Got this kit a few months ago and was wanting to post pics but only got round to it now! I think it's a very nice little upgrade kit, and for $16 from RK is rather reasonable.

ROTF Voyager Bludgeon is one of those special figures that come along occasionally... a burst of fresh creativity and passion that almost palpably infuses a TF toy. What this kit does is address two of the obvious weaknesses in an otherwise very good toy - the ugly head that doesn't look like G1 or anything else, and those bendy plastic swords that have a tendency to be anything but straight.


Ah, the magic of chrome... the swords are a massive improvement, and for me they are very nicely reminiscent of the Gundam Astray Red Frame model (one of the most popular and coolest of all time).


We even get a choice of faces, but I think this full skull look is definitely the better compared with the jawless look of the alternative face. I took a Gundam marker to mine, filling in the recesses and then rubbing it mostly off with a cotton bud to get the increased contrast which I think enhances the look. The helmet is also an improvement over the original, but it's loose, so is guaranteed to fall off in transformation, and is also difficult to keep in place in the recess where the head sits in tank mode. Additionally, the color of the brown doesn't quite match the original. These, so far, are the only weaknesses of the kit I have to complain about.

Overall, I'd give this Headrobots kit 8/10.
