Transformer of the Day for April 9, 2009

HARDHEAD

-Faction: Autobot (Headmaster)
-Era: Generation One (1984-1992)
-Function: Ground Assault
-Motto: “It’s Either My Way - Or No Way”
-Notable Toy: Regular (Hasbro, 1987)

Notes: Headmasters like Hardhead must be the hardest characters to write. At least the Headmaster cartoon (Japan) envisioned the heads as independent robots who build transforming interchangeable armour for themselves. North America had to decapitate sentinel robots and either insert driver (cartoon) or creat merged intelligence and personality. Gives one a headache. Anyway, it is nice to see Hardhead still around, in one form or another, at IDW.
