    Just saw that myself. Neat idea!

    $40 is slightly pricey for this, but hey, I have the figure and TFCon 2011 is going to be my first Transformers convention! I'll have to get it just to commemorate the event...

    Then track down an Energon Scorponok! :lol

    As much as I would love this head, $106.99 shipped ($110.37 USD) for the non-attendee is WAY out of my pricerange. If any Canadians are planning on attending LMK, $40 is much more in my pricerange, I can work on extras in trade, etc.

    I grok Headrobots' stuff, so I'm down for it! (I wouldn't be at the non-attendee price, though. $107 + shipping is a bit too spicy.)

    SWEET!!!! yeah, $40 is kinda steap for what we're getting, but it's an exclusive and 3rd party, so i'll accept. at least admission will be cheap'ish this year :) 

    any ideas as to what character this will be?

    and dammit, now i need to find an Onslaught lol

    I don't think the at-con price is bad at all. Hothead was $31 + shipping from the online stores (and so is the preorder for the comic-faced version).

    Keep in mind people, that the $40 bucks is not just the Head Robot upgrade kit, it's also the reprolabels sticker sheet to turn Onslaught 100% color wise like Fortress Maximus.

    Just get ready cause also we have the exclusive comic coming............. get ready guys, something awesome is coming.

    More to come.

    I agree, the at-con price is amazing. Too bad my cousin is in a different province, or I would convince him to go. As much as I would love to get it, I really can't come up with the non-attendee cash.......Unless Vegas goes well in a few weeks.

    As I said, I do have an extra Universe Onslaught to include as part of a trade if someone is going and doesn't have the fig to go with it.

    Edit: And damn it, Protoman you are making it hurt more. Can't wait to see what the reprolabels look like. Great exclusive you all are lining up. Never fail to disapoint.

    Grok!

    My guess is the design and production of this held up those other two pieces. Patience bro.

    so this turns onslaught into fortress?

    son of a bitch i want this......FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

    i can't justify that $100+ non-attendee for it, if it was like $50-$60 MAYBE $70 i would jump on it

    if anyone is wanting to part with theirs i'll take it off your hands, but i just can not justify that $100+

    Calm down. We don't have Blood because of this yes. But also the Whirl head. That and this isn't a big company. Just a few guys doing everything by hand. Shit takes a while. Patience.
