    Not too crazy about their Minerva figure (to the level that I didn't get it) and everything I have against it, I also have against a Nightbeat version.

    But bloody hell, this will be the first headmaster Nightbeat released since...uh the 80's? And he's a sore missing spot in my collection. Thus I eagerly await any information about it.

    I do hope they remould it enough to get rid of the lights on the roof, since Nightbeat wasn't a police or rescue vehicle.

    I wasn't interested in the Masterforce version and didn't know they had plans to do the American versions of these characters. Very interested now.

    Well tbh there’s only one characters that need a full American version. And by the looks of it they’ll have them done real soon if they’re gonna do Go-Shooter next.

    Go-shooter has a different deco from Siren too though. The only one that isn't different is Hosehead/Cab.

    If they do remolding to look like nightbeat, rather than just the same figure with a different head, then I’ll be interested.

    Huh, I didn't know there was a female version of Nightbeat. Would look cool next to Minerva.

    To be fair FH seem to be in the habit of liking every comment, I think they do it to keep track of which comments they have read or not.

    Definitely need to share that with FH. I would guess it won't happen, but they are the type where I could be wrong.

    The G1 toy was the same regardless of "gender". Takara simply released the US deco as "Minerva Nightbeat Edition" for Japan. As far as I know they didn't actually do anything else with it until the Legends comic during the Titans Return time frame where they had the human Minerva in Nightbeat colors for the Nightbeat Titan Master release.

    If they're not even removing the siren, then I don't expect any remold at all, and I'm not buying lady Nightbeat... hope to be wrong.

    Hah yeah I forgot to edit that as two instead of one.
    Or perhaps a tiny one for the headmaster?

    Lmao not sharing that here. But I would like a reference to the Takara Legends manga with their version of Nightbeat. Maybe some as hair.

    Hah true. Still it bites me when I ask a question and they just like it. Not that they have any requirement to reply to me, but it’s just funny.
