Well i think several threads existed about headsculpts but new members, new releases, new remolds/repaints i guess. What are your favourite headculpts from the figures you own? Rating them not with accuracy to screen but design/sculptwise, paintjob, lightpiping, head gimmicks and general level of coolness? Provide small photos if you can (doesn't have to be your photo)

I'll start (i mostly have movie stuff, so):

12. Rotf Sct Dune Runner
11. Dotm Ha Icepick
10. Rotf Dlx Brawn
09. Dotm Dlx Roadbuster
08. Rotf Dlx Armorhide
07. Hftd Sct Insecticon
06. Tftm Dlx Dropkick
05. Rotf Dlx Sideways
04. Hftd Vyg Highbrow
03. Tftm Dlx Long Arm
02. Dotm Ha Backfire
01. Dotm Dlx Crankcase

 

I don't have it yet, but mine would be Prime Hot Shot. With it's blue light piping and goggles, I just love it.

 

ROTF Voyager Megatron's head sculpt is fantastic. Scary looking, full of sharp details. Regardless if you like the movie's aesthetic, that's a great head sculpt.

 

Classics Wheeljack.
RTS Cyclonus

 

HFTD(?) Scout Breacher's head scuplt is one of my favs of recent years.

 

Let's keep this thread alive until after BotCon so someone can say the new Metalhawk.

 

I Kinda like the way Classics Scourge looks. Cybertronian foo-man chus are badass looking.

 

MP Rodimus Prime, MP Megatron, Buster Optimus, Generations Wheeljack, off the top of my head.

 

Yeah, Scourge is badass as well. Heck so is Wreckgar IMHO.

 

Oh ya, I'll have to add RTS Wreck-Gar to the list as well. Such a great smirk.

 

I REALLY love the head sculpt of Drift when painted correctly.
<----

 

HFTD BB Bumblebee and Animated Voyager Optimus Prime. I love built in head gimmicks like sliding faceplates and goggles.

 

This.

 

DOTM Shockwave is one. That is perfection, great light piping too.

DOTM Crankcase has a great one, fucking scary man.

Sidearm Sideswipe's is a perfect match for the model. Shame it's so small.

RTS Jazz looks like he SHOULD NOT be fucked with.

HFTD Terradive's is cool, looks like a dangerous, sophisticated hunter.

HFTD Hailstorm's looks like some grumpy dude with a ROTF Soundwave style mouthplate. You know, the type with a ton of moving plates to it.

HFTD Axor's is cool too, love the bug eyed light piping.

HA Sandstorm's is really nice, reminds me of Mirage/Dino.

Battle Blade Bumblebee has a great one too. Great match to the model, and love the faceplate.

And I really like PRID Arcee's for some reason. She looks sweet.

 

I quite like the head sculpts of Animated Bumblebee, Universe Cyclonus and the Classics Coneheads. I don't have Animated Wreck-Gar, but I love that adorable expression of his.

 

DOTM Megatron
DOTM Shockwave
DOTM Crankcase
DOTM Quickstrike
Generations Skyshadow
HFTD Seaspray (such a unique sculpt)
Prime Soundwave

 

Cool thread idea!

Off the top of my head, RotF Skystalker has a pretty badass headsculpt!

 

Most recent one: TFP Soundwave.

He doesn't need a deception insignia. His face is the insignia.

 

Generations Jazz
Animated Jazz
Cybertron Crosswise
RTS Perceptor - with reprolables
Prime Soundwave
Igear Kup with cygar

Mostly, I love my bots with visors  

 

I gotta say that I'd probably start with the headsculpts from Binaltech and Alternators, and work my way backwards in time as well as forward to now.

The reason I mention the Alt/BT line is because that's the line where I really paid a lot of attention to head sculpts, mainly because I work with them so often.

I'm better off mentioning the ones I don't like, simply because I'm a pretty big fan of the sculpting work that's went on for decades now. The movie toys have done well, but even those aren't the victims of Hasbro - they're the victims of bad design work. They lack the iconography that G1 and many other lines have.
