    Oh colored prototypes? Sweet.

    Yeah the little guys and their vehicles look fantastic, great paintjob. Happy to go with Takara with these guys, although I’ll probably only go for the Decepticon beast Headmasters.

    I still hope some 3rd party group makes better head bots for these guys, as these official little guys don't impress me at all. If they had separate leg movement I would be just fine with them, even with the fact that there's a huge face on their backs with no way of covering it even a little bit.

    Problem with that theory is Hasbro will be selling heads and a little vehicle for $5, and a third party one will cost like $20-30. Maybe they can just make replaceable FACES for the Hasbro heads even cheaper?

    Nice to see Skullcruncher in colour. While the retooled heads are nice, I don't really think it's worth the cost of import.

    Just noticed Galvatron's face looks a bit derpy.

    Aaaaand preordered!

    I was initially going to pass on Hardhead because I'm pretty cool with the Universe version with Headrobots update but the new mould along with the extra vehicle are too appealing to ignore.

    I suppose I can use the Universe mould for my Wreckers team and this one for a G1 collection.

    These are supposed to be slightly larger deluxes correct?

    Would laugh my butt off if they were roughly Function X size.

    Really hope they include a second rifle with Hardhead. Also will Skullcruncher come with his rifle, one of the few nice moves Hasbro did with theirs.

    Given that the mini vehicles are packed with the deluxes, I'm betting we'll see Takara announced blind packs for the missing heads.

    Forgot to mention that I absolutely love these decos. The extra paint in the Headmasters is great and I really like that tone of violet for Galvatron.

    This also makes me realize that this would be the ideal time to re-release Thunderwing in either Voyager or Leader size since this little vehicles can work as the extra figure the original toy had and in a more effective way than the last Generations mould (and of course, it could eventually be retooled into Sky Shadow).

    Totally! These figures already look better than the Fansproject ones.

    Weeell that just sold me on getting Takara's Hardhead. Their Skullcruncher does look a bit better than Hasbro's but still passing on both of those.

    If these are larger deluxes than the gen figures we have been getting, $28ish isn't too bad.
