But it's the big toys (Deluxes/Voyagers/Leaders/etc.) that are what Hasbro markets the most. The big toys are what they want to sell. If the heads are the main characters, then that would turn Hasbro's marketing strategy upside-down and inside-out on itself since that's essentially saying for them to market Cyberverse toys over the more bigger, more-expense-to-make main line toys, and where's the profit to be made in doing that?xyl360 wrote:That's my point, the bots aren't the characters at all, the heads are ! It's like Power Rangers and such where the main focus is on the actual human characters who "drive" the Zords/giant robots, not the giant robot bodies they inhabit/use. That's what the Japanese Transector concept was all about (as you rightly pointed out) and that's what I'd like to see for Headmasters because it makes the most sense to me (a headless body with a personality always seemed kinda weird to me unless you're in Sleepy Hollow ).
So basically you'd have armies of "head" bots who are the good guys and the bad guys and they use these transforming vehicles/whatever as their weapons to fight their war and it just so happens that these vehicles they use (and steal from one another, hence the head-swapping) transform into robots who they control by transforming into their heads.
Think Diaclone, it's a lot like that.
