The thing that I have with retconning G1 characters as all being a certain sub-class, such as Gestalts or Headmasters, is that it makes that sub-class feel less special. This is why the Optimus Maximus gestalt team doesn't interest me. Similarly if they're going to start making non-Headmasters into Headmasters, then being a Headmaster in the first place is going to feel less special to me. It's reminiscent of Syndrome's plan in The Incredibles; he wanted to make it possible for everyone to be special, to be a superhero -- because, "...when everyone's super... no one will be."

Yes, but Energon Omega Supreme is a completely different character from G1 Omega Supreme. But I take your point that they could develop the one base mould to service both versions of the character to make more money off it. Also, having a removable head may also be advantageous if they ever do a GADEP/Guardian Robot repaint, as people can recreate the headless Guardian Robot resurrected by Shockwave in the G1 episode, War Dawn. But I don't know how much market appeal these redecoes would have. G1 eHobby GADEP was reportedly a shelf-warmer and was later sold at reduced prices.
