This (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Mindwipe_%28ROTF%29), my good sir, is Revenge of The Fallen (Voyager Class) Mindwipe - A very awesome figure and I highly recommend. ;):cool:

[Tallestblue]

Well. those are kind of awesome, yes.

[Lord_Zed]

Pretty cool, though in the case of the helicopter one, his helicopter chest the best transformation feature of the toy is lost.

I agree, Skyhammer is excellently design and I also like how the spinning blades integrates into the chest. There is a reason why that toy sold relatively well despite no movie appearance. Another show of 'Good toys sell themselves'.

I guess for those who care about the design but still want the upgrade, a second figure would be in order if obtainable.

Grabbed a DOTM Skyhammer off ebay for around $30 bucks including shipping.. don't know if that's a great deal or not...

And now I regret not buying Mindwipe cause its freaking hard to find anywhere and the prices are pretty high on Ebay- don't know whether I should buy or wait...

and Universe Hardhead which I put off getting is no where to be seen...


Who is "Tauros" meant to represent? Is it horri-bull?

Oddly enough I was just dusting of some of my old expanded movie universe toys today and thinking about re purposing them as multiverse Transformers. Skyhammer, Mindwipe, Hubcap, Deadend, and Breacher are all examples of toys that were awesome in their own right.

Depending on the cost and how seriously this upgrade requires altering the toy, I might get it.

Someone should make a laser sword for movie Hubcap too.

All 3rd party upgrades that I have seen (with the exception of a very early one) have been fully reversible not requiring you to alter the toy in any way as they are basically add on parts. I don't see Headrobots requiring any permanent changes since none of their upgrades have so far.

Re-purposing toys seem to be a very popular practice at the moment both official and unofficial. IDW has been doing it for G1 character models and FunPub/Botcon has been doing it for Shattered Glass. It is a more fun way to collect I reckon that adhering to often ill conceived 'toy fiction' ideas from Hasbro.

Oh man, I bloody well want that Mindwipe kit!!! :eek::D:cool:

Think i might get both :P

[liegeprime]

So glad I grabbed both figures:D. Both are in storage though coz Ive wiped out from display ( about a year and half now) all Bayverse movie toys.... well some Bayverse movie toys still are on display with the Classics (eg. Bludgeon) The mindwipe toy is by itself even if not aligned to the Bayverse lore is a very good toy with that added combination gimmick with Skystalker sure is value for money when I got it - it was on sale at Big W:D (shouldve gotten 2).

Does Darksol's new head actually transform like the add-on sets for Universe Onslaught?

A bit hard to discern from the white prototype plastic.

It seems to transform since it's headmaster. However I am not sure if it has just a bat mode or a robot/nebulan mode too.

[KalEl]

im going to buy a few headrobots sets next week :P

It's frustrating huh? - I'm dying to see some new pics of these guys! :o

Excellent, which ones man? :cool:

[SuspectimusPrime]

Definitely got fingers crossed for a head that transforms into a robot/nebulan, but these pics don't leave much to speculate with...

The back of the head looks a little light and empty? I don't see much room for robot legs, which would probably be the most complex part of the robot mode, and will probably call for 40-50% of its plastic to support a standing robot with knee joints.

Seems like the rodent face for bat mode is just snapped on top of the robot face?
The three variations in robot heads seems to reflect on the designer trying to incorporate the change from robot face to rodent face.

Personally I would prefer a tiny transformer capable of infiltrating Autobot bases and doing awesome ninja jumps (Transformers Headmasters - Death of Ultra Magnus episode? - left me very confused/saddened as a kid).

Ah! - Both excellent choice! :D:cool:

Just OOC, does anyone know what's going on with these babies?
I was kinda looking forward to that DarkSol but with no news in roughly a year, when it was at the prototype stage, it doesn't seem encouraging.:(

It has been QUITE a while huh? - You're not alone if you're starting to lose hope dude. :(

[kup]

Headrobots have become a little quiet although they only recently released Drone which went a bit under the radar with mixed results.

It is possible that they are unable to keep up with the bigger 3rd parties which seem to be dominating at the moment.

[Hursticon]

They're Alive! :eek::p:D


Vangelus has put up a couple of vids from the "CP3P: Hotel Room Show" :p -

Here's a look at Iguana & Ronin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-xlNUl2vE8).

[kup]

Yep, back from the dead :)

I wouldn't mind that Iguana guy.

[reillyd]

Kinda diggin the iguana, and I'm a sucker for a good head

Just read that back. Way too suss to leave uncorrected. Good head for a headmaster. Get your mind out of the gutter, dude!
