Centurion has left the factory awhile ago and will be arriving in hand to distributors very soon!
We want to share the next generation of headrobots so there is time to buy the bodies.
For darksol, the head and figure can now turn into bat. It will come with a cape, there are a lot of parts and it is still being refined, you can see some of our development and how dramatically parts change, this has been in refinement for over a year and it will keep getting refined until we are happy.
Savant is complete though no tooling has been started.
We are excited to announce a limited run of Courageous recolor of Centurion. Like the Gyro resin kit this is limited to 200 pieces to megatoyfan. Unlike Gyro this is injection molded ABS plastic on clamshell with exclusive card. The set comes with two heads, two head adaptors, and a blue colored clear sword. For last year a lot of people were upset about not being able to buy, this year keep in mind:
FRIDAY, MARCH 30. Sales start 3 PM central time. Courageous will be listed up in batches throughout the day and into Saturday if necessary.

And now the prices of Mindwipe and Skyhammer skyrocket...
Couragous doesn't interest me, hopefully the others will see a wider release.

They both looks sweet, but for some reason, I feel each upgrade sorta detracts some of the already great elements. With Mindwipe, the Vehicle mode is much uglier, but I guess you can just take the guns off and let Vorath fly around in his own bat mode. And for Skyhammer, the rotor blades in vehicle mode destroy the Hind chopper appeal, and also detract the robot modes neat arrangment of the propperlors. But... I am a sucker for headmasters, so I will probably DEFINITELY get Darksol... Just so that I atleast have the sweet option to give him a real bat mode. Also, kudos to headrobots matching the purple.
EDIT: Hmm, just realized Vorath doesn't have a robot mode.... don't know if I like that too much

Check Targets and Walmarts, I just found Skyhammer for $15 last week at a Target.
May try to find another one now.

Same here. Both Darksol & Savant look potentially really cool, but too bad both figures are the completely wrong color for the homages.

I wonder if Hasbro has considered a Highbrow repaint of Skyhammer.
Now might be a good time, are you listening Hasbro??? You too can profit off 3rd parties. Unlike Hardhead where the upgrade came out when the figure was mostly off shelves. Now if you put out the repaint to take advantage of the upgrade you can sell a lot of figures. However it wont happen because it would be like condoning 3rd party practices.

This shows a big step up for the HeadRobots crew, and I am looking forward to picking up the Darksol upgrade! So many extra pieces, I love the use of the fan-mode for a giant bat, and also good job on filling that huge gap in Mindwipe's chest.
Savant looks cool too. So, HR is really trying to get us new versions of all HeadMasters. Woo!

I'll have to get myself another Mindvipe then, because this set looks awesome but I really like the original head.
I have no probs with sacrificing the copter for Highbrow, I'm sure Hasbro will release a repaint in better colours anyway down the line.

Yep, I have all of MaidenJapan's stuff except for the latest head and waist armor, which I have an order in for. It's awesome stuff, but it takes a loooooong time to get your parts. I fully understand why, but if Headrobots put out a set I would be all over it.

I hope Headrobots has decided to pass on that Skullgrin pic we saw. I'm sure the Banzaitron and Centurion rehashes will come out before these two. As for a junkion set, I'd say 10 is a good number. Even if you don't have 10 Junkions, collectors could split a box. It would be awesome. I wonder what you could upgrade to get a Brainstorm and Chromedome classics?....

I'm not going to bother picking up another Mindwipe or Skyhammer. With these upgrades they will earn the prestigious honor of relocating from the "movies" shelves to the "classics" shelves. No greater achievement can be earned by a movie figure.

If you read Seibertron.com's year in review you'd know that Skyhammer is one of my favourite figures of all time. The only problem I had was his rotors sticking out the back.
They just fixed that.
Awesome.
(They need to mold a plug to cover up the hole for his old rotors though)

Seeing as most of you may well know my complete and total hatred for the movie lines and their designs, it may come as a surprise that I own both of these. It may also come as a surprise that the only thing I dislike about them is their heads... or maybe not I don't know.
My only problem with this is that what originally drew me to Skyhammer was the wicked backswept rotary blades on his torso.

Hasbro should personally invite Headrobots to sell things at Botcon while being fed chocolates and champagne by Aaron Archer himself; these guys do so much to sell backstock of figures that weren't quite "there" on original release.

Although I'm with my brother on these guys, I must say I am a slight bit disappoint that these 2 got new Headmasters first over something like Energon Scorponok/Dark Scorponok. I do hope they have plans for him though.

So this..!!!
The transition from Movieverse to Classics has become a more entertaining option since the addition of add-on sets and such like (Hello Shapeways!).
These look superduper!
The Mindwipe upgrade looks freakin awesome, loving the 'Bat' mode and that head is a treat!
I love Skyhammer in his current mode but the cheeky upgrade to Highbrow is a great idea. With reference to a repaint, there was a KO of Skyhammer floating around in white. A touch up with some blue paint would make this homage update spot on in my opinion, although tracking said KO down is another thing!

You can take apart his cockpit canopy and paint it in transparent red. I'm sure that'll help ignore the different blue.

If someone would just mass-produce something similar to what MaidenJapan is doing, then yeah, that's a no brainer.
Yep, I have all of MaidenJapan's stuff except for the latest head and waist armor, which I have an order in for. It's awesome stuff, but it takes a loooooong time to get your parts. I fully understand why, but if Headrobots put out a set I would be all over it.

These sets are looking really well, especially if they aren't even finalized. As always, I can't wait to see them in color. Well played HeadRobots. Now, get these out in a timely fashion.

I don't have a Skyhammer and I'm not a fan of Highbrow but I'll get them anyway. Though this saves me from having to make a Headmaster for Mindwipe myself. Having trouble getting mine into a good bat form but I'd be focusing on robotmode anyway.
Of course, all this is hypothetical at this point. They have no intention of releasing them anytime soon, after all.

Actually I meant because mine got a damaged leg in the shelf-alanche of '11 and I haven't tried fixing yet.

Two of the coolest figures to come from the movie line are now getting even cooler. I need a back up Mindwipe now.
I'm not going to bother picking up another Mindwipe or Skyhammer. With these upgrades they will earn the prestigious honor of relocating from the "movies" shelves to the "classics" shelves. No greater achievement can be earned by a movie figure.
'Tis true.

Oh no that sucks! Better get one now. If these upgrades do indeed get produced, the cost of both Mindwipe and Skyhammer is going to climb seriously.
I feel your pain about the shelves. A while back I thought it would be cool to display all my figures with their spring loaded weapons charged right? Looked cool. Until one day my cat rubbed up on a shelf, firing a missile across the room that started in international shelf incident. After 2 hours of cleanup and rearranging, the only victim was my G1 Spinister who had to be replaced, but it was terrifying watching a missile fly across the room knocking figures off of shelves and chain reacting more missiles.
