Glad they're doing Hardhead. And Highbrow too, I suppose. Vaguely surprised they've not done Arcee, even if they're more following the Japanese designs and continuity than the US.


edit: speaking of which, no word on Rebirth styled recolours of the different heads to work with the US toon designs? If we have to wait til they're all out, I'll probably pass on Smart Robin and just get Hasbro's Brainstorm. Probably. I kinda don't want to though, but he needs his faceplate. Will actually be fine with Hardhead having the mask, as I had the G1 toy and loved that head.

Is that supposed to be Cerebros? I can't even tell. I just ordered PE's Fort Max, so that kinda fills that void, doesn't it?

Edit: Good point bringing up Arcee. They seem Japan-centric in this line, so I tend to doubt it, but ... I wonder if it's even worth it with all the Arcees out there. Then again, the whole Arcee Headmaster concept is sooooo weird I want one anyway. Maybe some enterprising soul will make an add-on for one of the Arcees.

I did write Skullcruncher at first then i read a few comments on FB and got confused so i changed it but i think it's Skullcruncher... i'm gonna change it back

I'll pass on Hardhead. the universe Hardhead and the Headrobots upgrade works fine for me. the other two? Yes, please.

Get Smart Robin, you won't be disappointed.
Even if you end up getting Hasbro's too, the transform is just too good on the FP version.

I'm on the fence with Hardhead, as I have 3 different "Classic" versions of the character on my shelves already, and he's not really a favorite of mine!

Wow, lots of FP news after being so quiet for so long. Color me interested, though I already have 2 of these as representations...

Skullcruncher is X5, he was part of the original 5 FP teased all that time ago. X7 looks like Apeface

Ya think i'm gonna wait wait till the actual reveal to change the title again .

Well, they have been alternating Autobot and Decepticon, so my money's on Apeface. Time will tell, though.

Awesome !

Toyworld might as well give up and focus on the Throttlebots. And even though some people say 3rd party companies dont read these forums, Ill throw this idea out there for FP/FPcore...

A set of 7 Rebirth cartoon accurate heads (just the heads) (Maybe a FPcore exclusive around $100)

* Code with the faceplate in orange

* Quadruple U without the black on face

* Smart Robin with a face plate

* Hardhead without a face plate (assuming the original will have one)

* A replacement for whatever is not Rebirth accurate for Highbrow, Skullcruncher, and Mindwipe

Hardhead is tiny. I am glad I went with ToyWorld for him.

But I am happy to get Skullcruncher and Highbrow.

FP Horrorcons would be amazing.

AlL cedit for theses TFCON pics to Transbot Herr Transbot & Adam Tucker - Fansformers

Hmmm.

I think Toyworld's Skullcruncher is winning on this one for me.

Great pics. I am excited for both of these figures.

That not-Highbrow does looks pretty good, but considering what TW has done so far, I'll wait on theirs, especially given the miniscule size of FPs and I don't want one odd not-Headmaster on my shelf that doesn't match the size of the others.

TFW .

Those are all must-buys.

hell, I probably will, since it looks like I'll end up getting all the rest anyway at this rate. FP is knocking it outta the park with these guys.

Oh HELL yeah!

Hell f**k yeah !!!!

Highbrow is a must buy for me, seeing him rip off Scorponok's head is one of my favorite moments in the comics.

Yup, that'll do very nicely for Highbrow. Still not very interested in FP's Hardhead
