Readers of classic G1 Marvel UK comics should remember Death’s Head. He was a great character introduced in several key arcs of the main G1 Marvel UK story, specially during Galvatron’s timejump to the then-present day, with Rodimus and others in pursuit. The charismatic and self proclaimed “Freelance Peacekeeping Agent” (never call him a bounty hunter, never) was never seen in the Transformers US Marvel pages, but he was later introduced into other Marvel titles from time to time.
Marvel’s upcoming Infinity Countdown event is bringing several tie-in titles. We see the comeback of Marvel’s 90’s character: Darkhawk with his own 4-issue mini-series. Good-old Death’s Head will be on the textless cover variant of issue #1 by artist Ron Lim. As we should expect, the cover shows Death’s Head in combat with Darkhawk.

Had a read. It's fun once DH shows up, but he's more of a stylized design and not in his 'G1' form shown in the OP.
Acteon
I liked the blue and red design, but am happy to take either.
I’ll just leave this here, yes?

Still blows my mind that we don\'t have a 6\" Marvel Legends of Death\'s Head 1. They made DH2 from the 90\'s, and they made a MU version of DH1, but no 6\" version. Get your shit together, Hasbro.

Liked this so much I've just changed my image!

The cover pictured in the site article is also on sale.

yep like me he's probably my favourite character to come from the g1 comics i wouldn't have known about this one if @shadow panther ( thankyou ) had not posted it here
i will be buying this just for deathshead

I know who he is, I just think it’s a bit irrelevant. Cool to know what he is up to though. Yes?

Prefer Death's Head in correct scale, and never liked the blue redesign, too heroic; Death's head looked better in S.W.O.R.D., and IRONMAN right?
PANTSMAN1973
It doesn't affect Transformers today. But it is of interest to some Transformers fans. Deaths Head featured in many Transformers UK comics back in the day. So it does belong here.
Digger
Why is this here? It doesn’t really affect transformers.

Slight redesign of Deaths Head there. He has lost his chin spikes!
Optional Prime
i liked the original red+green colours… no need for blue.

Dang this guy really gets around. "It be cool to actually see him in IDW transformers yes ?"
"Don't know if that would work out though with him being a marvel character and all that no ?"
(Think I'm getting the hang of this yes ?)

Would someone care to enlighten me, I\'ve heard about death\'s head from time to time but I\'m still a little unclear about who/what exactly he is ?
(I do seem to vaguely recall reading a reference about him in IDW Lost Light if I\'m remembering correctly)

Death’s Head is making a comeback that could mean a possible Marvel Legend (6 Inch), yes?

I remember Darkhawk in a crossover with Spider Man, Nova and Moon Knight, and I believe they were fighting Moon Knight’s former sidekick who went full Terminator.
Also I second Death’s Head in the MCU.

Deaths Head as part of the MCU…. That would be epic!

Can I get this as a poster? That looks sick.
If you haven't, read Brian Michael Bendis's Spider-Man stories. I've really grown attached to the Miles Morales character, and Brian's work on the series gives me a lot of faith in him being able to work that same magic for Superman.
