Question though, what do you call Headmasters, the small figures that turn into heads or the larger figures as a whole?

I feel Hasbro was smart with giving a distinctive name to the small heads, calling them titan masters, so as not to confuse over that also being the name of the larger figures, which it isnt.

The "heads" of course. That's why I mentioned Hb and Takara really did give them good head impressions. Now if the background of them figures be changed( originally, Hb storyline is that man and machine are finally working together into one ala diaclone(?) as in Rebirth and the Marvel Comic) with the figures now being totally mechanical or something, then why have a head stuck on your back? Still a headmaster. Maybe Hb no longer has the TM on the term Headmaster?

Then Takara creates that Planet Master background with them, the Headmasters being at first non transforming Cybertronsbefore the transtectors, the figs are still Headmasters in my opinion which means nothing of course in the grand scheme of Primus.......

That appears to be Cybertron/Galaxy Force Metroplex. No clue why he's there at all, but if they're re-issuing him I can't complain.

Galaxy Force came out in 2004 - would be a strange time to celebrate it, especially with much more significant and popular series like Micron Legend.

Yuki sometimes posts random posts with random figures, they mean nothing.

On topic, TT's cerebros is so bland and uninteresting, shame.

Totally disagree. Fortress looks like he stepped right out of the Headmasters cartoon.. I like him so much better than the mishmash of colors on Cerebros.

Well, that's fine; it's just like the character himself.

Oh, wow, Highbrow's Takara face looks derpy up-front...

In any case, are those ankle tilts I see on Mindwipe and Domey?

Once again thats the toon accuracy which also happens to be the same colours found on the G1 toy. That si my main pet peeve with the G1 toy so I am not fond of it here, but I understand where it comes from. Its really cool that people have options like this which isnt the case in any other toy line.

Did Cyberpath post a Galvatron comparison chart? I assume I missed it way back, so if someone could post a link I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Looks like Takara is going with the preliminary shade of purple while Hasbro is going for the final shade, which I like better. Though I do wish Hasbro painted the head, especially the crest. I'm kind of surprised Hasbro didn't go with the toy colors, but I'm glad they didn't.

I just watched Emgo review our favorite unstable leader and find myself wishing Hasbro had spoken with him first because that face crest plate thing needed to extend to the arms to have any attempt at cohesion.

Also, I think the chest might get retooled to have an actual head for a platinum release a few years down the road. I can't imagine one of the companies not doing something for some anniversary. I don't think they would release it again with the Titan Master gimmick at that time. But I could be wrong.
