There's been a little talk about this listing in other threads but figured it might need its own discussion.

From a reputable source, here is what we can expect:

Hardhead (LG head, Hasbro plastic colors, different paint ops from the waist down)
Chromedome (TT colors)
Punch/ Counterpunch (lighter colors)

"Reliable source" gives three identities for four molds.  Wonder who the fourth is.

 

Anyway, more stuff to skip.

[Msol]

One day they'll make an IDW head for TR Hot Rod??

[NICK NEMESIS]

Those legends heads could get me to buy them all over again. That's tough.

That doesn't sound like it would make him incrementally more accurate to anything from the eighties!

I don't know how I feel about these. I have all these from Titans Return and I have a hard time imagining there will be enough changes to want them again.

I love the 1987 toys and characters and I like the Titan Returns molds. But it seems extremely unnecessary to be releasing these guys again this soon. Especially when there are like 6 G1 Headmasters and 5 Targetmaster still without real updates.

-ZacWilliam, if this leads to us getting any of them that's the only major upside I can see.

[Sciflyer]

This is cool but as I opted for the TT versions of most of the Headmasters, I will be skipping these Wal Mart versions.

[Sprocket]

And Punch/Counterpunch goes for a pretty high sum these days, so getting it out there again is a good thing

[Sabrblade]

Could this be a sign of things to come post-Kingdom? Like, the next line might have a mix of old and new molds together?

[The Predaking]

I wouldn't mind picking up a Punch Counter Punch since I had to sell mine in the great purge of 2018.

[DocChloroplast]

I would have jumped on a pack of heads a la the 6-pack Japan got; if its going to be just more cartoon-accurate, full-body guys, however, Ill pass.

That said, if they surprise us all and release a Minerva Ill be all about it.

I'd also be happy to see a new Weirdwolf release with proper tolerances. Just had the plastic hinges on mine crumble a couple weeks ago when I pulled out all my Decepticon Headmasters after Scorponok and Snapdragon arrived. Happened right after I learned about the problem when I was looking stuff up on the wiki too.

[LV!]

I hope Punch's head is just rolling around loose in the package to keep him on-theme.

[Powered Convoy]

He said the other three are Skullcruncher, Mindwipe, and Weirdwolf. Whom he hasn't seen.
https://www.tfw2005....2#post-18339370

He's only seen the robot mode of Hardhead and the alt modes of the other two Autobots. I imagine that Chromedome would use the TR head if they're aiming for Rebirth accuracy. But it could go either way since Hardhead has the LG head. Whether they're doing Rebirth heads or just what didn't get a major release in the USA.

Apparently, you control reality with your mind, so reading about how your toy could break caused it to break.

Maybe, it could simply be a filler line inlight of the sitution with Covid that they decide to reuse some older molds to save some money and plan out what they want to do next.

[TheSupernova]

I'm quite happy with all my TR figures for the most part, but it would be nice to have a second chance to break a Weirdwolf.

[Lisbon Virgo]

I was forced to see my collection back in the spring, so getting a potential second chance at these toys without the collector’s market mark-up would be nice.

[haywire]

I would be interested in the Punch/Counterpunch. I skipped the first release, because I had the TFCC P/CP. Then, I dug it out of storage for the first time in a few years...

I would be interested in the Punch/Counterpunch.

[Thylacine 2000]

My Punch has a scratched mouthplate, I might go for a "perfect" replacement.
