Could these all simply be painted Hasbro figures at this stage? If so, I wonder why the Headmasters would lag behind in production like that. The larger figures mostly seem to be finished products, or at least ready to hit the mass production line.
All of these look to be at different points in production. Triggerhappy seems to be final, though we haven't seen his head in bot mode to tell what screw it has. Kickback also seems to be final, the wings give that away since Hasbro's has yellow wings. Brawn is entirely hand painted and may be Hasbro's repainted, check out the open top being black inside for no practical reason just like Hasbro's which was black for the windows. Same goes for Repugnus and Clouder, both are entirely coated in paint, not molded plastic.
Anyway, these all look fantastic and I've put them all on order with AmiAmi. I'll be keeping my Hasbro versions as well, when the differences are this big I don't mind double dipping sometimes.

You're ordering from an outfit that routinely "mislabels" the cost of their goods to be lower than the next competition? Normally I wouldn't give a frack where you order but given how you made such a big issue about Dinoser's cost?

I believe so, yes. I think in the TR thread there was a pic of the shield pegging in as a backpack.
