TFClub (registration required) posted some new images of some of their upcoming custom Transformers items. On show is the TFC-EX05 Primars, the superdeformed Optimus Prime toy, this time with a faceplate. Joining him is an image of the TFC-EX06 Custom Devastator’s right arm, plus the now-named Headmaster Optimus Prime and Soundwave figures. These two are to be called “Junkion Blacksmith” 01 and 02, and are modeled on their Generation 1 incarnations, with Headmaster heads based on their classic heads as well as classic style robot and vehicle modes. Only the unpainted heads are seen this time out, so check out our earlier coverage for more information. Also on show are the “Targetroids”, the Targetmaster versions of these. They take classic characters and have them turn from robots into guns. Shown so far are Optimus Prime, Megatron, Rodimus and Starscream.
Please remember these are all unofficial custom pieces, and as such are not officially licensed or safety tested by Hasbro or Takara-Tomy.

They are from the japanese cartoon and a number of them appear in an episode.

thanks, so the first set of 10 ko headmasters heads which came out awhile ago, was that set made up too? or did those heads exists in the cartoon? thanks
dark69
wow i like the Targetroids!

They're all made up, except Megatron as a "Targetmaster", kinda. Except that the execution here is entirely different than Megatron's real alt-mode.

above question? did these exists in the cartoon? or are they totally made up? thanks for any info.

That Scavenger toy looks pretty hot, and I'm still eagerly awaiting Protector.
The Targetroids look fairly cool too, but I hope they are executed better than Perfect Effect's PE-01 considering that its handle post was too small to be useful either as a hand-held gun or a shoulder-mounted gun. If they can be easily held by TF hands, I'm all for them.
The Headmasters look interesting, but I don't have any G1 Headmasters, so I have no idea where I would use them.

why does that devastator arm keep switching between painted and unpainted?

I think those targetmasters and headmasters are neat-O, even by themselves. I want some. How long are they going to tease us with that Devastator arm? Shit, you'd think we'd see it painted up in robot mode by now. I'm prepared to sink a few bills into it.

I didn't even think to look at the soundwave headmaster robot mode. after a second glance of the pics. it's kinda cool the transformed humanoid headmaster soundwave looks a bit like the 1985 soundwave toy. with the tape deck robot chest.
these headmaster soundwave & optimus prime toys with the robot modes resembling the 1984/85 robot mode toys. kinda reminds me of the 1989 TF Victory Brainmasters tiny robots that looked like the bigger robot mode.

That's pretty much been realized since the first pics surfaced.
The hand is a separate piece, though. It's impossible for it to fold out of the treads or anything, the way the parts are arranged. None of the pics shown of "Scavenger" so far have hinted at where it stows. Maybe in "Long Haul"'s dump bed or something like that.

Targetroids… >.> strange name aside….
They Will Be Mine Muahahhahhhahah
Edit: they will however probably not leave gunmode….

I definitely give TFClub props for their creativity but do I really want headmaster/targetmaster versions of the main G1 characters? I can live without them.
VitaminZinc
Can't wait til they give a price on these. Well, maybe my bank account can…

Devastators arm, Scavenger: is it just me or does Scavenger fully transform into Devy's arm?? From what I see, it looks like there are no add-on pieces; first time I've seen that.
mac&cheese
thanks did these exists in the cartoon? or are they all made up? I never saw any headmasters shows yet. so I have no clue.

…..i'm sorry, this made me fall out of my chair in laughter

^ Oh shit, when did pre-orders go up for those?
Jarodimus
^ And that's two separate releases, right there.

Why would anyone spend any money on these at all when for $90 you could get CrazyDevy's new nostrils and eyebrows for G1 Devastator?
