I live in the UK which doesn't always even get many of the figures, particularly late wave ones and I picked up Gen Brainstorm at Cambridge branch of Toys R Us a few months back and it was half price too. For me, any figure that appears in that Toys R Us in the past year that isn't RID or CW is surprising as all heck. The headmaster worked absolutely fine (the number on the back of the box confirms it was the later fixed version). I'd actually much prefer more of the original Headmasters in Voyager than shrinking them all to Deluxe. It's whats putting me off Hardhead. I'd much rather have him in Voyager so he can fit in my Voyager group of Autobots that include Springer, Sandstorm, Grimlock and others. Hardhead is probably gonna end up the size of my AoE Deluxe Bee and he really shouldn't. I like my Deluxes to be characters that are meant to be smaller than the norm (with Leader class for the ones the other way)
I'm also a Brit, but unfortunately I do not even have a Toys R Us that is even viable to get to.all my recent generations purchases have either had to be from Ebay or B&M Bargains I was able to get Roadbuster and Rhinox.

I'm in upstate New York, and I never even saw thrilling 30 brainstorm in stores lol. I've never wanted to order one online in case I ended up with the version that didn't have the fixed mechanism. Im just excited to actually find a brainstorm in stores lol, and them being deluxe class doesn't bother me since I organize my figures by toyline. I can see why it bothers people but the aesthetics of the Hardhead figure don't look anything like thrilling 30 brainstorm to me so I'm happy with a new brainstorm

Grimlock still remained a beast to robot. The gathering is a tie in to sell toys and extend the story of beast wars but the essential thing is grimlock remained a carnivorous dinosaur to robot. Not a headmaster. That's actually a massive change.
I think the Transformers Brand has made it awfully clear that the only true G1 toys you would be getting are the actual Hasbro G1 toys. If you want moderized G1 and nothing but, then Takara has the Masterpiece line. Outside of G1 and Masterpiece, there are no rules. Where were you guys when Rodimus became a micromaster? Or when Optimus became a triple changer dragon? Or when Blurr was just a retool of Drift as a normal earth car? Thats as much a huge change sicne tha character was always about his fast sleek futuristic altmode. Like making G1 Megatron into a tank instead of a gun, that's an INSANELY HUGE change.
Did we ever actually get an Optimus Prime that was a White Freightliner cab part of the classics line? No. And we wont. Why arent we going cray over that?! The Generations toy are of the G1 characters, sure but that is a starting point, just inspiration, their point is never to actually give you G1 again, because G1 already exists.
To me, this line is the same as Animated, Prime, or the movie line. It's a new take on G1 characters adn thats what it's always been.

not Blur! it's TR Brainstorm
anyway...i've not to discuss that anymore!(site managers rules)

Considering that the figure is based on Powermaster Optimus Prime, in a line where all the little partner figures of the 1987 Headmaster characters are meant to be the very same little partners of those 1987 Headmasters, who else would Powermaster Optimus Prime's little partner be than Hi-Q (even if that name isn't being used) himself?Lunatic Prime wrote:And is Orion Pax not obvious enough as Megatron (Nucleon) being Galvatron's Headmaster?

But now that you say it, Apex looks like a non-human version of Hi-Q. http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Hi-Q

Ah I see your line of thinking now![]()
Prowl4@ you are entitled to your opinion but not expect others to agree with it or that yours is the only one that's right. Hasbro may base designs off the comics and idw but that's as far as they go, we may not understand their thinking but Hasbro has been known to work in mysterious ways.

But something's still not clear to me. When Apex/Hi-Q is now OP's Headmaster, who is Optimus then actually in that story/universe? I don't think that he will appear in that form in the comics because it's the same like with CW Cyclonus: How can Cyclonus and Galvatronus be the same character? Yes, Takara answered that with their UW version, but I think it's just a pretext to make a new version/toy of him. I have nothing against that but I can't really imagine a background story for him that fits to G1 or IDW until it's not something like the story about IDW Ultra Magnus and Minimus Ambus.

I'm glad for you, but to be fair, only some of the early ones had massive issue's, only thing you might've needed to do, was trim some plastic, or clear out some flashing.

Hmm, that's interesting, I had figured it was more widespread considering how much I saw people talking about it. Oh well! If I end up with both of them, I'm sure I'll enjoy them equally and I'll have a brainstorm for both the thrilling 30 and titans return shelves in my collection lol

Well, now this same weibo user has given us a full image, pinch yourselves, of Brainstorm's vehicle mode. Let us know if you think this retool works!

I don't want to nitpick but BW Megatron is not the original Megatron like the original is not Megatronus. They just took the name of their idol.
