I'd also like to point out that he would have had a serious case of hollow-leg syndrome had Hasbro not gone out of their way and put panels that clip into the back of his legs specifically to fix that. Seriously, the panels serve no other purpose other than to hide the hallowness of his legs. A+ on that one, Has.

I know this wasn't directed at me, but I felt the need to answer it.
Yes, I would be totally up for a Headmaster Arcee...IF it was done well. It would have to be substantially different from other Headmasters so she retained her classic "Princess Leia Buns" head design. Square head with Arcee face = no sell. Also, the body figure would have to be an original mold. No retools of male figures thank you very much.
Should be Daniel, right? And in the exo suit, right?
It'd almost certainly be Daniel (which is annoying as I personally prefer the "Headmasters are the actual robots, the bodies are lifeless without a head" take on Headmasters). As for the exo-suit, you probably couldn't pull it off without making the head mode look like arse. A titan master vehicle styled after the exo-suit would be neat though.
And yes I am aware she was going to be redecoed from Chromedome, but really I don't think it would work.
I think the best hope for a Headmasters Arcee is Takara. They'll make a heavy remold out of Blurr and an all new Headmaster design that includes the buns. Plus the Titan Master vehicle will look like the exo-suit vehicle mode.
Thing is though, they don't really have any reason to do that. Headmaster Arcee wasn't part of their version of the cartoon, and even if they did get Rebirth (I know they got it years later, but c'mon), it's not exactly that significant.
I didn't know either of those points (really surprised they got Rebirth)but they sometimes make figures they KNOW will sell to Americans, Masterpiece for example.
The distribution for this line has been all over thus far. I find it funny that the Wave 2 Legends are out roughly a month if not more before Soundwave shows up.
Speaking of Soundwave, I realized today that the ramp clips on the back of Blaster are probably meant for Soundwave. Tripticon in Base mode has ramps that lie forward so Sounwave will probably connect backwards into it.
Masterpiece figures only appeal to American fans as much as they appeal to Japanese fans. They're not made specifically for overseas markets, otherwise they'd probably make more of an effort to actually sell them overseas directly.
If Takara didn't make the Masterpiece line with Americans in mind, there'd be more figures like Star Saber and less like Sideswipe.
That's a very grave misconception based on the assumption that Japanese-exclusive fiction is more popular among Japanese fans than G1. It's like saying in America there's a larger want for Marvel G1 characters than Cartoon G1 characters.

Hey man even if this hasn't been your day, your week, your month or even your year, I'll be there for you (when the rain starts to pour).
All kidding aside, you seem to be a grade A hunter. I am sure you will find them soon enough, they have yet to reach saturation (aside from Skylynx, thats really not fun what happened in the US concerning his distribution).

I'd still prefer to see the arm retooled so it can attach to the side of the arm (and keep it so it can still be attached to the front for those that prefer) AND a second cannon.
I know traditionally he's only had one cannon, but dammit ... that would be impressive. Imagine the menacing poses!
(And yes I'm aware of the Shapeways add-on for the arm but I feel it sits too far away from the arm)
D-Maximus_Primal wrote:I saw that shapeways thing cause I heard everyone talking about the Peaugh solution. I don't do stuff like that, so it was a no.
And I agree about the post on the side. It would be nice. And a second cannon would be awesome too (should just buy 2)

Amen!

Overlooked on my post, but saw this and I do definitely agree on this about the new Galvatron. Without the Titan Master gimmick he would probably be the best modern version out there of the character.
