I think Sabr mentioned this a while back, but for the most part, the face models for the Decepticon Headmasters didn't change all that much between Sunbow's "The Rebirth" miniseries and the Japanese original production of "The Headmasters." In fact, Takara's head sculpt for Legeneds Mindwipe looks almost like a compromise between the details found on the Western character model versus the Japanese character model.

Yep. I wish the Autobots were the same, too. We would have gotten Rebirth-accurate heads all around.

I've just learned to go with the flow with some of these things. Just look at poor Whirl. There was the party to go for G1 accuracy (or as accurate as it could be) and then there was the super IDW version that lots of people wanted, so we ended up with a G1 Whirl with some chicken legs options. Thew said it best in his review" "What do you people want?!?!"

You know, after seeing the "leaked" concept sheets from Hasbro, I get the feeling that, sometimes, Hasbro uses whatever photos that come up on Google Images when looking for references. And that's why their stuff can seem inconsistent.
And maybe the colour choices are decided by someone other than the mold designer.. TR Mindwipe for instance was designed in a way that allows him to have purple legs in robot mode, and red bat wings in beast mode. But Hasbro just made both purple.
I get that, they make a lot of toys, and move on to the next thing. Takara seems more "into it" -- or maybe it's their market. Or both.

It seems to me like they simply molded the figure--head and body--to resemble Chromedome's IDW Shadowplay design (at least in robot mode), but applied to it the traditional, not-specifically-IDW-based Chromedome colors.Kurona wrote:Hasbro's Chromedome becomes more and more of an utterly bizarre scenario the more I look at it.

They modeled it after the toy with the only real differences being caused by the Dead End engineering, fixed proportions and updated articulation. It just happened to look like Shadowplay Chromedome because Shadowplay Chromedome is modeled after the toy. And even then it still has some differences that make it clear the toy is G1-based rather than any iteration of IDW Chromedome-based.

Touche I suppose, but that seems a bit... roundabout and pointless compared to just modeling it on the G1 toy.
Besides there's details on the toy that aren't there on the shadowplay design so
Posted by Sabrblade on October 10th, 2016 @ 8:40pm CDT
True, but the fact that there are details on the toy that are taken specifically from the Shadowplay design (i.e. - the upper torso's overall shape and molded details, the kneecaps, the waist's overall shape and molded details, etc.) points to the Shadowplay design being more likely a deliberate source of inspiration for the toy rather than a happily coincidental resemblance.Kurona wrote:Sabrblade wrote:How do you know they didn't deliberately model it after the Shadowplay design because of the Shadowplay design being based on the G1 toy?Kurona wrote:Sabrblade wrote:It seems to me like they simply molded the figure--head and body--to resemble Chromedome's IDW Shadowplay design (at least in robot mode), but applied to it the traditional, not-specifically-IDW-based Chromedome colors.Kurona wrote:Hasbro's Chromedome becomes more and more of an utterly bizarre scenario the more I look at it.

All it really needs is a Shadowplay-accurate deco and it's a good enough approximation of the look in toy form, like a lot of the other IDW-inspired Generations toy molds.

And after 30 years we finally get skylynx redone and he is a freaken combiner!?!?
And this was worse than TR because while TR gives them a gimick they didnt have before, it doesn't limit the toy's possible uniqueness, or general look. Scourge, Blurr and Trigerhappy still look very much like themselves and all have nice transformations that are all their own. But with UW/CW, the fact that they are redecos fo the same mold means they arent all that unique, nor do they look the part. Ironhide looks nothing like his G1 self and all the cars have fake parts for the chest (like Wheeljack, Sunstreaker, and the Datsuns). And Skylynx is made smaller and gutted of his seperate lynx and bird modes.
I still have many of these toys and do not regret my purchases, but I did mean to show that TR handles the shared gimick much better than Combiner Wars did when it comes to homaging the look and idiosyncratic nature of these characters.

I'm going jump in on this, and the real reason I can agree with Kurona at this point is because those characters have already been given fairly decent updates.
Yes, they all had minor issues, but come on. The Datsuns from the Universe/Generations Lines were pretty spot-on-- door wings, shoulder canons, hood chests, and even though the vehicles were updated, even the legs/feet were pretty legit.
The Universe/RtS updates for Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, and Jazz?? Pretty awesome.
The Classics seeker mold? While a bit too small, it's beautiful!
So at this point, yeah variations aren't necessarily a bad thing.

