Ships in exactly one month. E: "Lady Eris is a bot with outlier ability that the mad scientist Psyaxus experimented on." Am I wrong or is this a really lovely joke?

Headmasters suck because they neuter the character by making them stuck in vehicle mode unless their buddy happens to be around to make the head. It means these two individuals are forced to constantly stay near each other, and that bothers me on some psychological level. I'd be much more favorable to the idea if the larger body was just an exosuit for the little guy, who was considered like a Micromaster or something, kind of like the Japanese version of them but gently caress having a human in there, keep your fleshies out of my robots.

I just figured it was a terrible parody of that IDW comic where som Decepticon scientist experimented on Arcee. What with that being a female Tarn.

It's this, Headmasters should just be little robots, and their big bodies have no mind of their own.

huh I totally thought that's how it worked all along. They were in that "energy crisis" micromaster phase so I just assumed headmasters were power suits

Turns out Ratbat's peg will easily fit in Soundwave's gun, which means he can do an extremely stable shoulder pose.

I prefer the tiny robots with big body suits though for sure. Also I love headmasters so Titans Return is still one of my favorite recent lines still. I even grew up with a headless (and weaponless) Skullcruncher and still liked that guy.

Xenomrph posted:It’s mostly the headmaster gimmick. The mere possibility that I could lose a vital component of my toy and fundamentally cripple it is a turn off. It’s the same reason I don’t care for parts-forming. I never liked Headmasters for exactly this reason, and during the Titans Returns line I avoided buying some favorite characters, like Kup and Misfire, just because Hasbro had turned them into Headmasters even though they WEREN'T Headmasters in the old line. That's revisionist history! Actually, I'm not sure if I ever saw Misfire for sale in stores. Looking at eBay prices now, he must've been rare.

Titans Return Kup should’ve come with his Targetmaster to keep his head guy company.

Combiners are my favorite TF gimmick, followed closely by Headmasters. HEAD ON is the greatest battle cry ever.

For sure. Blaster neglects his kids and just sits at home all day getting high on dank energon while listening to recordings of Sky-Bite's lovely beat poetry.

Bought a near-complete G1/G2 Thunderclash on eBay, here’s hoping he’s not too fragile due to gold plastic syndrome!

What if he comes in vehicle mode, and my whole Transformers display is in robot mode? The eBay listing did show him in both modes, but I understand that GPS is a huge gamble

Xenomrph posted:What if he comes in vehicle mode, and my whole Transformers display is in robot mode? From what I understand about his GPS, don't touch his trailer too much- the main gamble you have are his feet, for the robot itself. Joking aside you should be able to transform him and be fine, I just would *not* try to transform his trailer.

If he comes broken, or you immediately break him, sell me the back-flap that hides his head in truck mode. Somehow I managed to lose that on mine.

I got my Unicron yesterday and finally got around to unboxing it today. Honestly I'm pretty unhappy with it, what a floppy-paneled mess. I knew there were going to be a lot of panels of course, but for $700 I expected them to actually secure together tightly and not be flying all over the place while trying to transform it, and it would be nice if he wasn't so backheavy that he didn't have to have the stand up his rear end all the time to be stable. The only thing keeping me from selling it is the absolute dread I have of putting it back in planet mode. He does look drat impressive standing there though.

If you don't care about being able to transform him back, it's pretty easy to remove the leg and back kibble for a much cleaner robot mode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-d9nXEmT98
