So how stupidly prognostic was this?

Motto: "SHEEAGH!"
I didn't see a thread about this, so...

Junkion Blacksmith released a bunch of Headmaster-style figures a few years ago.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7ohcFVARP3w/VHn3wrf9K3I/AAAAAAAAH-g/VRmyQQojU1g/s1600/02_JBRobotFront.jpg

Among these figures was a Powermaster Prime head, a Nemesis-style recolor, Blaster and Soundwave Heads, and Ultra Magnus and Megatron heads. The last two are outliers; but a Prime, Soundwave (and Soundblaster), and Blaster Headmaster are eerily foretelling of the current time. Especially when the Titans Returns Powermaster Prime uses the CW Ultra Magnus body, and the Titans Return Galvatron has (IIRC) a Megatron Headmaster figure.

I just found it weird and funny, and thought I'd share.

Galvatron's headmaster is Megatron. So maybe he gets 1/2 a point?

Should this be worded "prophetic" instead?

Probably, but like this wording, I'm a bit archaic. Prognostic - "an advance indication or portent of a future event."

Technically, the concept of PM Optimus aka as GodGinrai, Takara was planning to use Buggy/Roller as a headmaster of sorts. Hence we have an over-sized head kibble in the PM OP back in 1988. There would have been four wheels sticking out on Optimus' antenna and cheeks. That was eventually scrubbed.

Then those 3rd party product you mentioned.

So in a sense, full circle.

I get the original inspiration, yet paired with Blaster and Soundwave - and the Ultra Magnus mold connection to PM Prime; the Megatron/us Head unit to Galvatron - it seems weird. Funny ha ha weird; not anally probing cows weird.

Weapon: Null-Ray Rifle
And then you look at the front page news today and see concept art of a headmaster Megatron for the Titans Return line. More prophetic than the previous day.
