From what I was told, someone flagged a post since it was a bit suggestive, and a moderator looked through and closed the discussion. Since there were screenshots of twitter comments and various suggestive content was being posted on there, it ended up getting closed.
Most weren’t bad initially, but mentioned topics or content that probably shouldn’t be discussed on here. In other words, borderline.
Well, since the school web blocked Youtube, so “Posting a random meme for no reason” thinging could be end in #130 because I only have 3 more memes left.
@John_Shrekinson and anyone else who’s into Transformer figures or whatnot.
I was at a flea market today and found a bag of various miniatures for like $2. I saw a G1 Headmaster in there and thought it was a pretty good deal since they are hard to find and kind of rare.
After I bought it and went home, I decided to look it up to see which figure it belonged to. It was much larger than traditional G1 Headmasters because I own another original. Turns it, it’s the headmaster for G1 Fortress Maximus. Apparently the only two listings for it on eBay was over $100 apiece, just for the headmaster alone. I don’t know if mine is from a reissue or a KO since it’s looks almost mint, but you never know.
I’m pretty sure the headmaster for Fortress Maximus is a normal transformer that basically pilots this huge body.
I will admit, Headmasters aren’t the coolest type of figures as they are kind of cheap in design, using a detachable head and thus adding more useless accessories, but I still find it a cool gimic for the older toys.
Lore wise, headmasters are confusing since some of the heads are actually modified humans that can pilot a transforming body and some are just a minicon that does the same thing. I think the G1 stuff were basically minicons.
In later universes, some were humans or at least in some of the comics I got. Apparently in one book, skorponok was actually a human pilot, that was the head for a normal transformer, that became the head of skorponok, since G1 skorponok was a Titan class. Very weird concept, but if I find any vintage figure in the wild, I’m gonna grab it.
I just finished a 4 hour call with my friend noah (@Deadly_Deather) and he has gotten like 20x funnier then last time, he is such a nice guys (we also used cai because he said “i want to test my rizzing skills”)
I would love to try to reform the OTC again but my hands are completely full managing my extremely quickly growing Twitch, Youtube and Discord channel. I’ll try to promote good conversation when I can.
