he's the baddest time traveling, dimensional crossing bounty hunter from a future dimension!! I love him.. and think he's perfect fro the transformers toy verse..

I could possibly see Hasbro doing a DH figure at some point, I just don't think that it would be as part of a TF line. Regardless of them currently having the Marvel license it would be a bit of a copyright/trademark nightmare packaging him as a TF. So long as any such figure was about the size of a deluxe though how many of us would really care what it said on the blister?

There was a line of transforming Marvel figures not too long ago. Apparently not very successful, it had a few figures that had interesting transformations. But others that were complete failures.

I remember Iron-Man transformed into an Axe.
Punisher into a Pistol, in a very explicit way.
Apocalypse into a Gatling gun type thing.

This was before Hasbro obtained the Marvel license to produce the toys I believe. now with the aid of Hasbro I'm sure its enitrely possible, and they can produce better alt modes.

I never read any comic from him.
The only way I ever learned from his existence was from the Metrodome DVDs, the internet and the Transformers Encyclopidia (man I hate that book!).
But he seems to be quite cool, and may buy him.

Shitflaps, I forgot to log out of Amelie's account. :oops:

Oh, also, yeah, I would buy a Death's Head action figure. It'd be the coolest thing since I started spanking it.

Imagine a death's head Motorcycle, with his face looking straight atcha, and the wheels coming off his backpack the weapons become his engine piping, and his legs are th rear wheels... it's entirely doable, and easy when you think about it, his abdomen could swivel to reveal engine type parts underneath and his horns on his head turn to become the handle bars, with that mug in the front of a Motorcycle, I'd run my ass off!!!

I'd much rather he was a non-transforming Revoltech, shame it will never happen on account of him being completely unknown in Japan. I love Deaths Head but I really cant see Hasbro doing him justice, especially if they were to insist on him Transforming.

Maybe Hasbro could release him in Marvel Legends. Which would mean that he'd suck. Unless they re-used old Toybiz parts that don't have the accursed Elbro.

He kinda varies, at times he's human size and then other times he's been big enough to kick Rodimus Prime's ass.

Death's Head has been linked to the G-1 series since his cameo and appearence back in 1987, he's part of their history in a sense and lore through the Marvel comics..Marvel even helped produce the original Cartoon, so in a way G-1 and Death's head for me, will always be linked..Hasbro should give a nice robot homage to Death's head in the form of a Transformer.. change the name if you like, but make the bot very recognizable as a Death's head homage, jaw and horns included...

If he came out as part of something like the Marvel Legends line, I'd probably buy one. As a TF, no. The character isn't a TF and never was.

Not really becuase he isn't a mass-shifting Transformer like those guys. He's a cyborg/android bounty hunting badass and he DOESN'T and SHOULDN'T Transform.
