Haha I know, right? I got through watching Super God Masterforce by the end of last week so I've been thinking of those sorts of things. The Headmaster Juniors Exosuits would have to be something like a pressure suit to stop so much blood from rushing to their heads when they're combined in head mode. The vulnerabilities of the concept weren't explored here - bit distatseful for things to be happening to central characters that are children though! As an example of tactics that explot weaknesses in specific teams, I recall something like this happening during a battle on cybertron in the Headmasters series: Aerialbots form Superion and get the jump on the Stunticons. Superion picks up a couple of them, throws one of them out of the battle and so, combining range, and the plays keepings off with the Stunticon he's still clutching. I may be mistankenly condensing two seperate events but it was pretty cool really.
This is (kinda) true. Minerva is the female Japanese version of the West's Nightbeat. (If you squint really hard, you can see the detailing for the presumptively male Muzzle's exo-suit was made for Minerva, the French teenager.) Although the toy is just as blocky as Nightbeat (any number of other 80's TFs), the animators went into full "anime mode" to make this Autobot look feminine. To further complicate this show, while Minerva has a new color scheme, many other TFs with Japan-exclusive colors and identities show up with American/European colors (such as the Decepticon Powermaster planes and Firecons).
Messing around in Photoshop. It's not exactly how the pupils are, but I couldn't get it to look exactly right at 3:00 am.
^damn you GogDog, you keep making me want to spend money, i know the second she is up for pre-order i will have to get her, at least she can chill with the noriko i am getting from the same line
It's weird, I totally did not see the Nightbeat recolor version coming, even though it's blatantly obvious. I think it turned out really well though.
Must have these.............. Anyone know around what they'll cost? Also, will RK or BBTS carry these? Thanks in advance.
