Dear lord! He-Man/Transformers crossover?

Headrobots has an Amazon store?

Too bad the base Transformer costs so much!

Big thank you to Headrobots for putting so much hard work into the 'tri-process paint' on the face.

MegaMoonMan

That actually looks more like Skeletor than it does Overlord.

El Duque

Where can I get that throne?

Composite Ghost

They just made Gigatron awesome. I envy the people who end up with these kits.

Bountyan

Cool idea.

hordeall

I believe that is a Marvel Select Mephisto throne.

Man, between this, the upcoming upgrade to SG Ultra Magnus from Maketoys and the guns/sword for Metalhawk from sunlink's shapeways store I'm glad I picked up a Botcon 2012 boxset!

Aernaroth

That thing is fucking glorious.

GaussGunner

XD! Veeery Good crossover for him

Sol Fury

That is utterly amazing! Kudos to HighendTFs and Headrobots for coming up with a really awesome conversion kit.

backlash3906

Grabbed two. (:

Girl Pants

What is it with Botcon '12 and toys first going unloved and then getting a huge surge in popularity later from a third party release?

Is it irony derived from Funpub being anti-3P this year?

Shatterpoint

Man, I was really hoping this would come out at a better time.

'Cause I ain't got no money.

PlanckEpoch

OH MY GOD THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME!!

Seriously wish I could stomach paying for an Overlord, because this is goddamn awesome.

Though it needed to be more than just a repaint. I wouldn't mind partsforming if he had a staff in addition to his two swords! Also, I TOTALLY second the notion for a Man-At-Arms set for Bulkhead!

Paxtin

lol Wut!?

I mean, it's brilliant, but...Wut!?

Sovietbot

Wow. Very nice!

ETA: Anyone know where I can get a spare set of Skeletor's staff and/or two-part sword?

I really want to commend Headrobots on their creativity here, and hope to see more property-crossover sets. (:

Fosterlager

That's phenomenal. I almost want that POS botcon toy now.

Ra88

I was absolutely convinced that there was no way that the kit would work for this version of the mold.

I am glad to see that I was wrong. That is brilliant.

shibamura_prime

This opens up a whole new Jawbridge of possibilities. I approve.

JLvatron

In the words of Incroyus, ...

"inCROYable!!"

ORIO

Going back and forth on ordering this. It's so awesome

jbz

Order now. Change mind later. Can't do it the other way around if it sells out

Blitz.

this head does wonders for the toy

Don't wait, jump on it now!

If it sells out and you don't get one you'll be Skeletornery and full of Skeletoregret.

Josh

Hah! Brilliant

Metrotitan-Z

The kit looks nice and all, but Transformers and He-Man together is a little disconcerting, like some unholy mutant abomination... "The Thing That Should Not Be".

starscream-99

Dammit!!!!! I want this but I dont have Gigatron

Hicks_Royel

So, if anyone wants to get rid of their Gigatron head once they have this add-on, let me know.

CodeXCDM

...well shit... they just turned a questionable repaint into an AWESOME crossover one! Holy crap... really now I wouldn't mind finding this bass turd at some point in the future... >_<

Truth be told... I can see a Radicon or two now taking a regular Bludgeon and HR kit and giving him far more accurate Skeletor colors. Gigatron/Overlord is close enough, but mainly it's because the figure is a Skeletal Robot moreso than his colors I'd say... >_>

Still a very clever repaint idea... now if the throne and staff both came with him... it'd be absolutely amazing/awesome/must-buy/etc.

RedAlert Rescue

I like my Skeletor's with a Cape - so I'd love to see a custom cape for this made of Tanktreads and held with a collar pins made from drive wheels.

That would look dead neat
(Crikey it sounds like the wind is attacking me - and trying to get in )- If you never hear from me again you will know i've been squashed by a giant beech tree crashing in on me.

This looks neat but I don't need a blue Bludgeon.

ahro23

Crystal Convoy

That is awesome.

Lumpy

That looks really awesome, but I'm still leaning towards just selling my Overlord instead.

beangrower

Hmmm. I should just repaint my banzaitron with bludgeon kit.

Insane Galvatron

Now I kinda wish I hadn't sold my Overlord/Gigatron....

Starfire22

...and all the people who sold their botcon overlord are probably kicking themselves right now..

JDK

Talk about a narrow market...

Scaleface

It's a small run store exclusive speciality item, and a repaint. Don't need to be that many.

Plus, even if you don't want to go full Skeletor, you might buy it just for the swords, which suck on Gigatron.

cobra zartan

Very nice headrobots!

shamanking282

So, would anyone that's buying this set be willing to sell the Overlord head? I'd totally want to have one for potential customs.
