Power of the Primes might be taking up the Generations mantle, but we’re not done with the Titans Return series just yet! Next up we have Takara-Tomy’s Legends version of the Autobot Headmaster Chromedome!
Chromedome was already an excellent release from Hasbro, with his original boxy muscle car design perfectly suited to the Titans Return aesthetic, and his IDW inspired head being a welcome link with the comics. Takara-Tomy went a different route with their release, drawing on the Headmasters cartoon and the original toy to deliver a full on update to Generation 1 Chromedome, and depending on if you grew up with Chromedome, this might well be the version of the character to go for.
He comes with a cool drill partner, Moguru, which has been another great little touch Takara has injected into their Legends releases. Our only criticism is that Chromedome’s guns really do not live up to the ones the original came with – so good thing the original guns fit neatly into those hands.
Check out the gallery for over 200 pics of Chromedome’s Japanese release.

This made me regret I passed on all Headmasters these colors are epic!

Yeah, this was the only Takara/Tomy version I got out of the Titans Return line.
I had Chromedome as a kid and I'm a diehard Headmasters series fanatic so this Chromedome was a must have for me. Everything else was Hasbro for me. Well, Hasbro plus the 3P replacement faces for the core Autobot and Decepticon Headmasters.

The paint job looks great but I prefer Hasbro's head sculpt.

I really enjoy both versions of the mold. Fun little fidget bots for me.

Thank God for the ignore option…
Move along now.

Meh. I really dislike this mold for Chromedome. Head and alt mode aside, nothing about it really looks like Chromey. the shoulders are just wrong, the arms themselves look too stumpy, the legs are way too bulky and have the Alternators Optimus prime knees that are so far up the boot they just look dumb. oh and, seriously? a faux chest? for Chromedome? the most iconic thing about his design is the hood chest, and they just stuck it on the back lazily instead. and the fake chest doesn\'t even look good!
at least the paint\'s nice i guess, and i will not deny that that Headsculpt is ace. its just so frustrating because all the other autobot Headmasters from this line(with the possible exception of Brainstorm) feel like they were made for that mold, while chromey feels like hes a half arsed retool, even though he isn\'t. I guess Code is still my only option for a chug Chromey.
rant over, move along.

You're welcome
I've heard January for Forbidden Planet. We'll run a news item when they appear. Then I'll run to get whatever I couldn't get from Kapow.
I got that one from Amazon. It's a Gundam Action Base: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000…ction+base&dpPl=1&dpID=41hJjtAHGKL&ref=plSrch
Sometimes a bit finnicky to get balanced. But lets me do a few jumping action shots, and happily takes Voyagers.

I call this TF my GM. The front of he car mode looks like a future Chevy Monte Carlo or a Buick. I like it.

THAT HEAD DECO IS STUNNING AUGHHH!!
CleverNamePendingatron
Very nice, though as an IDW fan, I’m happy with my Hasbro version.
PlanckEpoch
This is my Chromedome! The G1 head is fantastic and was the main selling point for me. Knew I could trust Takara to do G1 Chromedome right.
Onslaught24
Ah, gotcha. I'll have to look into that.
Masktique
The only Legends headmaster I preferred over Titans Return. The head and deco is just so nicely done.

It's actually just cardboard I get from the art shop. It's light and easy to swap out / trim to fit my setup, plus inexpensive to replace when it wears down.
Only problem is if a figure balances poorly it gets all dinged up really quickly.
