    Twitter user @more_jetpacks figured out that you can remove the Titan Master's small robot head and use the rest of the titan master to replace Combiner Wars Swindle or Hound's head. Some minor repainting or parts swapping and you've got the makings of a nice custom CW Brawn.

    So I designed this:

    This connector is designed to allow you to put a Titan Master faceplate of your choice on a Combiner Wars figure that uses the small 4mm ball joint in the neck (Swindle, Hound, possibly others) without the need for the titan master's small robot parts, allowing those bits to be reused with a spare faceplate (might I suggest any of these) so you can have your Brawn and your Titanmaster too.

    This connector is being offered without markup pending testing.

    Semi-Related: If anyone knows which CW characters use the same sized neck ball joints as one another, I can attempt to make similar add-ons for those as well.

    Now THIS is a cool upgrade. I'll see if there's a Hound available elsewhere

    Custom back pieces for TM faces... Galvatron needs one of these badly.

    Any chance you'll make a complete rear piece for his TM face?

    As soon as I find a Galvatron, I'm going to pick him up so I can figure out the best way to address his issues. A lot of people are requesting head fixes for him.

    The Air Raid/Skydive mold, the Ironhide/First Aid mold, and of course Rook all use 4mm ball joints as well.

    Go man go! What about making it rounded to match the Brawn head?

    Ironhide is one of the ones I have, and his balljoint is larger, 5mm it looks like.

    Well, the head backing is meant to be a general purpose one to work with any given skull, and even G1 brawn had a flat backing behind his dome. I'd need a Brawn in-hand to get the exact curve right and so forth, and wave 2 hasn't hit here yet.

    My bad, I was eyeballing it. It does measure out to 5mm.
