Maketoys website is very active these days. We have another set of images to share with you. This time we have a look at Maketoys Re:Master Series MTRM-14 Grandmein (Masterpiece Scaled G1 Highbrow With Gort) Prototype.
MTRM-14 Grandmein brings us a cartoon-accurate representation of G1 Highbrow in both robot and Cybertronian twin-rotor helicopter modes. We also have a look at his Headmaster Gort, who is a very nice sculpted little figure. Ideal for your Masterpiece collection, Grandmein joins to the previous Maketoys G1 Autobot Headmasters releases: MTRM-01 Cupola (Brainstorm) and MTRM-04 Iron Will (Hardhead). Only one more release to complete the G1 Autobot Headmasters.
No release date or price information at the moment, but you can now click on the bar to check out the mirrored imaged on this news post. After that, you can join to the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Boards!

Some might argue that a level of dementia is a requirement for participation on this website…

Always good to hear from another person of culture!

Too late for me, dementia set in once I past 45….

Love the quote in your signature. Instantly recognized it!

The big deal is that I am ever so slowly, but inevitably, marching towards the grave. If it’s going to happen, I would like Highbrow to be released before I expire. Preferably before dementia sets in.

Hey, we waited 3 or 4 years for them to finish the last 2 Coneheads, what's the big deal to wait another 3-4 years for their last 2 Headmasters.
The MT aesthetic will be back in-style by then…………

i’m not sure i can stand the collective “never” dispair waiting for it if that happens. And it would be the last one to make the 4, so even worse than in this one.
all i can hope is that these seeker repaints are giving hem what they need to move forward.
SuperMegaAutobot
No worries, didn’t mean to come off as “actually”, i just dislike when we go into periodic “never” spirals in this thread and got triggered lol

A basic render of a Brainstorm from Maketoys would have me believing all over again

Oh, okay; I see where we crossed wires. I was talking about the redesign image that they put out last year, not the OG prototype from 2017. Probably could have phrased it better, but that was what I intended.
SuperMegaAutobot
“we haven’t seen any thing since the original promo picture” when i literally linked you to a comparison of the original promo picture and the mostly redesigned one. If that’s not “any thing” that could possibly explain the delay, well *shrug*.
If we’re gonna do the “never coming out” thing again, we can at least be accurate about the history. But i’m not gonna argue about it. like you, i just hope they someday release it (not taking as long FT for some things but i digress lol)

What part isn't true? They put out the promotional CAD images last January and stores set up preorders with a June release date. Since then we've seen zero physical prototypes or display pieces and the only updates have been a guy who knows a guy who knows Maketoys coming in occasionally to say they heard it was delayed until next month again.
I want this figure. I have the other MT Headmasters and I desperately want to complete the set. I have an open preorder on it that I'm not going to cancel. I still don't have any real faith that it will ever actually exist. At this point, it seems like Maketoys is either unwilling to or incapable of doing anything other than Starscream repaints.
SuperMegaAutobot
Untrue, but don’t let me stand in the way of the latest FUD cycle about this.
