    I never managed to pick up a hardhead but I did snag a second onslaught for a song. I really want to pick up an upgrade set but I am leary to put in a pre-order for the hardhead version if there is going to be an onslaught version since it is onslaught I will be putting it on. Do you have any more information for us? You folks have been great about keeping us updated. Thanks

    Megamus had this and the Iguana in their case at botcon. Both looked awesome.

    Indeed! Never got to see Iguana in head mode, though.

    I asked about how Hothead will attach. As suspected, there will be a "collar" into which the Headmaster tabs will plug. And I can't remember if this has been reported yet, but the collar will have an LED and the head mode will have translucent optics to show the light. :thumb

    So is the July release of Hothead upgrade still accurate? By the sounds of it, we don't even know if these are actually ever getting produced??

    It seems like after 3 years of waiting, Iguana may be coming out! They had Iguana at the Captured Prey third party!

    Just saw the Vangelus review on Youtube. Iguana has SPD 7, STR 5, INT 6, same as Cobra.

    I thought headrobots was dead. Haven't heard anything from them in about a year.

    Rumors of their demise were greatly exaggerated, it seems :)

    I want Ronin, but wasn't impressed with the last 2 sets I bought from them.

    The damn crotch piece on deluxe Bludgeon didn't fit at all and broke. I had to glue it to the figure.

    The colors for the Gigatron/Skel-e-Tron set don't match at all. The swords are loose in alt. mode.

    I'm on the fence. Perhaps price might persuade me.

    Yeah I was pretty disappointed in the Skel-e-tron set. I am also a sucker for that tank mold so I will buy Ronin regardless. Sigh. Hoping the PE add ons for these guys come out soon too

    I was responding to:

    It's only been a half year since we heard anything from Headrobots.

    They last updated their Facebook page in November with pictures of Skel-E-Tron. They last updated their Twitter in November with the comment "ronin is out right after drone. :) "

    Iguana has been delayed since 2010 of course. He was supposed to be right after the original Hothead.

    My only complaint about Headrobots is that they don't make enough add ons. Love their work.

    I'd also complain they don't make enough number of their limited repaints, but I suppose you have to blame whoever ordered the limited number of Toxins and Night Riders for that!
