    The Chosen Prime x Fans hobby is back with another installation into our exclusive reimagined headmasters series. This time, we have taken things straight to the top, all the way to the Boss!

    After being damaged severely by enemies as they raided the Fortress, Bossman had become inoperable and the repair team was forced to make a decision, let him go or someone would have to sacrifice their current form to save the great warrior. Scram immediately stepped forward, not willing to allow his leader to perish. Scram could already see how much more powerful they could be as a team. They could now fight the enemies as one!

    After all the calculations were done and the circuitry was completed, with one final pull of the lever, Scram was now a true head master and Bossman was not only revived, but we was even more formidable than before with his new bond to Scram!

    MB-13B Bossman will be limited to 600 pieces worldwide and released at tfcon Los Angeles beginning on March 10 at price of $85 at the show. Asian, Australian and European customers will have the ability to purchase copies through the Fans-Hobby store. Any remaining units after tfcon will be available on our website in the days after the show (Stay tuned for more information).

    On behalf of ourselves and Fans-Hobby, we would like to thank each and every one of you for supporting our projects. We have had a wonderful time creating these characters and hope to have many more in the future! See you all at tfcon!

    I'm sorry, I'm not well versed in Headmasters enough, which character is this supposed to be?

    Excitement averted. Only 600 available. The Pyro debacle has pretty much turned me off of these exclusives.

    If its as easy to get as Delta Baser then sign me up. If it ends up like the Pyro shitshow then no thank you, don't need that again.

    Exactly. That Pyro shitshow soured me on these exclusives.

    Alright, I know nobody cares about the turbomasters.

    But this is so blatantly a “what mold can we turn blue to fit TCP’s blue colored exclusive mandate” moment.

    Transformation scheme isn’t even close, alt mode looks genuinely terrible compared to the original, and the colors aren’t even accurate. Not even going to comment on that headsculpt.

    I should be thankful that us Boss enthusiasts are getting a morsel, a crumb of attention.

    The gut wrenching disappointment seeing the reveal photos after the excitement of reading Boss at the top of the post actually kinda hurt.

    I may have to stay away from this one - only because the way that my tendencies work, if I buy this, there's a 100% chance that I'll feel the need to pick up the FansHobby Thunder Clash too (and I don't need a third Power Baser variant).

    That... doesn't really work, from that mold. Glad this isn't a must-have.

    Delta Baser was pretty easy to get because of the price; I think at $85, this will be much closer to the Pyro situation.

    Looks nice, but I trust Hasbro will make the Turbomasters someday. If characters like Crankcase or Jhiaxus got toys, so can they.

    This doesn't work at all, though I do love the idea's creative ambition
