Wow, those Combaticons are... uhm... ridgy.
Big fan of Onslaught. Vortex's colour scheme is a bit iffy. They could have at least given Blast-Off a new head rather than making him look like Slingshot's had a mud bath.
Wacky Revenge of Bruticus fun in giving him a Shockwave gun though. Makes far more sense than "hey, Powerglide is a breastmaster now!"

See I've never really liked the conceit that the animal Headmasters have cockpits in the first place. I think it's just me reacting to the lack of in-story explanation for them. It makes sense that there'd be a physical modification made to give them some way of getting around, but it was just never covered in-fiction. We're meant to just accept that these characters already had cockpits before there was any need for them. Ho hum.
What are all the little boblits and whosits around Blaster? New "tapes"?
Rewind and Stripes? They seem to be tape/vehicle triple changer thingers.
But there's also the "Titan" Headmaster figures, who are robots, vehicles and heads. Looks like they'll be sold separately and be compatible with whichever larger figures are about:
