    This!. i would rather have the character not need an 3rd party set to look like himself.

    WOW! depending on the color scheme they apply this could actually be a VERY nice remold.

    I'm just wondering when all of these alternate-headed figures are coming out? We've got a good half-dozen at least (Thunderwing, Terradive, Jazz, Perceptor, Scourge, Kup) but where do they fit?

    I recall that Generations will pick back up in the later half of the year, but it seems like more than a few of these will never see the light of day.

    I'll probably still get this redeco. But the walmart Hardhead/onslaught is an amazing figure and with the headrobots upgrade it's going to be simply stunning.

    I may pick up one of these and an extra Warpath on clearance to make a fairly easy Gutcruncher, but I'm more than happy with my Walmart Hardhead with the Headrobots upgrade(s).

    Ahhhhhhhhh Yes,we might just see other headmasters in the generations line,I sure hope so.I would love to see Chromedome,Brainstorm,Skullcruncher and all the other hm's.As for them being actual headmasters I wouldn't care one way or the other,to me as long as they look like them I would be happy.

    As for all this WM Hardhead talk I didn't really like him as he wasn't a tank like the original but an armored SWAT truck.I really hope we get this in generations,and not in a year or so with a new line like Generations 2.0.Later all.

    Brought. Not because it is better or worse than Universe hardhead + upgrades, but because the warpath mold is so awesome it deserves to be brought.

    Interesting, if it comes out I suppose I'll get it since Warpath is looking to be as hard to find as the universe Legends version.

    I just wish the head robots upgrade for Walmart Hard head with the comic/headmasters head wasn't a BBTS exclusive.

    Eh, no. Generations is going to continue through the rest of 2011. Hasbro said nothing about it starting and than stopping. Plenty of time for the rest of these remolds to come out. And, really there aren't that many.

    1. Thunderwing remold
    2. Scourge remold
    3. Kup remold
    4. Warpath remold
    5. Jazz remold
    6. Perceptor remold
    7. Wreck-Gar remold (x2 if the US gets both new heads... probably will eventually)
    8. G2 Optimus Prime remold
    9. Jazz remold

    That's only 9 (maybe 10) figures there. The way Hasbro has been releasing these guys that would hardly cover the rest of the year. Or just barely cover it.

    Excellent... The 4-treads alt mode, the cannon next to his head in the robot mode, it would look perfect. I have seen the video reviews, and the chest-cannon can be pushed in so far back, it's hardly visible (only the tip), so it won't be a distraction. You can leave it sticking out on Warpath and push it full back on Hardhead.

    I was always iffy about the Universe version, upgrade or not, as it had wheels, and a dual-gun turret. That mold worked well for Onslaught, but not as much for Hardhead. Though, I still would not mind a repaint/remold of Movie Wreckage as IDW Hardhead.

    I would not rule out a Gutcruncher repaint either, they could use Warpath's head later on, after all a third repaint is not such an unexpected thing (see seekers).

    If the remold does turn out to be Hardhead, that does seem like a curious move even if the alternate mode is somewhat fitting. I'm happy with my Universe Hardhead with the Hothead upgrade, so I would definitely prefer Gutcruncher/Sparkcrusher as the second use of the mold.

    Right now I'm leaning toward just keeping my Universe one as my Hardhead, he's bigger and I've already paid for him. This does seem tempting though.

    someone said that Hardhead doesn't have a cannon on his chest. Well, couldn't someone here on custom board just makes a chest piece that plugs in so the chest is flat? I am sure it isn't too hard.

    If it really is Hardhead, that seems like a waste. Whether or not this or the Onslaught mold works better, there is already a nice Classics Hardhead. Whereas there are still a few tank-mode characters who could have used a nice update. Quake, maybe? Guzzle? Oh well.

    Stop making me want both the original figure, and the repaint Hasbro D: ! Seriously, i already have both Drift & Blurr, Thunderwing (and i intend on getting that Blackshadow should they ever release it), Scourge (Same goes for Leozack/Senator Ratbat), Tracks & Wheeljack, Laser Prime (Give me an RID Scourge/Nemesis Prime already!) and now i may need both a Warpath and a Hardhead : [
