Toy Review - Titans Return Hardhead with Furos

[shockNwave]

I like IDW Hardhead's self description, as mobile/reserve artillery rather than tank. Kinda glad we got this guy rather than the planned/rumoured Warpath repaint as the two separate moulds work well for the respective characters.

Having said that, with Hardhead's cannon being removable I'm predicting further uses of this mould/engineering may have different weapons in place

Thank you, prjkt.

I have to admit this guy is pretty good, I was expecting to like Skullcruncher more, but this guy is way better. He's not nearly as obviously hollow and his Titan Master gimmicks work without compromising the overall toy.

Hardhead is the best Hasbro deluxe I've seen in years.

Agreed!

He's full of detail and the he has more paint apps than most deluxes from the last few years. The only complaint I can think of is that I wish he was upscaled as a voyager.

I'm glad he's not a voyager. At deluxe size the toys hollowness and other flaws are acceptable to me, when it gets to the $50 price point I except a bit more from my toys.

On the tank wars, I've always considered Hardheads alt mode, mobile artillery rather than a battle tank, I mean he can'r very well traverse that huge cannon of his to engage his foes easily, unlike Warpath.

Mobile artillery is definitely a better and more accurate description than battle tank.

Picked this toy up today, really impressed. I'm hoping that hasbro/TT repaint and retool him as BM tankor aka, "fat tankor"

Feeli like I've had enough time to mess about with him to form a good opinion on him.

Man, this is a great toy! AS I said before, I got the Legends version of Hardhead and while I was in two minds about how I'd feel about the head having the mouth, I really like the mouth over the masked version. Which is odd, as I have the G1 toy and thought the head sculpt was great.

I initially skipped him as I thought the tanks wasn't tanky enough, but as others have said, he is more like a mobile artillery vehicle and I like that definition. Especially since his firepower isn't over the moon. I kind of see him as a Batmobile sort of vehicle now, fast, armoured and has some decent blammo to him, but when compared to say warpath, or Brawl, he loses out on power but makes up in speed.

The thing that pushed me to get this guy despite my reservations on the vehicle mode were the shots of the robot mode. His root mode just looks so good! I do wish he came with two rifles though.

I much prefer TTs colours too. While I complained about it in my review, the elbow beige breaks up the arms rather nicely and the consistent thigh colour avoids him looking like he's running around in a pair of boxer briefs. Which I can't unsee after Gok's photo!

If all the deluxes are up to this standard, it's gonna be hard to resist them!

My blog review with a LOT of pictures. I got soooo carried away!

Well, he is a space tank.
