    unfortunately, hasbro wont bother to make him a headmaster - so it'll be up to 3rd parties once again :/

    i think it'll be headrobots to do the head since they did the universe hardhead version. but after the 'gyro' crap i hope they dont.

    What happened re: gyro? Cause I thought it initially sold out but they did another listing a few days later. Did something further happen with that??

    Makes sense with the whole hardhead thing to reuse the mold but I would've preferred some other character. I already have a hardhead from headrobot's onslaught mold upgrade. :/

    Would they really do another Hardhead after repainting Universe Onslaught? I suppose they could considering it's a different size class much like the Warpaths.

    This is pretty cool. I never liked the universe hardhead- seemed way too large and out of scale with other classics figs. While the upgrade was cool- still didn't fix the size + with it being so pricey...

    This I can get behind. Will it come as a headmaster? If not, I'm sure head robots or some 3rd party group can give it an actual headmaster and a nice shoulder cannon that plugs into the missile launcher. Maybe even guns that use the clip system in tank mode.

    There is just so much potential with the fig.

    But is it possible to make it a headmaster? At deluxe size, even a square head would be really tiny.

    Hope they eventually do all of the headmasters too!

    A repaint toy will never be a Headmaster. The only way we'll get a Headmaster is if a toy is designed as such originaly.

    Depending how long the CHUGa train keeps going I could forsee them doing new toys with transforming heads for important characters like Chromedome, United Goshoota/Siren and Nightbeat/United Minerva, and rather than more obscure ones like Hardhead.

    Warpath's chest cannon is too distinctive but the colours might make it work. I really liked IDWs Hardhead redesign.

    Not a good body choice for Hardhead. It's too distinctly Warpath.

    I think that Hardhead is a lot less obscure than Minerva, Gosshoota and Siren.

    not exactly, though i assume it sold out quick anyway. but it would have been fine as a 2pack release with Blood but yeah limiting the numbers and only purchasable through one site which charged shipping to Australia about as much as they were asking for the Gyro set pretty much meant $%^! off from me.

    in my opinion - if it was a solid release and got good reviews, people would go out of their way to acquire the 2pack ROTF W+B just so they can get the custom heads/weapons.

    It'll never contend with this:



    I'm with Kup, The Deluxe Warpath is way too distinctly Warpath.
    Pricey as it may be - Universe 2.0 Hardhead + Headrobots Hothead is far closer to the original G1 look and feel.

    Head on!... Head On!... Head On!
