You must have been overseas or had access to taped episodes from overseas if you saw it as a kid, cos The Headmasters was never aired in Australia (or available on video, laserdisc etc.). I was already a young adult when I saw The Headmasters... got the entire series on VHS recorded off laser disc which I swapped for the Beast Machines Dinobots (which were never released in Japan, so some dude in Tokyo wanted them). So yeah... I was already an adult and was pretty critical of that scene.Originally Posted by SuspectimusPrime
I really enjoyed that fight for some reason. I think it's because I watched it as a kid and prior that fight, my only other TF-exposure was G1 Season 1 & 2 which did not have that sort of Japanese violence (or J-rock, which sounded pretty cool to me as a kid).
*sigh* I no longer have a working NTSC VCR... I really should get my Headmasters tapes converted onto DVD because the existing DVD version has some stuff cut out of it that the LD version has. I might be more motivated if The Headmasters wasn't such a cruddy series.
So did you watch it in Japanese or in that godawful English dub? (Billy!) I never saw the English dubs until I got the DVD... I watched a few seconds, then that was it. <shudder> Never thought that I'd see a dub that makes the dubbing in Macross Clash of the Bionoids look good. <extreme.shudder>
