They're not being serious, pretty sure they're referring to how the comics mixed up the heads.

I wasn't, they just both sounded so lame that I didn't care, but that's pretty snarky actually

[Rainmaker]

Does that mean their Loudmouth will be coloured like Nightbeat?

[Hellscream9999]

Does that mean their Loudmouth will be coloured like Nightbeat?

Dunno, but whenever you think they'll go the mp traditional route, they'll throw out a Grand Galvatronus and throw everything off, so your guess is as good as mine

[Sabrblade]

Does that mean their Loudmouth will be coloured like Nightbeat?

No, their Loudmouth is redecoed into Goshooter.

Why do you have to ruin every joke.

At least they put the arms to good use.

[Sabrblade]

Humor? On the Internet? Surely you jest.

[Rainmaker]

Y'know, I wonder if they'll make a Minerva out of the Nightbeat head and maybe they could use the skeleton of Streetwise for the body

[Sabrblade]

They'll probably make a new face for Minerva if they do her. But a new body mold altogether would be needed to capture her onscreen feminine physique.

Yeah, if Minerva gets a toy it needs to be a new mold.

On topic: Blaster looks pretty great, which makes it all the more sad he's just too big for my collection. Rewind looks awesome- I'm loving the cheeky little app symbols like Reflector for the camera app. Shame that sticker will scrape off like nobody's business. Nightbeat is pure TAKARA WINS AGAIN. Now all he needs is an actual body...

I'm honestly kind of surprised they're not making a new Nightbeat toy because of how goddamn easy it'd be to get remolds and repaints out of it.
You've got Nightbeat who is so much popular than literally anything else in his year aside from maybe PM OP, Minerva who is one of the most popular characters from Masterforce (mostly because girl), and then if you look at the original molds... you could easily get a Siren/Goshooter out of it too.
Then again... if the speculation about Chromedome being the Dead End of this line is true, we might get Nightbeat/Minerva/Siren out of that mold eventually.

Agreed on both accounts. Had Blaster been a voyager, I may have picked him up

But then he would have been a triple-changer, and at that point, he would have been little different from FoC blaster, a vehicle, a boombox and a robot - would people have wanted that?

Yeah me too, maybe he was used as a proof of concept of making base's out of figures due to his blockiness

[Emerje]

When you look at TR Blaster next to G1 Blaster it's pretty obvious what they had in mind from the start. Titan Master aside, this is their definitive update to the original toy in every way.

The difference between a serious comment and a silly one? One simple emoji. or will do fine.

I have noticed long ago that the Headmasters with bodies of their own are the larger ones back in G1, with the later, smaller ones just being heads for now. I'm assuming that's TakaraTomy's doing, wanting to focus more on the Headmasters anime for now.

By that regard you don't consider the basemode as a 3rd mode. So he already is a triple changer

Yeah, and it's my hope that they announce the final 1987 Headmaster Scorponok as a Leader class by New York Comic Con to tide us over until the inevitable Titan release. Powermaster Optimus Prime needs his Marvel Comics rival.

Emerje

He's a lot more likely to be Titan Class - not only is he much more well-remembered as the rival of Fort Max, but he was one of three Titan Class poll options. Plus after Trypticon he's the only cityformer left, and it'd be odd to have three of those be titans and not the last.

Don't expect Scorponok until after Trypticon, and don't expect Trypticon to be formally unveiled until Toy Fair 2017.
