Blog #2042: Toy Review: Transformers: Generations: Retro Headmasters Deluxe Class Weirdwolf

Transformers: Generations: Retro Headmasters Deluxe Class Weirdwolf

A few words about the box. It’s gorgeous. A beautiful G1 box complete with box flap. When I saw pictures, I was thrilled that they were finally reissuing the G1 Headmasters! Then I realized what was actually in the boxes, and I was distinctively less excited. Having said that, at least they are repainted and not the same toys in new boxes.

Hasbro used the G1 toy accurate heads from the Transformers: Legends line, but they used the more G1 accurate paint jobs.

Previous Mold Use: Titans Return Deluxe Class Wolfwire, Takara Legends Deluxe Class Weirdwolf

Weirdwolf got his name back. Regrettably, Monzo was not as lucky. He has a much more G1 accurate paintjob, and uses the Takara Legends head. Unfortunately, you can take G1 accuracy too far. I loved the silver paint on his claws of the other releases. It would have been nice to keep those.

Overall: If you have this mold and aren’t a completist, then you can probably skip Weirdwolf, unless you just want to display him in the awesome box.

Thanks for reading!
