I love the names they come up with for these guys :D
heheh what a weird name. :D
Oh my, that looks really nice. Mindwipe is my favourite Decepticon Headmaster too.
Saw the transformation video of brain storm by peaugh and it was really well designed. The collapsible chest/cockpit is done really well from what weirdwolf had so I'm looking forward to seeing how they engineer mindwipe.
2nd behind Scorponok for me! :DQuote:

So has anyone come up with an explanation behind: "L.O.O.K.A.T.M.E." yet? :confused::p
W.h.o.k.n.o.w.s.?.
Every time i see the name i think of Kath & Kim
:p
Argh! :eek:Quote:

Nailed it :D
Blah. ROTF Mindwipe leaves this thing for dead.
ROTF Mindwipe while nice is a fail. Not a Bat or Headmaster..Or looks like him.
But still cool :D
Its too bad headrobots really take a long time to release anything as their upgrade kit made rotf mindwipe redeemingQuote:

I like Mindwipe with a stockier build, just like his toy and anime iterations. That being said, both those modes were ridiculously overweight especially the toy.
Also glad they chose not to be anime-cartoon accurate when it came to his face:

TFW has some new pics of Look.at.me (and many other 3P toys too).
I took the liberty of changing the levels so you can see more detail in the black areas:

He looks nice, don't get me wrong, but the touches of green or something are making it look a bit less G1 than X1-3 are. Hopefully now that we've seen colour, he'll be up for order soon!
Decepticon headmasters aren't reall my thing, and the FP headmasters seem 'meh' to me, but that Mindwipe looks great! For the right price, I may actually pick him up.
The 2 Shotguns help :)Quote:

So I cannot wait for this guy to come out, forget finishing Feral Rex, or getting Fanstoy Swoop, this is now my most anticipated toy.
Note to FP make more of these, and faster, and then no the Horrorcons and Targetmaster please. :D
I'm not a big headmaster fan, but damn he looks great! :cool:
$80 from BBTS

This series is just pure win.
^ditto
These 3rd party companies are sending me broke
And I'm trying to get out of classics collecting...
They went the other way and went with the current trend - Dinobots. But I'm pretty sure they're offering would be awesome.Quote:

I wonder if the Hasbro offering of an official headmaster(as seen at Botcon) will effect the overall sales of this guy?
It never really has unless the 3P ends up being crap which given the high standards track record of this line, I highly doubt it.Quote:

I don't have access to the pics I took at Botcon but you get the general idea below:

And this guy does look very good. it's a question of whether this is a one off effort or if it's the start of something more longer lasting.
I like that the headmaster head mode is new but the robot mode is very G1. Also glad his release falls alongside MOTUC Intergalactic Skeletor, pile of loot will hopefully reduce the shipping burden of that from BBTS.
Hasbro is not really consistent so who knows.Quote:
