And because, well, those purple limbs aren't show-accurate.

I am legitimately mystified that hasbro made individualized arms/legs for each headmaster, but they couldn't find a way to give blurr some paint apps

Yeah, this is nice (though some are clearly superior, but, overall, this is great)

It's a little crazy... especially since the headmaster doesn't match the jaw or colors...

Yeah but I can just swap it out with someone with red or black arms. Besides you can't tell me that this version of that mold isn't the best looking version.

Wait, what? But it's legs are black, and the dino's head is black.

As for the jaw, the Vorath mold's leg have no teeth on them like the Crashbash mold's legs have.

I meant them separately, the purple arms don't match the red of the body, and the lower jaw doesn't have teeth.

Sure I can, I love crashbash's colors. This is a nice pallet, better than the one that came with skullcruncher, and better than the grimlock one, that one's plastic looks a little cheap

It's subtle, but Crashbash has teeth detailing on his lower legs, to go with the Dino Mode of his vehicle. It's that little detail that TakaraTomy choose to overlook.
Again, I shake my head at LG34 ワイプ (waipu)...

O, don't even
The comparisons do establish the trend of TakaraTomy retooling the faceplate of every main Headmaster, no exception. Makes making the complete list so much easier.

Even in such cases, Takara Tomy isn't shy about going the extra mile and painting over plastic that's the "wrong" color.

True. Wonder if they just "forgot" about Vorath's red limbs. hope they can fix the color before the figure's release.Wolfman Jake wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Unless the limbs are gang-molded with something purple on Wipe.Wolfman Jake wrote:That's very odd for Takara to make Vorath's limbs purple instead of red.

Wouldn't that complicate things a little? I mean, if the heads are gang-molded with the bodies and vehicles, wouldn't that make switching out heads a bit more... wasteful? The Stylor mold is already shared between Chromedome and Blurr.

Mindwipe - Takara hands down.
Highbrow - hmm.. the Takara body with the Hasbro head.
Chromedome - same, I think.
Weird that only Highbrow got twin-guns. The Autobot Headmasters all had a pair of guns in the original toyline and both cartoons. Takara usually pays attention to that sort of detail.

Question though, what do you call Headmasters, the small figures that turn into heads or the larger figures as a whole?
I feel Hasbro was smart with giving a distinctive name to the small heads, calling them titan masters, so as not to confuse over that also being the name of the larger figures, which it isnt.

The "heads" of course. That's why I mentioned Hb and Takara really did give them good head impressions. Now if the background of them figures be changed( originally, Hb storyline is that man and machine are finally working together into one ala diaclone(?) as in Rebirth and the Marvel Comic) with the figures now being totally mechanical or something, then why have a head stuck on your back? Still a headmaster. Maybe Hb no longer has the TM on the term Headmaster?
Then Takara creates that Planet Master background with them, the Headmasters being at first non transforming Cybertronsbefore the transtectors, the figs are still Headmasters in my opinion which means nothing of course in the grand scheme of Primus.......

Galaxy Force came out in 2004 - would be a strange time to celebrate it, especially with much more significant and popular series like Micron Legend.

Totally disagree. Fortress looks like he stepped right out of the Headmasters cartoon.. I like him so much better than the mishmash of colors on Cerebros.

Once again thats the toon accuracy which also happens to be the same colours found on the G1 toy. That si my main pet peeve with the G1 toy so I am not fond of it here, but I understand where it comes from. Its really cool that people have options like this which isnt the case in any other toy line.

Thanks!
Looks like Takara is going with the preliminary shade of purple while Hasbro is going for the final shade, which I like better. Though I do wish Hasbro painted the head, especially the crest. I'm kind of surprised Hasbro didn't go with the toy colors, but I'm glad they didn't.
I just watched Emgo review our favorite unstable leader and find myself wishing Hasbro had spoken with him first because that face crest plate thing needed to extend to the arms to have any attempt at cohesion.
Also, I think the chest might get retooled to have an actual head for a platinum release a few years down the road. I can't imagine one of the companies not doing something for some anniversary. I don't think they would release it again with the Titan Master gimmick at that time. But I could be wrong.

So does it mean in short form, one character with two different perspectives at presenting the character on both sides of the Pacific Ocean?
Anyway, the Cerebros head is just as cool as the JP version....I hope someone sells him separately in ebay sometime in the future (reason how I acquired both Encore Master Swords for my G1 Fortmax ( I love you ebay .......sometimes)
