More on topic though; I now have my first two Headmasters in my collection - Skullcruncher and (my fav) Hardhead. Unfortunately cruncher is missing his elusive tail, but the hunt is always good fun hehe

On the lookout for TM scourge, misfire, triggerhappy and big ole fort max now. The most expensive ones methinks. Can't wait to get hold of fortress maximus. I've never had one and holding it will be a childhood dream come true. There will be tears I tells ya. Tears of awesomeness

hehehhe good luck with the tail bit, Ill keep a lookout whoopy. Oh and yeah having a Fortmax will bring tears to you, either by 1) waaahh Im so happy I finally nailed this guy! 2) ooops I dropped him on my toe, waaaaaaah i think it got cut off!! 3) waaaaaaah this is so big, I feel like I won the lotto, but why am I so poor?!?

HD more close up pics soon hehehe, hmm sticky ei. Tried wiping them with alcohol wipes and leave to air out a bit ( away from the sun of course )

Aww come on, you need to start memorising those names!

Icepick --> Gouryuu
Slog --> Kakuryuu (sooo cuuute!)
Bristleback --> Gairyuu
Wildfly --> Yokuryuu
Birdbrain --> Rairyuu
Scowl --> Doryuu

Make sure you've memorised all that correctly by Sunday, or All Your Dino Force Are Belong To Me! \(^0^)/

Time to make yourself a set of Dino Force flash cards and play some memory games.

hmmm... you got a point there.

I guess I just can't remember the names because it's difficult to associate them with each robot... it's all very similar to me...

Quickswitch.
Unfortunately he is missing his stickers. Before I cleaned him up (very dirty!) he had a couple but they were tatty and looked like they had been applied by a blind retarded chimp. So I removed them all, bar the two little Autobot symbols. Cleaned up well though.
I really like this figure and feel that he is very underrated; and its a pity he wasnt used more in comics.
Sure some of his modes are weak, but so are some of the triple changers, and they only have 3. This guy has 6. Nice satisfying clicks on all the moving bits and quite a sturdy little toy. I'm a fan. Dont care what anyone else thinks.
