Wings? Flying transformer? Subject? Vodka. No Transformer drinks vodka.
BUT! There was that episode of the cartoon where everyone got drunk. Did someone fly in that.
THE ANSWER IS...DIRGE!!!

Dance. Who dances? In the Headmaster cartoon they said: "NOW SEE A MAN-EATING PLANT THAT CAN DANCE!" Who was in that episode? The four warriors from the sky. Ralph loves the Star Dub of Headmasters so this is a favourite subject. Ok, but do they have multiple toys? Highbrow? No. Hardhead? Yes, can think of at least three. And there was an episode where he danced! Dance was a clue.
It's Hardhead, Phil! Hardhead! I have cracked it!!!

We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance Well they're no friends of mine I say, we can go where we want to, A place where they will never find And we can act like we come from out of this world Leave the real one far behind, And we can dance

Shall we explain the clue? Thursday Tease: I'm predicting some minor carnage this week as we render useless the wings of one of Ralph's favourite subject and stop it coming in for a drink or a dance! Oh wait Jim has already ;-) C-clips and compatible bars? (Carnage in C-minor, clipped wings, being barred) -Jim Well done!

Ralph is nor fond of the c-clip gimmick. The swapping weapons between toys really offends him. He will be along to explain why shortly I'm sure.

Jim! Good to hear from you! How's Germany working out? Good, good! Turning out to be a natural break on collecting habits, as a TR/CW deluxe retails at €30 (an imported UW set is cheaper than putting together a combiner at retail prices) -Jim

Week 185: C-Clip & BarYour top 5 toys that feature the c-clip & bar gimmick. See tfwiki.net/wiki/C_joint for details. I liked this gimmick in principle, though must admit I didn't make much of use of it. 5. DOTM Vortex - I prefer this variant to Tomahawk et al 4. ROTF Skystalker - one of the highlights of that line 3. HA Whirl - probably where I had the most fun with c-clips, as he should be heavily armed 2. United Stepper - speakers on c-clips! I think this is my favourite variant, though they're all good... 1. STRAXUS! For it is he-Jim

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.... I'm very fond of this gimmick. But there's problems with it: Some of the toys with the best weapons like ROTF Recon Ironhide and DOTM Backfire, aren't that good and there's a mountain of toys, like HDTD Seaspray and RTS Lugnut with plenty of bars and no clip on weapons. There really needed to be Survival Kit/Battle Gear like packs of the weapons 5) JazzFold out shoulder speakers that combine with the gun to form a bigger weapon! 4) TomahawkMissile launchers, I'd have them in a weapons pack. 3) WheeljackThree weapons so plenty of options. Very good toy too. 2) KupOne weapon, but it's a a good one, and plenty of places to put it and weapons borrowed from other toys. 1) Darkmount(Straxus)Lots of weapons, lots of places to put them.

I don't know why you talk of C-section things, Phil. Hardhead doesn't have one of those.
