    My initial reaction to the colour was that a more military green would suit the alt mode better but in truth, the bright green is closer to the G1 toy. It's still too neon on Hardskull there, mind you!

    looks like a lot of us are gonna get some head this 2013.

    I like the tank mode a lot as well. Wonder how FP's version would look beside this?

    Do you think it was intentional? In my language Hardbone, literally translated, would metaphorically mean "tough guy" because, you know, in Italian a bone is just a bone :D 
    I never know if those ambigous 3rd party names are just naively attached, or if they are intentionally playing dumb...

    Anyway, Hardbone looks really great but I don't need it, I'm happy with my Universe/HR version. I really hope that TW will eventually make a figure that I'm interested in, as I've passed everything they've made up until now.
    Please make a Scorponok or a Galvatron...

    Yep, this'll go along nicely with f[x]-Code.

    I doubt FP will make one. I remember back in the days when they made the G3 trailer, Venksta saying that FP really suffered from competition with the BTS one.
    I think they'll steer away from Hardhead and Brainstorm as Hardbone and HR Savant are coming. The only exception is Mindwipe, but I think this is due to the fact that HR Darksol is not for everyone and there is more room for competition. Darksol's Headmaster has a batmode instead of a botmode, and with the cape and all it is going to be very far from Mindwipe's standard look.

    I for one might end up getting both and repurpose Darksol as an original character.

    Yea, it is probably the #3 option for me as well (forth since I have both Headrobots versions), but the classics whore in me must have it.

    I completely forgot about that. But Savant is Highbrow, isn't it?

    I'm definitely getting this if the reviews are good. I agree with many that say the green is to neon, but I can live with it.

    Angles are all a wee bit off so the scale isn't exact but it's near as damned it as far as I can see from all the comparison pictures of the various figures out there.

    That is an unfortunate name, but after seeing the colour prototype, I think I'm sold. I'll still hang on to my head robots hardhead though :)

    That looks really good. I kinda like that green too. But I'm sure they will change it.

    Also, prediction: a large number of disgruntled people come production time complaining that they preferred the "old brighter green colour".

    Yes, it is. And from the prototype pics it's going to look great with both CODE and Hardbone, IMO.

    Not bad. Not bad at all. But I'm not really getting a "Hardhead" vibe from him... :confused:
