Combat Biography of Walmart Exclusive Transformers Universe Hardhead

I really get a kick out of the shield markings, especially with that hand drawn list of crossed out "kills". It reminds me of Leader Deep Desert Brawl's Autobot kill list on the front tank section.

Thanks to Seibertron member jrgreer74, who helped to extract Hardhead's biography from the blurr image.

"HARDHEAD LIVES TO FIGHT- SO MUCH THAT LIFE WITHOUT A WAR ON SEEMS POINTLESS TO HIM. HE WOULD
BE THE PERFECT SOLDIER IF ONLY HE COULD JUST TAKE ORDERS. UNFORTUNATELY, HE'S TOO STUBBORN TO
FOLLOW ANY COMMAND HE DOESN'T AGREE WITH, AND TOO DENSE TO APPRECIATE THE SUBTLETY OF STRATEGY. WHY ENGAGE IN A FLANKING MANEUVER, HE REASONS, WHEN THERE'S PERFECTLY GOOD OPEN GROUND OVER WHICH TO MOUNT A CHARGE? MORE THAN A FEW BATTLES HAVE STARTED EARLY BECAUSE HE
COULDN'T WAIT FOR THE COMMANDERS TO MAKE THEIR PLANS, AND SIMPLY CHARGED IN, GUNS BLAZING."

By the by, Onslaught looks really good with Armada Prime's BFG.

From photos and seeing the Hasbro Onslaught in person, I prefer the less G1 accurate colours because they seem less garish. The more muted colours of the Hasbro Onslaught works better in my eyes for the alt mode as it makes it more convincing as a heavy duty vehicle.

Personally I use Powermaster Prime's dual-barrelled gun. Works well.

He looks good with the original G1 Onslaught's gun. The G1 green gun is just slightly off from the olive green on the Universe version.





Onslaught's gun on eBay:

i don't know, I still like the Henkei or takara Tomy version's colors.. we could always spray paint the original G1 Onslaught's gun a nice black finish..if one were to go that route instead...

saves one cash and is easily done.. especially if one were to buy that gun loose..

I think his bio just made me wanna get this figure when it comes out, as if the shield alone wasn't enough.
