Now we just need the other nine to also get made later on since all ten are now canon.

I wouldn't be surprised if at least some of the others show up in later years, especially if they continue with 2 volumes a year.

I really hope that A3 comes to pass.

I hope they come to pass, I want my Omnibots :grin:

Speaking of Omnibots, a little correction: back in G1, Camshaft's and Downshift's names were switched for Japan, and here it's the same case. JP Camshaft or US Downshift (Wheeljack mold) is in 8th place and JP Downshift or US Camshaft (Ironhide mold) is in last place.

And just for fun I decided to add the percentages: 103.1%. Note I'm counting Smokescreen and Overdrive each as 2.9% as they're tied, not together. :-?

I wish I had another hand so I could give this choice three thumbs down.

I'm done with Headmasters who don't have transforming heads.

I would have liked to see Silverbolt but that's just me.

KICK ON!

I'd get most of those except Alpha Trion and Silverbolt. I'm curious to see how many of these we'll actually see.

by **gothsaurus** » Tue Jul 22, 2014 10:18 am

Yeah, I have to say... I'd probably have picked them up if they did them as a line. They should do an omnibot box set... and a diaclone box set.

Bit of trivia about the Silverbolt toy, had it been made, it would have been called "Metals Silverbolt", being a Transmetal 2 body for him.

Sabrblade: was there plans for vac-metal bits on him?

I'd love to see Classics-verse versions of the Omnibots, but I didn't like the suggested repaints offered here.

Why Transmetal 2? It's more like a regular symmetric Transmetal body (with the wolf/eagle bits probably switching positions) without the third mode.

My guess is that the Fuzors were considered akin to the regular Transmetals, level-wise, with an upgraded Silverbolt being akin to the next step in Beast Wars body forms: Transmetal 2.

Goshooter should have been made from the Drift/Blurr mold.

News Credits: 3557 · by **Seibertron** » Tue Jul 22, 2014 11:39 am

Goshooter had better use the new Nightbeat head, since that would be screen accurate. It'd be a waste for them not to use that head ... other Goshooter will just have a Bumblebee head.

It will use the Nightbeat head. Takara didn't have any stock photography of Nightbeat to recolor (since they haven't released that version of the figure), so they had to recolor their TG26 Bumblebee Goldbug stock photo instead.

It should look something like this:

I agree.

Well million publishing lost a possible costumer today, oh well.

I'm so damn tired of non-headmaster headmasters, especially after hasbros brainstorm and funpubs scorpinok. Someone somewhere im the development process in hasbro and takara (I know million publishing distributes these figures but that's besides the point) should say we should leave the headmasters on the backburner until we can make them have heads that turn into little men from this point on.

by **gothsaurus** » Tue Jul 22, 2014 12:38 pm

Yeah, working headmasters would be amazing.

As a side note, I have to say... even with the club/botcon's limitations by Hasbro/Takara (i.e. which molds, characters, how many retools, etc.) — they really knocked that Scorponok out of the park. That G1 retool head looks the best out of ANY of the original G1 heads. Seeing it side-by-side with the old ones really accentuates how good it looks.

Out of all the old gimmicks, the headmaster one had the best playability. You could change the traits, look, and personality of the figures... team them up... swap around. It had deep reaching implications... more so than just swapping a weapon. (and the Pretenders were a bit too He-Man looking in their odd, mustached bodies.)

I'd love to see the headmaster gimmick brought back as a main line for Generations so we could actually swap heads... I'd like this more than any other gimmick.

That... and real Omnibots.

Goshooter is not a Headmaster anymore.

News Credits: 14 · by **DecepticonFinishline** » Tue Jul 22, 2014 12:39 pm

Oh, god, why?! That mold is my least favorite mold since.... Well gosh, I don't even know when. That mold is just sooo terrible. It's absurdly rare for me to like a Transformer in Alt Mode than in Robot Mode... Even though I AM happy to have an official Goldbug Goldfire, that mold is just the pits.

Alpha Trion needed to win.

Hmm, so Elvis did do "no drugs"?

In all seriousness, at the end of the Masterforce cartoon, every "-master" type Transformer became fully living beings that no longer relied on their toy gimmicks to transform or be alive, save for Hydra and Buster who were a different case.
