^ If they were going to do that kind of thing, I'd have expected to see, like, Chromedome or someone with a blatantly wrong head already.
Though I do imagine the eventual Deluxe Nightbeat and Siren/Loudmouth will have opposite heads, given that's what happened to their comic designs.

 

I imagine that if Hasbro/TT doesn't put out bodies for these at some point, that a third party company will to match the heads. At which point these heads will be worth so much they'll be blowing people's minds (like the RotF Bruticus set). I'll probably get one of each (except maybe Nightbeat, since I'm pretty happy with the Generations figure) in case this happens.

 

These are kinda cool and nice they come with something but, for example, I want my Nightbeat to have a body!,lol.

 

I just wonder if it's possible to take Generations Nightbeat and work in a way to use that headmaster. Mine's boxed up so I can't check.  

 

I really wouldn't be surprised if Hasbro actually released the body's with toy accurate heads, and these were the cartoon/comic heads.

There's already rumors about Takara's headmasters being released over here at some point. (Hardheads, Skullcrunchers etc)

 

I kind of hope 3rd parties will step in with the whole "not having dedicated bodies" schtick.

 

I kind of like these, despite the very valid criticisms pointed out on this thread. But on the other side of that negative coin, these are cute for kids, and just scream, "MIGHTY MAX!"  

If you believe Hasbro hacks (I mean, "Reps") at Botcon, Hasbro will release bodies, MAYBE, depending on fan reaction, sales, etc. A Hasbro rep directly told me that "nothing is off the table" for this line... however, I'd warn that likely a lot of the line is already planned and dedicated, so I don't know how much I believe them, given how poorly Victorion turned out (and the generally insane design for Windblade).

As a bonus, 3Ps are going to have the chance to mass produce tiny heads at a fraction of the cost/risk of MP toys, AND there's going to be lots of demand for the heads! It's kind of a windfall for 3Ps, and I'm sure we'll see 4-5 new companies spring forth, like a regenerating, decapitated Hydra!  

 

The only guy I'm interested in is Crashbash and that's less for the Crashbash himself and more for his lil' Cat-Dog esque wyvern/dinosaur buddy.

 

I'm into Little Dudes enough where I'll want all of these. However I would prefer that they were sold two headmaster figures per package rather than the janky little vehicle things.

 

Not interested in any of these, but I'll buy that tiny Apeface in a heartbeat.

 

This could be a new direction for 3Ps. Especially Horribull, Apeface, and the other guys who got shafted.

 

I maintain that these figures should all be original characters instead of "man i wish this was a full figure" characters. Hopefully we get nice repaints of them into new characters that are partners to the bigger guys

 

Easy pass

 

Nightbeat looks a lil confused.

 

I really like the little Nightbeat, but the others aren't my thing. That's assuming they'll even get distributed over here though

 

I like these little guys. Probably won't use them as alternate heads though unless proper bodies are released. Although I can see Terri-Bull working good with Triggerhappy.....

These will probably be a hit with kids and non-collector parents, for when junior looses a head and it can be replaced for $5 instead of $17 or $24 or $45 and junior doesn't care that the head color don't match the body.

 

If we get a toy Siren head, that to me will prove he and Nightbeat are going to receive full bodies with their comic heads. We do need those two, along with the Horrorcons (aka ACTUAL headmaster characters) to get full updates in this line. I don't see how Hasbro could justify not giving Nightbeat a proper update in this line, the character is just too popular and important to ignore.

As for other "Titan Masters", I kinda expect a big box of alternate heads (like red visor Soundwave, the unique Takara heads, etc...) somewhere down the line. Maybe for 2017's "May Mayhem"....

Besides being a vehicle thing for the head figure, what else does it do? They look like they transform a little. Do they become weapons or something for larger figures?

 

They've each got three modes: ride-on vehicle/beast, combined vehicle/beast, and 5mm weapon.

e.g. Squeezeplay's one can be a dragon for him to ride, combine with him to form a T. rex, or turn into a 5mm gun to give to a bigger figure alongside the Squeezeplay head.

 

I'm shocked that they aren't doing Siren and Nightbeat (especially as you could arguably do both with the same mold) but with how much info we have on the line, it's looking pretty unlikely.

I wonder if part of that may have been a conscious decision by Hasbro that everything (unless i am mistaken/forgetting someone) outside of Blaster and (kind of) the 2 Optimus molds has a Cybertronian alt mode aesthetic, unlike Combiner Wars where EVERYTHING was (more or less) Earth-based/realistic except the Technobots...
