Heads will roll......and battle

Headmasters kick started where the previous 4 season ended, with Rodimus Prime (or Rodimus Convoy, as this series was made in japan) continued the battle against Galvatron, and eventually hooked up with the Headmasters, whom are from a planet called Masters.

I quoted this from Wikipedia for more detail about their origin :

Millions of years ago, during the wars on Cybertron, many Autobots fled the planet to escape the conflict. One such group was a collection of diminutive Transformers, led by the robot called Fortress (the Japanese equivalent of Cerebros), who eventually settled on the planet Master. However, Master proved to be a world of harsh environment, and so, in order to survive, the small Transformers constructed larger, lifeless bodies called Transtectors, and modified their forms so that they could transform into heads, in order to attach to and control the Transtectors. Chromedome, Brainstorm, Hardhead, Highbrow, Weirdwolf, Mindwipe, and Skullcruncher underwent this process, but soon the latter three turned to the side of evil under the leadership of Scorponok (Lord Zarak), who made contact with Galvatron, and joined with him in his renewed attack on Cybertron in 2011

Chromedome, Brainstorm, Hardhead, Highbrow are consist of vehicles like car, tank and a helicopter, while Weirdwolf(Wolf), Mindwipe(Bat) and Skullcruncher(Crocodile) are mostly animals. Each of the faction has their own Transformers that can transform into a base, Fotress Maximus and Scorponok.







Fotress Maximus is every TF fans' wet dream. Till today, it's still consider as the biggest Transformers toy ever made. Standing at 55cm tall, it towers over every Transformers toys you owned, and even able to go head-to-head with a 1 or 2 years old kid. Scorponok's base most unique part is the small lift, and if I am not mistaken, it has a small electronic part to operate too. Scorponok is also a must-have for many, even though his height is not as mighty as Fotress Maximus, whom will be reissued a decade later, only in different colour and lack of accessories from this version.

Next series will be about a group of Transformers than can REALLY disguise among human, not in vehicle mode but in human skin.
