Hasbro had me pretty "meh" on this whole venture, what with the Headmaster gimmick given to characters that classically never had it, the minimalist paint apps, and odd deco choices, but Takara has made these figures shine, and that goes a long way to make it easier for me to accept this new take on "Headmasters." I can always pretend, in the case of Bluur and Scourge, that Haywire and Fracas upgraded from Targetmasters to Headmasters.

We've got plenty of photos of Weirdwolf from BotCon. He looks great to me. Definitely one of the feathers in Hasbro's cap for the Titans Return line. It's difficult to see how Takara could improve upon what Hasbro already has, honestly.

I LOVE his head. I know its big, but it has so much personality. And I love that the takara version elongated it by adding his traditional antenna at the top. I wondr how that works with the titan master though.

You can still get him at TFSource. I am getting him at Anime Export, he is still around there (and I will be getting Computron from them too).
I thought the extra molding was a given since I thought the idea of Takara's take on these was that they all had different headsculpts from Hasbro to match the show. I am not sure about Scourge though, the angle doesnt help, but I think his head lazer might be more elevated with the Takara version.

Wolfman Jake wrote:The head sculpting for Takara's Scourge is noticeably different (and better), but the better upgrade is the deco. Painting the Headmaster kibble white not only strengthens the silhouette, helping to hide all that extra bulk that is too obvious with the Hasbro version, it's also another animation accurate touch, as Scourge is supposed to have white detailing on the sides/back of his helmet.

Yeah, it blows that we have to pay import costs. But hey, at least we get the G2 sets for 100$ each. Japan has to import those and it costs them double the price! You win some you lose some.
