I can't wait to get my hands on it....it is freekin sweet. Is there going to an additional sticker set for the upgrade? It looks like a different figure....I get a very strong Autobot vibe from this guy.

I think it needs more grey stickers rather than red; otherwise, I may end up getting the upgrade set to complement my Energon Scorponok, Universe 2.0 Hardhead, & Botcon Weirdwolf.

From the pics above it looks like the Henkei mold of the figure was used for the preview and not the Universe one. If that's the case, can we see it on the Universe figure for comparison?

It's meh. I like it as Hardhead better, personally. But, I mean, $40 for this exclusive is a pretty good freakin deal considering it sold for $3x.xx as a mass release item and didn't have a sticker set. If I didn't have Hardhead, I would probably be excited for this too.

the price doesn't include the Universe Onslaught. You have to supply your own. it's just the head, backpack, guns and stickers.

I agree. The sticker sheet was not designed by Headrobots. They originally wanted gray stickers to cover up the green parts.

Oh no, I realize that. The Headrobots set for Hardhead was approx $35 by itself. If the exclusive was $40 with Onslaught, that would be the BEST DEAL EVER LOL!

I like the Headmaster, but as for the Fort max stickers, it doesn't really say Fort Max to me. Maybe if the head actually looked like Fortress/Spike, and not a black and grey Hardhead.

I can totally see Fortress with this head. That said I'm underwhelmed by the stickers, and will likely do a repaint instead.