Maybe a massive cash grab sales strategy to ensure that each component/character/products gets sold (I'm speaking of the UW/CW lines)
Btw, I agree with your views with that. Seems like every modern versions of iconic G1 characters are combiners now. Trouble is, it is sort of a lazy way to re-introduce them. At least the classics had their own unique molds without having to deal with their connector pegs. TR also with the Hm overkill so they have to add playsets now for our make believe forts and bases.
You can only squeeze a gimmick so far but hey, it's capitalism.
Maybe somewhere down the road Hb will recycle the Furby gimmick where each tf fig has a chip that will unlock a different set of phrases when placed in front of certain figures that won't be heard if placed with another (hear that Hb...I'm giving you another recycled idea to implement

The Classic Seeker's warrior modes are the same size as their g1 counterparts. It's only in their vehicle modes that the G1 versions were bigger. I don't know what you call the term (mass shifting )
Anyway, you are right. The Classics/Henkei had a good run and were great re imaginations of their G1 versions.

Youhedix's camera must be near stasis lock. The color is too bright making Galvatron's purple to irritating to the eye.
As I mentioned in many threads about judging the product based on images from the web, in hand the figures are much more slicker or nice to look at.
PC monitors aren't that accurate in conveying a TF's "beauty".
Example:
Weirdwolf's face , well from nose below, is actually a bit orange while his visor is red. But images posted here,you can't tell the difference.
United/Legends/henkei Sandstorm, in images so bleeding orange when in reality, it isn't
Legends Galvatron as you mentioned. If the camera is not set right (must be a rushed session)you get that headache inducing show.
Orange and purple don't seem to translate well on certain monitors (and video cards)

So Chromedome has some modest variation by artist in his design. I don't actually see the IDW typical Chromedome head (as say used in the Botcon toy) to be that hugely different anyway he still has the ears and the V shaped visor after all and the colours are broadly similar.
It's like comparing all the existing options they don't all match up but they are still all obviously Chromedome still, so doesn't it in part come down to personal preference or what sort of collection you are trying to make.
As for Blurr - All I cared about was how he displayed with Roadbuster I like the Hasbro ones but I also like the other options too.

Actually, the IDW design for Chromedome has stayed like this for the entirety of the run from his first appearance to his latest.
The only 'variation' would be a different style due to artist, but it's still this exact design. The only time he didn't use it was very specifically in a pre-war flashback.
The same goes for every character in MTMTE. The only time characters really switch bodies is either due to an in-story reason (admittedly, sometimes to sell toys like in combiner wars) or between series.

The problem I see with the CW/UW and TR line is the over use of a gimmick. TFs already have a gimmick, they transform. I find combiners and headmasters fun and I have no issues with traditionally non "fill in the blank" characters now being "fill in the blank" characters. Mainly because I see TFs as a continuously changing and evolving species anyway. What I have a problem with is why does the entire line (with exception of a few) all have to have the same gimmick? Sure the primary focus can be on combiners or headmasters, but variety is the spice of life. I feel they limit the designers by making them shoehorn in gimmicks.fenrir72 wrote:william-james88 wrote:Cyberpath wrote:I feel like the headmaster gimmick is becoming an overkill.

Weirdwolf initially you would barf.........what the holy frackin' hollowness?! But the hollowness makes sense. Takara/Hb hit a home run with the flip down the chest to his crotch transform sequence. So ingenious! Skull( old haul), despite the loose legs, is below awesome but above average. There is only so much to squeeze out of his animal mode anyway.
Scourge, isn't so much a shellformer anymore. Too bad his Hb version has "neck" issues. But overall, another fine piece of engineering.
Blurr? If only an Elita-1 could be based from him in the future. Hardheard (old haul)? Again, based on his original brick mold, how it transitioned into all those poseablility....kudos again to the designers.
Galvatron? That helmet gimmick ruined an otherwise great update.
I'll repeat again about "Fortress". The head part of the 'max package. Compared to the original brick
Now I'm on to opening Wheelie and Blaster.........

He is currently available for preorders at both US and Japanese based online stores and the price ranges from $35 - $55 depending on whether it is imported or not.
Enjoy!
Update: here are som comparison images with Alpha Trion for those interested.

And I noticed something: Takara does not have more paint apps than Hasbro, at least not a significant number more (they do paint the clear plastic cosckpit). But another point that sadens me a bit is that Takara didnt paint the snout of the lion or give it any painted detail. WHY?! Thats something I get from hasbro but Takara not doing it too is a bit odd.

Also, unless I'm mistaken, he seems to have an extra gun? In the vehicle mode picture there's a blue gun on the left side of the vehicle (where the sword is on the right side). Is that something that came with Trion?
