1) TFSS 3.0I very nearly hunted one of these down, but for the price. Why Barricade has not come into general use as a standard evil Prowl repaint beats me. This looks fab. Hasbro, I have money for a CW Barricade! I was the same, but I got lucky and pieced together a complete one from Botcons "Lets make a Deal" table. I think it cost $5.

Can anyone remember which show Roger Ramjet was shown as part of? No idea. But Wikipedia says it was broadcast on BBC and ITV from 1979 to 1994 so it must have cropped up in lots of places.

There are four Hardheads. Just. 1987, Universe 2 Wal Mart Ultra, Titans Returm and Legends, the last two of which are nearly the same toy?
Who is the fifth?
I have this sinking feeling looking at that list that I've forgotten one!

I have a small confession to make:
Although I don't ever recall Burns saying there were 5 Hardheads, I have been aware that the number of their counting was FIVE for sometime.
In fact, as of this coming weekend it'll be six. You can argue a 7th under the "because it is" rule. Plus an additional Eigth unmade one that features on instructions and the Hasbro computer.
I had been planning, with suitable comedy, to do Hardhead next week in week 199, but I think we'll bring it forward a week and delay this week's installments of the Combiner Wars polls till next ŵeek.

It appears Burns listed te five Hardheads when answering a totally different subject. Top 5 Hardhead toys: 1: 1987 Headmaster. 2: Universe 2 Hardhead. 3: Titans Return Hardhead. 4: Japanese version of TR Hardhead. 5: Beast Wars Neo Hardhead. -Ralph We appreciate Burns' enthusiasm for Hardhead. However....
