    Holy shit, I need that fucking Darksol now. The bat mode is too cool. Headrobots is quickly becoming one of my favorite 3rd party companies.

    I love how Headrobots does so much to the molds with only a few added pieces. Go go amazon gift card balance, just got Mindwipe and Skyhammer.

    As far as Blood..can't decide between voyager or dlx.

    So, why should we care about the Mindwipe and Highbrow kits when the figures aren't even in the right colors? This is the same thing as making Whirl out of Tomahawk. They definitely look cool, but if we're putting them on figures that aren't the right colors, I don't see much point in it.

    Mindwipe is pretty close. Highbrow less so, but still, not bad.

    I like Skyhammer the way he is to be honest. I just wish he had come with them machine guns to clip on his arms that came with Backfire. And the Sideswipe gun instead of the weird one he came with.
    His heads a little bland, but I cant see him being Highbrow...
    Whirl, sure, but Highbrow? I'm not seein it.
    Anyone wanna trade me them Backfire guns for a classics Mirage rocket launcher? PM :)  (shameless plug)

    Because a doing a little paint work on your own is totally unheard of :rolleyes: .

    Or, people just don't care. I personally don't care that Mindwipe isn't brown and purple. He looks sufficiently bat-like, which is the more pressing concern. It's not like it's a character I had any previous attachment to, that the shift in colours really glares at me.

    And Skyhammer's colours can sorta be seen as a more muted, militaristic version of Highbrow's palette, with grey a blue-grey replacing white and sky blue. It's not as if he's a complete opposite as far as base colours go, like red and yellow or something.

    Hey, if Classics Megatron can pick up some purple and green along the way, then it's not that far-fetched for Mindwipe to go stealth, and Highbrow to go a little more military.

    Wow Savant looks good. I've got to scrounge up a Skyhammer now.
    I have the Headrobots Hothead (alternate universe/comic) add-on kit and i must say it was one of the best 3rd party upgrade kits i have purchased. It totally changed the character of the toy and was a huge upgrade.

    Quality-wise HeadRobots are pretty good. Now i wouldn't go all out bashing them around but other than that they last pretty well.

    My only question is WHEN and WHERE to place my order?

    And now I have to track down skyhammer and mindwipe. They always intrigued me, but as I essentially don't buy movie toys due to focusing on classics, I've held off. *waits*

    BBTS has Skyhammer up for order, just snaged an extra for this upgrade.

    Voyager MechTech Series 02 - Skyhammer - Transformers Transformers III - Dark of the Moon Voyager MechTech

    Althogh I did just check Amazon and they're better priced.

    I think it's unreasonable for a company to expect their customers to paint their figures in order for these parts to really hit the mark. And I'm pretty sure people care more about original colors than new ones. That's the whole reason behind making kits like these in the first place, is to replicate more of the original character than the mold does on its own. Otherwise, if new colors can be "picked up", then so can new body styles, and then there'd be no point in the add on kits in the first place. It goes both ways.
