I was coming here to address this very point, I am going to assume that some third party outfit(s) will make Transector bodies for these heads.
Even beyond that, I will probably get all of these. For some reason these really amuse me. I have a G1 Squeezeplay and played him on a MUSH, so Crashbash is my top choice, but all of these look like fun.
EDIT: The combined vehicle mode for Terri-Bull somewhat reminds me of Killbison, with the dual guns on the turret (although Terri-Bull is two sets of two).

Nightbeat's head mode looks like the G1 toy, but the shouting expression is pure Siren (whose comic book depictions used the Nightbeat toy head sculpt we see here). Whereas Loudmouth's head mode look more like the comic depictions of Nightbeat, based on Siren's toy…
I'm hoping to customise a neck socket for my Generations Nightbeat to accept one of these heads – but which one to choose?

Same here! I'm buying all of these and want to get as many of these little guys as I can. I'm even planning on buying both the Hasbro and Takara deluxes since they will have different heads. Loving this play pattern!

I want a Quickswitch repaint.

So many of you guys are just learning about these things now?! Where have you been for the past 4-5 months?!
I can understand why some of you wouldn't care about them…but I want these in the worst way. They just look like tons of fun.
Is it an artifact of the pictures or will these thing be made from glittery plastic? Some of them seem to have a glitter-flake thing going on.
It could also be the ol' glaucoma again.
Autovolt 127
I probably won't get anything here.

I'm shocked that they aren't doing Siren and Nightbeat (especially as you could arguably do both with the same mold) but with how much info we have on the line, it's looking pretty unlikely.
I wonder if part of that may have been a conscious decision by Hasbro that everything (unless i am mistaken/forgetting someone) outside of Blaster and (kind of) the 2 Optimus molds has a Cybertronian alt mode aesthetic, unlike Combiner Wars where EVERYTHING was (more or less) Earth-based/realistic except the Technobots…

They've each got three modes: ride-on vehicle/beast, combined vehicle/beast, and 5mm weapon.
e.g. Squeezeplay's one can be a dragon for him to ride, combine with him to form a T. rex, or turn into a 5mm gun to give to a bigger figure alongside the Squeezeplay head.

Besides being a vehicle thing for the head figure, what else does it do? They look like they transform a little. Do they become weapons or something for larger figures?

If we get a toy Siren head, that to me will prove he and Nightbeat are going to receive full bodies with their comic heads. We do need those two, along with the Horrorcons (aka ACTUAL headmaster characters) to get full updates in this line. I don't see how Hasbro could justify not giving Nightbeat a proper update in this line, the character is just too popular and important to ignore.
As for other "Titan Masters", I kinda expect a big box of alternate heads (like red visor Soundwave, the unique Takara heads, etc…) somewhere down the line. Maybe for 2017's "May Mayhem"….

I like these little guys. Probably won't use them as alternate heads though unless proper bodies are released. Although I can see Terri-Bull working good with Triggerhappy…..
These will probably be a hit with kids and non-collector parents, for when junior looses a head and it can be replaced for $5 instead of $17 or $24 or $45 and junior doesn't care that the head color don't match the body.

I really like the little Nightbeat, but the others aren't my thing. That's assuming they'll even get distributed over here though
JukeOutlander
Nightbeat looks a lil confused.
rattrap007
Easy pass
deathdrive
I maintain that these figures should all be original characters instead of "man i wish this was a full figure" characters. Hopefully we get nice repaints of them into new characters that are partners to the bigger guys
Johntimus Prime
This could be a new direction for 3Ps. Especially Horribull, Apeface, and the other guys who got shafted.
Obvious Prime
Not interested in any of these, but I'll buy that tiny Apeface in a heartbeat.
Rewind
I'm into Little Dudes enough where I'll want all of these. However I would prefer that they were sold two headmaster figures per package rather than the janky little vehicle things.
Dinodigger97
The only guy I'm interested in is Crashbash and that's less for the Crashbash himself and more for his lil' Cat-Dog esque wyvern/dinosaur buddy.

I kind of like these, despite the very valid criticisms pointed out on this thread. But on the other side of that negative coin, these are cute for kids, and just scream, "MIGHTY MAX!"
If you believe Hasbro hacks (I mean, "Reps") at Botcon, Hasbro will release bodies, MAYBE, depending on fan reaction, sales, etc. A Hasbro rep directly told me that "nothing is off the table" for this line… however, I'd warn that likely a lot of the line is already planned and dedicated, so I don't know how much I believe them, given how poorly Victorion turned out (and the generally insane design for Windblade).
As a bonus, 3Ps are going to have the chance to mass produce tiny heads at a fraction of the cost/risk of MP toys, AND there's going to be lots of demand for the heads! It's kind of a windfall for 3Ps, and I'm sure we'll see 4-5 new companies spring forth, like a regenerating, decapitated Hydra!
