Very nice list, although Cosmos should've been on it, IMHO.

I wonder if Headmasters would count, since their heads are very visible. :lol:

I was looking at my Generations Brainstorm and wondering that myself a day or so ago. I guess it depends...

On one hand, when the head transforms into something else (such as Sky Lynx's cockpit) I wouldn't call that a visible head. And Headmasters' heads all do transform into little pilot figures.

On the other hand... most of those times, those pilot figures have a giant upside down face on their backs!

So... Six of one, half a dozen of another, I suppose!

That list is on it's way

It will be a top 10 though, because I feel a top 5 would just repeat a bunch of stuff from other lists (a top 10 might too). The movie line does have some really great toys. I will also make it for just the 1st trilogy to keep options for other lists. Or maybe I could split it into top 10 toys of characters not in the film and another 10 list of characters in the film :-?

Or a top 5 of each. Anyway, that list is being done

Oh and Megatronus, ROTF Megatron was mentionned: http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/top-5-worst-cases-of-visible-head-syndrome-among-transformers-toys-t104938.php#p1713023 :twisted:

That is an EXCELLENT figure to bring up, it totally works, thanks for mentioning it! (I am glad to have you people!)

FoC Shockwave was a great case of this as well. :APPLAUSE:

I thought it was well hidden (I turn it around

) and while that toy is probably better than every toy on this list (you will see it come back again, guaranteed), I feel the exposed head didnt actually add anything to the toy.

Oh the toy blows, I was just looking at the alt mode (more reasons for it not to be in the top 5). As for it being butch, well he is a male in the original version: Nitro Convoy

Galvatron G1. He's head serves as the barrel for the orange thingie.

Posted: **Mon Aug 10, 2015 8:01 am**

Personally, I would have placed G1 Scourge as #1. I find it very clever. However Skystalker's visible head is pretty cool and it reinforces his name.

Posted: **Mon Aug 10, 2015 10:01 am**

Wow, not even an honorable mention for G1 Omega Supreme?!

I was all ready to point out Generations Scoop, but Yotsuyasan beat me to the punch. :lol:

I tend to lead with my right, but always follow with a left. So here is my left.

One of my favorite and most unfortunate sufferers of said syndrome is Beast Machines, Basic class Quikstrike.

Incase you can't make out the "robot head", let's have a closer look.

...and to make sure you didn't miss it.

Poor little doggy. :lol:

I approve of the pose.

CW Superion (though I cannot take a photo) also approves of your post.

I'd be lying if I said you didn't partially inspire the pose.

At least Superion has a "fly". :lol:

I'm kind of wondering why you would leave Silverbolt's head out on Superion when his head is meant to be folded inside the body. You guys are weird. 8-}

I think we need a scientific name for butt head or is it head butt?.

I would like to add Combiner Wars Rook to that list. I'm watching a review and his head is all out there and yet you would not think so

Posted: **Wed Aug 12, 2015 4:23 pm**

Most Combiner Wars figures but they make up for it with neck rotation

Very true. Aerialbots especially. But they do make up for it

I was just reminded that Classics Mirage drives himself! :lol:

His lil head sits in his drivers seat.

Does that mean there's no chance for a "Top 5 best Transformers toys with inadvertent willies"?

ROTF Ravage's head is visible in his "Vehicle mode" I would state.

Speaking of Ravage though I bought one at a table sale 2nd hand and was surprised to discover that there was a mould variation I was unaware of or simply had never noticed the one I had since 2009 has 1 less joint in the tail than the on I just bought which has an additional point of rotation above the second pin - I would guess this was a 1st run American design feature that they soon altered to less joints to prevent breakage.

But I was surprised as it was a variation I never noticed before and I have at least 6 Movie Ravage toys this was the 1st with that extra joint though.
