This is pretty big in the world of Transfomers collecting. While alternate heads are a staple with other Hasbro brands, like Marvel Legends, only recently did we get something exactly the same as how it's handled in Marvel legends, within the Transformers brand. We got an alternate head for Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus and now we have 3 alternate heads in the upcoming Target Exclusive Transformers Buzzworthy Bumblebee Creatures Collide four pack. Skywasp comes with both a Waspinator head and Buzzsaw head, Scorponok comes with the toy head and cartoon head and Ransack comes with a Ransack and Kickback head. The set also includes Goldbug with the Volkswagen Beetle body, which is the first time that mold was reused.
Below are images from Spider-Father and Napalm which show comparisons to previous releases of the molds as well as the original versions of some of these characters.

If they’re giving extra heads, that’s gotta be because they’re trying to justify a price point. They’re neat to have and though.

While I appreciate the inclusion of those alternate heads, I have one question: what's the significance of a Ransack-colored Kickback? Unless that's actually for Kickback himself in order to be toy-accurate?

Most definitely going to keep the Ransack head on, it feels really weird having Kickback's head on even it was originally his mold...
But it's still a cool option nonetheless!

I just don't get the purpose of these alternate heads. The Toy accurate heads should be the ones included and the already-used heads should just be left out. But of all the figures, they decided to not include an extra Bee head.
Alternate parts are not a solution, they just waste plastic and get tossed in a drawer.

Those alternate parts are always made when they make any version. At least here they are also given to you and not thrown out.

The extra parts are definitely NOT made, at least as far as I'm aware. Those parts of the sprue/mold are blocked off from the liquid plastic.

That is a rather recent idea isn't it? Although, that wouldn't really explain the odd accidental alternate head used instead of the regular one when it comes to samples.

In the case of an alternate head, I believe they basically have 2 paths through the mold/sprue that the plastic can flow, one for each head. They can gate off one head or the other based on which one is needed. It now appears that they can also leave both open and make both heads at once, which could also explain sometimes the wrong heads on samples as well.

Huh? How does it not? It just means that they had the wrong sprues blocked off instead of the intended ones. You didn't get both heads. They just had the wrong sprue train open so you end up with the alternate head instead of the intended head.

Yah, exactly. They apparently caught it and changed the mold flow. It's an on/off switch. They don't make both heads at the same time.

Alternatively look at T-Wrecks, we know the head they meant to use, but clearly they went all the way without realizing the wrong head was used. If both heads were molded they could have easily fixed this so clearly it wasn't.

No second head revealed for Goldbug? I for one am hoping they include a second Goldbug head in Marvelous gold instead of blue, since that body had more memorable appearances in that continuity than any other.

I could've gone for the gold "goldbug" head as well, but it was blue as the toy and the cartoon. As huge of a Marvel Transformers G1 fan as I am, I had to look up the his head was miscolored in the comic. I had forgotten despite that I sell Marvel TF G1 comics on a regular basis in the Seibertron Store and the Marvel TF G1 continuity is my favorite (sans Regeneration One).

That would be tricky since it would either require another GB head in the mold or running the whole mold again just for the head (maybe if they had used the mold for someone else so they could lift the head from there). And even if they did do a second head the arms and legs wouldn't be right. Better to hope a Marvel version later.

I did think about that, but I can't be buying super multiples just to differentiate a head. At least not this year.

I will say after the full reveal, it is nice Hasbro is giving fans more options, and this Buzzworthy set is a bit more unified than last year's, and quite a bit more desirable. I myself won't be getting it, but I definitely see the appeal. Best hopes to all fans out there who want this, can obtain it.

It's a perfect homage to the Robot/Mutant heads of old Beast Wars figures, plus with Skywasp you're getting two characters for the price of one: the Mutant Head makes the Waruder Parasite Drone, while the Robot Head makes the actual Skywasp, making a plan that originally had fallen through a reality.

A third character use for this figure would be Waspinator himself, as the deco was originally planned for the Transmetal mold in a canceled "Halloween Horrorcon" two-pack from Universe 2003, a two-pack that this figure completes updates of with Legacy Nightprowler.Jelze Bunnycat wrote:Seibertron wrote:I'm excited about getting alternate heads.

Target did eventually put all the bumblebee releases on their site, just not for pre-order, and some of them never really came in stock other than blink and you missed it. I did find some of them in stores before they were on Target's site, especially in the very beginning.

I don't recall Target ever taking pre-orders on Buzzworthy figures, they don't even stock all of them on the site.

Target did eventually put all the bumblebee releases on their site, just not for pre-order, and some of them never really came in stock other than blink and you missed it. I did find some of them in stores before they were on Target's site, especially in the very beginning.

He's there, on the site, but I'm not sure if he was ever in stock. Their filters are clunky as hell.

JTPrime17 and Voltrace found another Buzzworthy/Legacy listing. Problem is, it doesn't say what character it is, but it has a different/new DCPI number so it can't just be Silverstreak or Terrorsaur again.

You're absolutely correct, I have the figure saved in my favorites. I should've said I never saw it or Kup come in-stock.

I've never seen Kup or Cliff in store nor available online, Bee I had to get in store to make sure I got him but he did eventually become available on their site for ordering. Silverstreak is currently available.
Yet not ever spotting the other multipacks in store I do question whether I'll be able to find Goldbug because it's not like you can use the store locator or pickup function for these sets and I'm too far away to pop in on a daily/weekly basis particularly now with current gas prices.

I wonder how long it will be before this 4 pack is live for sale. I am going to keep a close eye on it

It practically came all at once, Targets updated their Buzzworthy Bumblebee selection on shelves with many new offerings. The Creatures Collide multipack was found first (for $73.99) soon followed by toy deco Beast Wars Dinobot and toy deco Terrorsaur. All are in solid case packs, meaning there is no other/different toy in the cases they come in. And for those worried about theivery with the closed box set, there are holes at the top that let you peer in to see if there is something missing.
Below are images of the multiple sightings coming from TF fans ahchu, Slingshot and Hye6640 who posted their findings on the TFW2005 message baords. California has been the main place for sightings but they have been found elsewhere as well, like Ohio. These being Target exclusives means that Target is getting almost all the stock destined for US fans, so these are bound to show up at your local Targets.

Then those will be available at our local Canadian Toys rUs for one zillion dollars each.

Bah - the Creatures Collide set still isn't showing up on the Target website database. Until then I can't get the UPC number for looking it up. Which means that you can't call Target up to have them confirm if they've got it or not. The dead-head clerks who work in these stores are utterly clueless without those numbers, it's like talking to a brick wall. 'T... oys? Uh... I don't know if we sell these "t... oys" of which you speak. Let me get ahold of my manager....'
