So unexpected, but so good!

...now where is Crosshairs, Pointblank and Sureshot???

Kinda bummed that TM's are now HM's, but they look great and will be bought nonetheless. :cool:

As Fatbot said, Misfire needs black head. A lick of paint can fix it

I like the look of Slugslinger, but it looks like his "twin cockpits" are just for show (i.e. fake/non-functional) and the real cockpit is the clear blue one in the middle. I'll still probably get it though. After all, it's Slugslinger! He was voiced by Peter Cullen in Rebirth. Misfire looks very pink.

Cool, can't wait for your views/ report later on

Misfire is a lot pinker than I would like but otherwise cool. Slugslinger looks great!

Wonder if we will see their Autobot equivalents in 2018 or perhaps sooner? Probably.

They might get away with sharing a common base mould for Crosshairs and Pointblank, but Sureshot's gonna be trickier. Still, I didn't think that they'd be able to do anything with the Triggerhappy mould and Hasbro has proven me wrong on that, so who knows... they might be able to work some engineering marvel and manage to squeeze a convincing Sureshot after all. :D The great thing about these retools is that none of them feel forced or contrived. :)

P.S.: Link also didn't work for me. Here's a link to the OzFormers FB page

And if that doesn't work, I've also shared it on Planet Sabretron

P.P.S.: Coincidentally Hasbro are releasing these characters in the same order that I collected them during G1! (Triggerhappy>Misfire>Slugslinger) :)
Although my very first Headmasters were Apeface and Snapdragon.

Link was broken for me, but saw on TFW. I know nothing about these characters/G1 figures, but they look pretty nice.

Slugslinger looks gooooooood.

you have some wrong text in your 'actual' link

I was using a mobile device, so it copied the mobile link... and this board wasn't able to paste the link over text.
People found them eventually anyway... but the rest of my photos will be posted here first, before facebook and other sites.
Just give me a little time - I'll try to do them up in batches so that I get a few out tonight before it gets too late for people.

Not a problem. :)

um yeah didn't mean to sound negative on the whole thing haha. pretty cool that hasbro is doing this again, nice one griffin :)

S'cool. Wasn't at all a criticism, I was just providing alternative links as backup. :)

Congrats Griff. :-) That's a pretty good news score.

A bit of a bummer for me though, as a general collecting rule I try and avoid multiples of the same base mold so I'll need to sort something else out for Triggerhappy or Misfire. Was hoping Misfire would be a Topspin remold/redeco so I could get both.:(
Maybe I can do something with FoC Starscream, it looks like it could make decent Triggerhappy with a little custom work.

Toywise I'd got for Triggerhappy, but characterwise I'd pick Misfire. ;)
I'm gonna go with the rule of Por que no los tres. :p

I wasn't being defensive... I was just noting how frustrating it was for me to do that post, and after three attempts it still failed. :(

Misfire looks really good, and is a fave 9f mine. I still have the G1 toy. :) The color though, is it the same as thr G1 toy?

When Triggerhappy was revealed I was hoping that Slugslinger would soon follow and he has! Eff me he looks awesome. One of my fave G1ers.

Completely agree. Don't get me wrong, I would have loved a little targetmaster buddy but this is still pretty damn good.
