On to the next Transformers: Titans Return review, this time on the Autobot named Hardhead. Hardhead is part of a grouping of Transformers called the Headmasters. Well, that's what they were called back in the 80's. At the time this line debuted, I had already started getting disinterested in the line and was growing up into pre-teen/adulthood so I really don
t know much about the characters....only the gimmick that was being introduced.I saw the 5 part series that told the origins of the Headmasters and realized that this wasn't going to be my cup of tea. I guess others in the U.S. thought the same and the interest in the line waned a bit.
It seems, from the tfwiki, that Japan created it's own anime for this series and started to deviate from the G1 cartoon here in the states. You can check out the history of the Japanese Headmasters here.
From this series, it looks like Hardhead was 1 of 10 to undergo a rigorous training to learn the art of transformation again. It also looks like Hardhead was a partier. Check out the picture below:
I'm digging the colors on this guy and the mobility. Oh, the mobility. Just like Blurr, this guy has joints in the shoulders, elbows, hands, waist, hips, knees, and toes if you want to be technical. His gun turrent can be positioned on his right shoulder or it can be sent to the back and hang out there. Really, really a good spent dollar on this guy. And, like I mentioned below, here is a picture of him mis-transformed (love it).

The animes in Japan....man, I don't know, they add some weird stuff every now and then. So, Hardhead is a kareoke superstar, that's his sctick. He's also a soldier for the Autobot cause and that's, in part, why I like him. I also like the color pallet on this figure. Here is Hardhead shutting Blurr up from talking so much.
Okay, so here are some pictures of Hardhead from the Titans Return series from yours truly:

See you next time. I'm getting a San Diego Comic Convention exclusive in the mail either today or tomorrow so that'll be the next review.
