The fact that Galvatron is a headmaster doesn't bother me, but I will be bothered if he has a springloaded crown/helmet that looks bad from any angle except straight on, and that eliminates any functional articulation at the neck.

I live in the UK which doesn't always even get many of the figures, particularly late wave ones and I picked up Gen Brainstorm at Cambridge branch of Toys R Us a few months back and it was half price too. For me, any figure that appears in that Toys R Us in the past year that isn't RID or CW is surprising as all heck. The headmaster worked absolutely fine (the number on the back of the box confirms it was the later fixed version). I'd actually much prefer more of the original Headmasters in Voyager than shrinking them all to Deluxe. It's whats putting me off Hardhead. I'd much rather have him in Voyager so he can fit in my Voyager group of Autobots that include Springer, Sandstorm, Grimlock and others. Hardhead is probably gonna end up the size of my AoE Deluxe Bee and he really shouldn't. I like my Deluxes to be characters that are meant to be smaller than the norm (with Leader class for the ones the other way)

That's basically my issue, I don't think they're spring-loaded, they were shown off in video's. While most, if not all of them will have y-axis rotation (left and right), none of them appear to actually have x-axis rotation (up and down) which is truly unfortunate, especially when they could have incorporated it into the headmasters

Nope. I live just north of Blackpool. Nearest Toys R Us is Preston, and I have never seen either of those other stores.

I'm in Texas and my nearest Toys-R-Us is about 30 minutes away. I've not been to it yet but it seems to be very small.

Great characters like galvatron, sentinel prime and astrotrain shouldn't be headmasters in the first place.

Sentinel Prime and Astrotrain are "great characters"? Since when?

Sentinel prime was bad ass in megatron origins I loved his power suit like iron man. He valiantly stood against but was ultimately viciously killed by megatron. He was a good predecessor in his nature to optimus and came off really well.

I always liked astrotrain in g1 and idw have given him a nice new lease of life as the grumpy sarcastic transport. I just don't think these characters deserve to be stained by being headmasters.

So they have a removable head, how is that 'being stained' for every person out there against headmasters is another who maybe grew up with them, and has been hoping for these figures, and gimmick to make a comeback

As I said above if you read my comments, the characters mentioned never have been headmasters. Galvatron idw states his hatred for headmasters.

It stains the characters by having a crap gimmick that they never had previously. They're their own character not some body being piloted.

I've no problem with the likes of brainstorm and chromedome and the likes who've always been headmasters to make a return but to make characters like galvatron, sentinel, astrotrain, scourge and blurr into headmasters is hugely disappointing.

So, rid, armada, energon, and cybertron are all garbage because they designed the figures around a central gimmick... I mean, they took G1 Grimlock and made him a raptor in BW, is he forever stained now

Have you considered ordering the TakaraTomy full sets (Unite Warriors) from the likes of HLJ or AmiAmi? Their prices are quite cheap but I've no idea what the shipping would be like from JPY to UK though...

I think the Transformers Brand has made it awfully clear that the only true G1 toys you would be getting are the actual Hasbro G1 toys. If you want moderized G1 and nothing but, then Takara has the Masterpiece line. Outside of G1 and Masterpiece, there are no rules. Where were you guys when Rodimus became a micromaster? Or when Optimus became a triple changer dragon? Or when Blurr was just a retool of Drift as a normal earth car? Thats as much a huge change sicne tha character was always about his fast sleek futuristic altmode. Like making G1 Megatron into a tank instead of a gun, that's an INSANELY HUGE change.

Did we ever actually get an Optimus Prime that was a White Freightliner cab part of the classics line? No. And we wont. Why arent we going cray over that?! The Generations toy are of the G1 characters, sure but that is a starting point, just inspiration, their point is never to actually give you G1 again, because G1 already exists.

To me, this line is the same as Animated, Prime, or the movie line. It's a new take on G1 characters adn thats what it's always been.

You act like this has never occurred before. It's what we do as fans. If you don't like it, then this probably isn't the fandom for you.

I have considered it, but unfortunately I can't afford to spend that much in a single purchase. Wish I could, as I would LOVE to get Bruticus as a complete set. I also expect it to be impossible to get the G2 Menasor and Superion reasonably in the uk.

Maybe you could try going to a convention, or maybe ask someone in the uk sightings thread to help you get them...

That is a fantastic idea, and I would honestly LOVE to get the opportunity to go to a con.. but sadly at the moment financially and physically it's not on the cards. The UK sightings board though, tomorrow I am going to be looking through!

Considering that the figure is based on Powermaster Optimus Prime, in a line where all the little partner figures of the 1987 Headmaster characters are meant to be the very same little partners of those 1987 Headmasters, who else would Powermaster Optimus Prime's little partner be than Hi-Q (even if that name isn't being used) himself?

But now that you say it, Apex looks like a non-human version of Hi-Q. http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Hi-Q

Ah I see your line of thinking now

Prowl4@ you are entitled to your opinion but not expect others to agree with it or that yours is the only one that's right. Hasbro may base designs off the comics and idw but that's as far as they go, we may not understand their thinking but Hasbro has been known to work in mysterious ways.

But something's still not clear to me. When Apex/Hi-Q is now OP's Headmaster, who is Optimus then actually in that story/universe? I don't think that he will appear in that form in the comics because it's the same like with CW Cyclonus: How can Cyclonus and Galvatronus be the same character? Yes, Takara answered that with their UW version, but I think it's just a pretext to make a new version/toy of him. I have nothing against that but I can't really imagine a background story for him that fits to G1 or IDW until it's not something like the story about IDW Ultra Magnus and Minimus Ambus.

Hmm, that's interesting, I had figured it was more widespread considering how much I saw people talking about it. Oh well! If I end up with both of them, I'm sure I'll enjoy them equally and I'll have a brainstorm for both the thrilling 30 and titans return shelves in my collection lol
