Takara Transformers Legends, LG-21 Headmaster Hardhead.

 HEADMASTER HARDHEAD
(CLICK THE PICTURES TO ENLARGE [ALL MY PICS DIMENSIONS IS 1000x1000px OR 1920x1080px])

Hardhead
is a soldier to his core. A soldier with a stubborn streak a megamile wide. He's stubborn to the point of rejecting outright any path but his own, any idea that goes against his natural instinct or inclination (namely fighting), and any advice he didn't come up with himself. He doesn't talk much, and when he does, it tends to be blunt and terse, if not outright rude. A soldier doesn't waste time on social niceties when there's a war to fight.

Perhaps surprisingly, given his limited social aptitude, Hardhead has found a good companion in Duros, his binary-bonded Nebulan partner, who enjoys warfare just as much as Hardhead does. The two mesh so well, it's been said that theirs may be the best match among all the Autobot-Nebulan teams.



Alt mode 360 GIF.

Didn't expect Hasbro/Takara Hardhead would be that good, simple transformations, nice detailng, well done.

Bottom of the tank, with translucent wheels.

Headmaster Ros in the cockpit. That translucent cockpit door looks really great on the tank.

Tank's cockpit.

The rifle can plug on the hole on the cannon.

Flip up the cover to reveal the seat for Headmasters.

Back.

There is four pegs around the alt mode for Headmaster figures to stand on. This function remind me of Starcom, which the passenger can stand on the tank, but the different is, Starcom is using magnets to do that.

With the gun turret removed.

This shows the rifle plug on the turret area.

Alt mode equiped with Galvatron's cannon.

Comparing to Skullcruncher in alt mode.

Skullcruncher is very long compare to other Headmaster.

Tank mode compare to Galvatron.

Headmaster Ros. (360 GIF)

Compare with other two Headmaster Grax and Megatron.

In head mode.

Robot mode 360 GIF.

Close up details. Those holes on the chest is hollow.

Head can turn 360 easily, but the barrel is kind of get in the way.

Arms articulations, acceptable.

Knee can bend 90 degree.

The cannon is retractable on the back.

Hardhead's weapon, a rifle.

Kind of look like H&K G36.

This rifle is more like a tactical weapon, but Hardhead is an army guy...

With the cannon held on hand.

If this was loaded with spring shooter, that would be very nice.

Handheld cannon, neat.

Ros on tankette. A very cute tank vehicle.

It can transform into plane, and I found out that Headmasters can also combine with the plane too.

What kind of weapon is this!?

I'm shifting around the weapons to try how it look, cool.

Another example.

Galvatron's cannon on the shoulder.

Megatron finally gets a body that ressemble his old self with back tube, lol.

Headmasters comparing.

Compares with other series fellow Autobots.

Headmasters fought through Millennia, until now, they're still fighting each others, they should be compatriots on planet Master...

Figma 298 MGS2, Gurlukovich Soldier. (with GSOS online order bonus shotgun!)

GURLUKOVICH SOLDIER
(CLICK THE PICTURES TO ENLARGE [ALL MY PICS DIMENSIONS IS 1000x1000px OR 1920x1080px])

The Gurlukovich Mercenaries
also known as Gurlukovich Soldiers, were an army of over 1,000 Russian mercenaries, comprising former Spetsnaz GRU soldiers. The mercenaries were involved in the Tanker Incident in 2007 and the Big Shell Incident in 2009. The army was commanded by Sergei Gurlukovich and later by his daughter Olga Gurlukovich.

The Gurlukovich Mercenaries were formed by GRU colonel Sergei Gurlukovich after the collapse of the Soviet Union, bringing together former Soviet soldiers who had been left unemployed after the reorganization of the Red Army, and who had nowhere else to go. Their main goal under Colonel Gurlukovich was to restore Russia to its former glory as a world superpower.
