Always confused me how they had four Autobot Headmasters yet only three Decepticon Headmasters. Throwing in the Horrorcons never helped either.

In any case the more I look at Weirdwolf and Skullcruncher the more I need them. Mindwipe's cool too but not quite as omg need as the other two.

Is it just me or does it seem like if you painted Weirdwolf's gun black it'd make an amazing Fusion Cannon?

I was going to skip all 3 but all 3 have turned out awesome and then I watched the Headmasters cartoon and need them.

And yes, it would make an excellent fusion cannon

It should be the law that any bad ass cannon is a fusion cannon.

I know it's Megatron's signature weapon but I really want to see more characters use them Autobot or Decepticon.

[Noideaforaname]

Oh sure, they can paint those little circles on Weirdwolf's chest to evoke the screw holes on the original, but of course they don't do anything to the little Headmasters...


I do like how Weirdwolf's made up of multiple layered parts (shoulders and wolf head), something that seems to have otherwise vanished in today's figures. He's even got the little hinged panels that hide away his robot hands! Where have THOSE been?!

[Ultimate Weapon1]

I still prefer Hasbro's skullcruher, hardhead, and Galvatron, over Takara's, but I do think Takara's Blurr is better looking than Hasbro's.

[Decepticon Stryker]

Okay, I know I'm probably going to anger some G1 fans but: Weirdwolf's altmode is bad. Just look at those legs! They're so short and stumpy! That doesn't look terrifying, it looks like he swapped them with another guy who has a gerbil altmode. TR version is better though.

Well, there is Tarn who has a double fusion cannon and now Megawife who has a fusion rail gun

Therefore it looks...


...weird.


Maybe it didn't look as strange on the same side of the '87 checklist as Sixshot, whose "wolf" mode always struck me as more of a Tiger-headed polar bear. So many fans have argued Ravage being a dog over the years, but I'd never heard the first two actual TF canines called into question before tonight.

And as for the new guy's gun, I think it's far more interesting in it's current color, especially on the back of an orangish-yellow quadruped, because it looks a LOT like Sinnertwin's cannon:

Which gives me (possibly misplaced) hope that Prime Wars will roll out the Beastalt-teams that Combiner Wars lacked! Titan-master weapons being reused on Terrorcons, who in turn get remolded into Monster Pretenders...or possibly just the Dino Force if Takara's current pattern of picking up Hasbro's slack continues. Seriously, look Platinum LioKaiser in the eye and tell him it couldn't happen.

Just saw Wire and Wipe at Walgreens 2 hours ago; no Brainstorms yet, but this was the first I'd seen of wave 2 in my neck of Michigan.

Never mind, wrong thread.

if you count cerebros, apeface, snapdragon and scorponok you would have 5 autobots and 6 decepticon headmasters

[Emerje]

You forgot Fort Max bringing the count to six and six. Then there's another three each in '88.

Are we really counting Cerebros and Fort Max separately

They are technically both Headmasters.

But you can't have them fight separately, though.

At least, not without Fort Max being headless (which kinda defeats the point of his being a Headmaster).

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Having now presented to you our galleries of all the standard Headmaster figures, it's time we delved into the realms of the new and the interesting.

Our latest gallery presented to you today is that of the crazy-as-all-get-out-purple-people-smasher leader of the Decepticons from Season 3 of the original Transformers cartoon and the sometimes leader from the Headmasters cartoon: Legends Galvatron! Galvatron is the Takara version of the Hasbro released Titans Return Galvatron with Nucleon, featuring, among other things, a lighter shade of purple for his paint scheme. He also comes with his Headmaster pal Megatron, who features a much more detailed paint scheme than his Hasbro counterpart, Nucleon.

You can check out the whole gallery by clicking any of the below images. Let us know what you think of this latest iteration of the big bad Decepticon Emperor of Destruction in the comments section, and as always stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers News and Galleries!

Isn't that true for all Headmasters, though? Beasides, it's not like Fort Max needs a head for his alt modes.

Funny how the one time hasbro goes for the cartoon colors instead of G1 toy colors, it comes out better than takara's attempt.

[RiddlerJ]

I hate how it looks like they put no thought into the jet mode other than letting the nose do all the work. The way the legs just splay out at odd angles bugs me.

I tried to see if I could utilize those panels on the boots to at least cover the thighs. It just feels like a little effort could've made a better jet. Heck, they could've just left the boots how they are for cannon mode and just gave him some flip out wings or something.

It's... kind of ironic. Your post was meant to critique his jet mode, yet those pictures have quickly sold me on the jet mode and made me fall in love with it.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

It's also made me decide to try out that fan jet mode.

Note that The legs aren't tabbed to anything. I'm just relying on the tightness of the joints.

Good thing mine are tight too

They were counting how many whole Headmasters each faction had in the original line.

Autobots: 5 - Cerebros/Fort Max, Chromedome, Hardhead, Brainstorm, Highbrow
Decepticons: 6 - Scorponok, Skullcruncher, Mindwipe, Weirdwolf, Apeface, Snapdragon

Your counting Cerebros and Fort Max separately didn't make sense in that regard since one is a piece of the other's whole.

[Evil Eye]

Yeesh, that is VERY lavender.
