Convex's head is quite a bit narrower than my other Titan Masters. On the Autobot side I have Hot Rod, Chromedome and Sawback and on the Decepticon side I have Galvatron, Scourge and Fangry. All heads have no issue swapping with each other although I do have to slide all heads into and out of Hot Rod's slot at an angle along the rear of his neck.

As for Perceptor, I think that is sort of based on how much stress you are willing to put on the head swap, and some luck. My Perceptor is pretty good, but Rodimus Prime and Diac are troublesome with going on any body, even Prime's own body.

Thanks for the Kup info. I guess mine is just a fluke so I'm willing to play the exchange game until I get one that isn't floppy.

I actually tried quite a bit of force with Perceptor as well as trying to insert heads from different angles. I'm not sure if this is a widespread issue or if this is an occasional fluke based on the following:

My Perceptor can have different heads other than Convex.

Do those heads just slide in like the average Titan Master or are you using a bit of force? I'm becoming hopeful that a simple exchange will solve my problems.

They are here after all... the Autobot trio from Wave 4 TR Deluxe.
Found at a couple of BigW stores in NSW today, Kup, Perceptor and Topspin, for $25 each.
Hopefully they show up elsewhere as well, and not be just a small number of cases that end up at just a few stores of one retailer.

Bronzewolf wrote:While his Bayverse counterpart may be returning to the big screen next month in The Last Knight, we might be seeing Crosshairs in his original form again very soon. A new photo posted by Weibo user NOTRAB shows a red and blue recolor of Titans Return Kup racing TLK Barricade.

It's not known who the previously-unseen figure is for sure obviously, as this is a leak, but he has been a long-rumored figure, and the context of the photo (seemingly G1 Crosshairs jokingly in the place of Movie Crosshairs, racing TLK Barricade) seems to point toward Crosshairs being the correct assumption. However, the other obvious theory is that this is actually Orion Pax, as TFormers notes the blue tint of the windshield, and the distinctive (yet small) Cybertron Elite Guard insignia on his side.

So is this figure Pax or 'Hairs? Please discuss and decide down in the forums, after looking at the photo below!

Sadly is looks like Pax, Crosshairs would have more Blue. It is a shame given he would be easy to do

Prime Target wrote:Could be either although it definantly looks more like Pax and Flintlock would be perfect for an Orion head. if it is indeed Pax they'd have to redeco Wheelie into Dion as one of the wave 6 Legends on that subject however i feel there needs to be at least one new mold in legends wave 6 i mean Hasbro's probably repaint Frenzy into Rumble (FIRRIB baby!) and theres repaint potential for Brawn into Outback but i need a legends Ratbat , Cliffjumper and Beachcomber. If it is Crosshairs then i'll be dissapointed cause they'll probably just repaint Grimlock into Pinpointer or whatever **** rename Hasbro pulls out their ass.

It's obvious from the begining it's Orion, the G1 Kup was already repainted the same way.
I even predicted it some pages ago (yes you can check).

I in fact, don't even understand why somebody would think crosshairs first by seing the picture instead of Orion.
Real question, for me it's like seeing a yellow F1 and guessing Sureshot instead of Dragstrip.. I don't get it.
Or is there something I missed (rumours etc) that would made seombody want to guess Crosshairs first?

So that means no Eject, No Frenzy? that's sad.
