There are rarely times when I'm glad I only have a shallow understanding of Japanese culture, but I think this might be one of them.
And I don't want it explained.

The second picture is inexplicably causing me to want a Transformers/Squidgirl crossover. It's not even a Squidgirl character, how does that work?

My first instinct upon seeing the second pic was that Hardhead was drawing a picture of the anime girl on the ground, either with sidewalk chalk or with normal art materials on a large canvas, as though Hardhead was part of some anime art class or something.

I really wish the hasbro version had this guy's head. A repaint of the takara version would make a decent idw crankcase, I think. I'm not to familiar with the titans return products coming our way, is there any word if some heads will be sold separately, or is each one unique to a body? Maybe then this hardhead's head will show up stateside and I can finally start making semi accurate versions of the scavengers

Huh, I didn't realize this guy had a different head with a mouth. Well now alongside Blurr that's the second Takara version of a TR figure I want...
I can at least trust if they make Brainstorm without a faceplate I won't want it. That's just not right to me

I like this this hardheads head so much better. The mouth just looks better

Yeah, it's going to be interesting to see how things play out with Brainstorm. He did have a mouth in the "Headmasters" cartoon, but he's more iconic to me with the mouthplate. I think the decoes between Hasbro and Takara will play a big part in which face type I choose, though if it does end up that Takara has a vastly superior deco (odds are in favor of this, honestly) sporting his full face, I'll have to go that route. At least with IDW in recent years we've seen Brainstorm a few times with his mouthplate removed, revealing his mouth underneath. So, there IS precedence for the mouthplate-less look in some western G1 media.

I could see Takara giving Brainstorm a new mouthed head for two reasons: 1) show-accuracy to The Headmasters cartoon, and 2) Japan already got a mouthplated Brainstorm with the Voyager mold, so a mouthed version of the Deluxe mold would be something different for that market.Wolfman Jake wrote:Kurona wrote:Huh, I didn't realize this guy had a different head with a mouth.

Takara's Skullcruncher also has a different head.

It's a shame that Voyager Brainstorm's head isn't really compatible with these new Headmaster toys.

Well, yeah, but... just the idea of him not having a faceplate period. Sort of how I feel about Optimus; having an actual face for him is good because it allows us to see more expression and emotion, but he really should have a mouthplate. Especially on the toy.

I am perfectly content to get the Hasbro Hardhead, and I don't have any reason to want the little tank drone thing... but gosh darn it they look GREAT together... Err...

Personally, I prefer characters with less face visible. Visor + Mouthplate > Eyes + Mouth

Hmmm...some serious thought on what to do with my Universe voyager Hardhead with Headrobots upgrade.

He's into "moe" just like TFYuki. Just look at his tweets, he's got a thing for LoveLive

Another day ending in Y, another selection of images from TFYuki over on Twitter, as fellow Seibertronian Cyberpath reports, featuring the Takara Tomy Transformers Legends LG22 Skull (Skullsmasher) in both robot and beast mode! You can check out the two photos below, and let us know what you think so far of the Takara take on the Titans Return line in the Energon Pub.
