New pre-production images of the upcoming Hothead upgrade set for Universe Hardhead have been posted on TFW sister site Cybertron.ca from the third party company HeadRobots. This upgrade set features several add-on features to Transformers Universe Hardhead including 2 rifles, cannon, G1 neck adapter, and backpack to make him resemble his Generation 1 counterpart.

Yeah I got mine yesterday, it's awesome.
Though the head doesn't pull apart like some people's does.

Wait how did HR milk the cobra mold? All of the others were exclusives that groups requested to be made for them.

Got my Hothead upgrade yesterday from BBTS.
What a vast improvement to Universe Hardhead! He wasn't a bad repaint to begin with, but the upgrades are a nice homage to his G1 toy. Great job to the Headrobots crew for putting this together!
Now, I want a Chromedome, Highbrow, and Brainstorm to go with this guy.

I was never a fan of the IDW comic face. It is just not G1. i really like the HR style face. it really reminds me of G1.
However given that HR milked the Cobra headmaster mold, I could see a simple redesign and make a second release to look like the IDW design, just for those fans, like you.

As cool as this kit is and as good as it looks I kinda wish they went with more of an IDW-ish design to match the Generations line.

Thanks man I hope yours will arrive soon too Unfortunately I have the G1 Hardhead in another house, cause I would have do some comparison shots but on line there are various yet

I initially bought this for my Headless G1 hardhead… but now I really want to put it on my universe HH… Oh, the choices one must make to provide happiness to ones toys.. So I'm kinda torn on whether I shoud put G1 HH back into storage and turn Universe HH into the headmaster he deserves to be or leave as is, right now with the head on G1 and the weapons w Universe.. Buying another set is not an option for me right now. Other than my dilema, I really like the little guy, this is a neat little set. My first 3rd party anything and am so far satisfied.

Just arrived this beauty ^__^
The quality of plastic is not so excellent (the headmaster feels quite light) but the final result is really impressive !!! I'm feeling very good about this so much waited kit ^__^

The tab on mine broke then I think it got stuck inside the torso halves hole, because I can't even see the edges of the hole – just looks like solid plastic.

From the video review thread. It goes back together by tab and slot.

Well, if it had that feature then it wouldn't work on mine. My one came apart and can't be put back together again. Is there a peg in there? Because it seems like something broke, judging by the white plastic flash.
MegaMoonMan
I thought the head was SUPPOSED to come apart, or at least was given the ability?
I wouldn't know, as I popped in the adapter for my G1 once and left it there.

Yeah hopefully Robot Kingdom can help me.
Everybody, be careful when you attach and remove the Duro-5 head from Hardhead. The directions on the back of the packaging to "push down" on Hardhead's neck joint forces the socket on Duro-5 to spread, weakening whatever they used to hold the two halves of the head together. Gluing the halves back doesn't seem to be an option, or I'm using the wrong type of glue.

Contact the place you ordered from for a replacement.

Does anybody know how I can contact Headrobots directly? My Not-Duros broke in half.
