A cobra with TANK TREDS!
Pretty slick, though I thought it was going to be some kinda scrapped GI Joe crossover. Just another goofy individually packaged Japanese Headmaster head (cleverly named "Cobra" according to the packaging). Still, that's somethin' fer the Wiki! -------------------- Hey, check out one of my sites!

Wow, though the headmaster face is ugly, I have to admire the effort that went into these. If you're going to KO Transformers, this is how it should be done, give us things we don't have, rather than shrinking or tweaking designs Hasbro and Tomy are still using.

This is not really a KO (it's not even based on a physical thing). Rather a kind of fan-product. It's more advanced than a fanzine or a garage kit but really no different in attempt. -------------------- |

Wow, on the one hand I love Headmasters, I love the idea of there being more heads for them, and I think it is a fantastic and brilliant endevour.
On the other hand, damn, that is one ugly looking robot head (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-screamer.gif) -------------------- |

Still, that snake mode is awesome, treads and all. -------------------- |

I'm so going to buy this and find a headmaster junker on ebay.
I'm thinking Highbrow. Either that, Or I'll use it on one of my Maximi. -------------------- "The way YOU are built lends itself to similarly big weapons. Magnus by comparison is a girly man."--Bainreese |

I have a loose headless Chromedome. Might be a nice match.
PS - Where is the art this toy is based on anyways? This post has been edited by mignash: Feb 6 2010, 02:12 PM -------------------- Looking for: Energon Sixshot, G1 Cloudburst whip, G1 quake tank barrel.  "...real nearby!" |

I love the little art pieces they've inserted into the package, to homage different packaging styles; from the old-style Diaclone boxes, to the Victory-era minicomics. The superdeformed versions of Indiana Jones running from a herd of "Snake"s, and Cobra Commander riding one into battle are both spot-on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-fire.gif)

That really looks great!
If these sell, I hope Headrobots considers doing the pre-Headmaster heads from the comic commercial! Those would be so bought. -SS (Make it so, Headrobots! Make it so!) This post has been edited by StarSaber: Feb 6 2010, 04:03 PM --------------------  |

... I have no love for headmasters, and I never owned one, but THAT is just awesome. I may have to get one, and figure out what the hell to do with it later.

One of the places it was released -and perhaps the most readily available for fans in the US- was in the Ark books. Paul Hitchens had it available on his site for quite some time. He really needs to put it back up at some point.
