The Titan Master headport is just icing on an already good cake. I bought him for 'custom fodder' but he's quite nice on his own almost to the point that I think he would have made a better earth mode Megatron design than what we got from the actual movie.

But his jet mode only looks good from the top, the bottom is a wreck, the wings don't like to straighten out, and to me sticking a Titan Master in there is just making a movie version of a G1 character rather than giving a G1 character a proper body.

Still WAY less "alien" like than the first trilogy though.

I can't disagree with this. Although, there are some first trilogy figures that do fit the AOE/TLK look like Wreckage, Longarm, and Breacher. Of course, none of those were actually in the movies...

Cogman is an exclusive to the most random store you will never expect to find him.
No, seriously.
Don't take any chances. Pay 10$ more than retail and import him. He's very, VERY worth it.
OOOOOOooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Well well well, seem like it's only 5ish bucks more instead. So don't wait:

Not only you will have it 5$ cheaper than me, I'm pretty sure you Aussies are used to pay insane price for about everything. So that Cogman may be at (almost) exactly retail price for you, including taxes.
EDIT:
If you are not Australian, please move over there ASAP so I don't look like a fool.

Eh, close enough!
Too bad deluxe Cogman suffer from the "tail line" syndrome.
Still, it could have been worse. It could have been like this trio of deluxes from DOTM: Soundwave, Q, and Leadfoot.
All 3 had very limited release in non-Japan Asia only. At the time, and mostly today, Deluxe Soundwave and Leadfoot have insane prices. Like 100-200$ insane.

Overall, he is a pretty good figure. The paint work on him is spectacular! And I love the Headmaster. The transformation feels like TLK Barricade mixed with AoE Ninja Bee, and it is quite satisfying.
The bummer though, and the reason I am not more excited for him:
Very first transformation, the crotch piece broke. Very first piece I went to transform. it sucks. But if it weren't for that piece, I would sing his praises. Probably the best deluxe of the line, though he competes some with Sqweeks there. I'll need to take some more pictures of him later with the Autobot crew from the knight trilogy (or at least what is supposed to be a knight trilogy)
