Unique Toys have updated their Weibo with images of their new Palm Series releases – the “No Minds and Unhappy” set of their takes on Cerebros and Apeface, and the “Day and Night” set of their versions of Highbrow and Snapdragon. Each one is a tiny roughly Legends scaled release, fully transformable and complete with incredibly tiny Headmasters. Their not-Snapdragon even has an option for dragon-like wings involving his weapons – something we hope Hasbro also incorporates into their own, official Snapdragon when it eventually comes our way.

It begun just as a proof of concept to see if my Unique Toys Day (Cerebros) can be connected to an eventually scratch build body (because Unique Toys never give us one), but becomes so fun that I ended building an entire body prototype based on Marvel original comics version (much smaller and no base/city mode); for now my priority are my other projects (Metroplex, IDW Omega Supreme and Powermaster Optimus Prime), but as I said, this was really fun and easy to make so I hope some day build a refined, stylized and color accurate version.

BTW, no parts forming, it really transform in this preliminary state and the connection between Day and body fits almost too perfect so if someone wants to try it's easy and I'll really like to see a better version than mine.

great photos. i love the horrorcons….i love the plastic they used. cant believe they crammed three modes out of that and the headmaster too.

Got my No Minds and Unhappy set the other day. Highbrow will get pics with the other Headmasters later.
I know MFT will get to the Horrorcons at some point, but I love the G1 toys and can enjoy these for a while before something better and bigger comes along.

The one from LG31 (Takara's Legends Fortress Maximus).

Which 'Master are you using here?

So it turns out that putting a Titan Master on Day gets into the ballpark of the proportions of G1 Cerebros. =D

I'm tempted to get a spare and carve the port in the neck joint to the proper size for Titan Masters since the ball joint is a real pain to remove and replace and I lack 3-d modeling skills to make a shapeways part for print, cos it seems appropriate for Cerebros to have a huge noggin.

(I popped out the neck joint and just sat the Titan Master there for the photo.)

Ah crap well I already promised him to someone else when I get the set in. I love figures with head modes for some reason tho so I’ll be happy. I keep my PE Warden in head mode.
Ozymandias13
Truth be told, Snaps is the better of the two and well worth keeping.

I thought about getting rid of Snapdragon, but I now that I have him in hand I like how easily transforms between all three modes.
GrimLocke
I could buy Snapdragon off of ya, if you’d like. If that interests you, you can PM me.
Shmoptimus Prime
Is there any way to just get their cerebros?

FWIW, I've discovered Unique Toys' Day/Cerebro's headmode scales well with Master Made's ApollOmega Supreme:
I still await my Upgrade Bust set and won't do anything until it arrives; but it shouldn't be a lot of work to pare down the pegball post Apollo's head attaches to on his li'l minitank to accept Dayrebro's neck socket if I don't mind losing Apollo's current head as an option.

Yes. It's scaled for TR Fortress Maximus. – SND-07 Bastion Armory: Quartermaster Rotodon (Titans Return Style Cog)

Ugh, sorry.. my bad. Misread what you said about UT making announcements.
But take it as a compliment… your figure's prototype looks as good as UT's ^_^
….but I still think UT is working on a complete Fort Max.
Cha Chi
Sorry this not UT. This is just my design for shapeways, still in progress. he's been turned to headmaster thats just like the ut ones.
IronMagnus
Okay… they HAVE to be working on some kind of a Fort Max. First they make the head, now they're making Cog…
Cha Chi
Thanks
Theres been a bit of news lately, to what do you refer, a 3p cog figure? I don't pay an awful lot of attention anything beyond legends.
daimchoc
Nice. Did you see the upcoming figure from S.N.D.?
Cha Chi
Just wait, we thought the line might have ended before but it didn't, UT announce these in their own time. I am sure their are a lot of palm collection fans who are asking for more, the line ain't over.
I have never seen them reveal at a con before either.
Anyway i got a new headmaster.

i'm still kind of in awe that we got both horrocons from them, and they are beautiful. i'd even scoop up any repaints, like a black chromedome
