The Targetmasters are, from left to right, Kup's partner Recoil, Hot Rod's partner Firebolt, Blurr's partner Haywire (who comes with Doublecross because Legends Blurr already came out; he's obviously still designed to go with Blurr - see those clips on him? Those are no doubt for attaching to Blurr's car mode since it lacks topside ports), Triggerhappy's partner Blowpipe, and Misfire's partner Aimless. That first Headmaster is Triggerhappy's head. Doublecross's Headmaster is based on White Leo (and unlike the US version's "Daburu" is fully painted up to really show it). Not sure on the other head
Aah, but not quite.
While it would be simpler if the Targetmasters came with their actual partners - and I have no idea why they didn't do that - the Targetmasters that are actually assigned to each figure are largely random. I'll quote from Jelze since she had the full list so far:-JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Checklist time:
Pinpointer: None
Peacemaker: LG46 Targetmaster Chear / Kup
Spoilsport: None
Firebolt: None
Haywire: LG51 Targetmaster Doublecross / Twinferno
Recoil: None
Aimless: LG52 Targetmaster Misfire
Blowpipe: LG49 Targetmaster Triggerhappy
Caliburst: LG?? Targetmaster Slugslinger
Fracas: LG45 Targetmaster Hot Rodimus
Nightstick: None
We should start making image comparisons to be honest.
Jelze is wrong and I have no idea where they pulled the Fracas name from. Peacemaker I can see based on comparison, but not Fracas.
Just look at the photos of these Targetmasters and compare them to the original toys.
Firebolt:
Fracas:
Recoil:
Peacemaker:
The LG45 Targetmaster is Firebolt. He has Firebolt's shoulders, Firebolt's head, Firebolts pec detailing, Firebolt's leg detailing, and is double-barreled like Firebolt. On top of that, his eyes are colored Autobot Blue.
The LG46 Targetmaster is less clear-cut. The body detail is like Peacemaker's but the headsculpt is like Recoil's. I would lean towards him being Recoil because he's colored like Recoil and is double-barreled like Recoil.
Fracas already had an update anyway, it was called Nightstick and packaged with Cyclonus because the perpetual bunglers at Marvel Productions & Sunbow mixed the two up back in the eighties:
