Talk:Headmaster (technology)

There may be some need of continuity separation here. Daniel was never a headmaster in the comic. I'm not sure that's worth an entire rewrite, though. We could probably write around it. --ItsWalky 13:57, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, it's a tricky thing to handle. Didn't want to leave it out (since both Arcee and Daniel's pages specifically mention the Headmaster thing), but at the same time I can see how it might be confusing. Ah, well, this is just the first draft. We'll tweak it as we go. --Dataraven 13:59, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Under "technology"... there are the Headmaster Jr.s yet unaddressed. They certainly don't seem to have undergone any kind of cyborg-surgery, but they curl up into head modes just fine, and certainly aren't in any larger, bulkier armors. (At least that transformation as depicted in the cartoon isn't as painful-looking as the Godmasters... --M Sipher 18:05, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Fiction section

Given the presence of Headmasters in multiple continuities now, it really is time we gave this article a proper fiction section differentiated by continuity. After all, there are even differences between Marvel Comics and G1 animated here. Add in Headmasters/Masterforce and the IDW take on Headmasters and you've got enough grist for it I think.--Rosicrucian 18:50, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Sentience

Part of the article currently reads: "there have been cases where the head (such as Cerebros in the G1 Cartoon) [...] are non-sentient constructs controlled entirely by the other partner." Cerebros in the G1 Cartoon was sentient - he didn't stop complaining about fighting through the entirety of Rebirth. Maybe in the comics (I don't know, never read them), but it does specifically say the cartoon. (And his counterpart in the Japanese G1 cartoon was the very sentient Fortress.) RiD Maximus was obviously full of non-sentience. 121.44.196.130 13:11, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

move page

Instead of Headmaster (technology), what about "Headmaster (G1)"? --MistaTee 05:08, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I do not think we would be well-served making this a continuity-specific page.--Rosicrucian^Talk 16:22, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Totally,there is too much confusion with The character who uses it as a name right now. --Decepticon Rhinox 14:02, 17 march 2008.

IDW

In IDW, doesn't "Headmasters" refer specifically to the group of human-piloted Sunstreaker clones working for the Machination, rather than the process or the concept? In the same way, say, "Neo-Knights" doesn't refer to the concept of super-powered humans in Marvel G1, but to that specific group. Or how the "Headmaster" in Animated is a specific character rather than a concept. - SanityOrMadness 04:42, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

There is technology, researched by the Zarak Consortium, Scorponok, and the Machination, which produces Headmasters. As this is a fairly close analogue as to how the Headmaster technology was developed in the main G1 continuity, what are you suggesting we do here?--Rosicrucian^Talk 16:03, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Mecha?

Is the headmaster technology a type of a mecha? i mean its just like the `Zord` technology in Power Ranger...

No. Sentient Cybertronians and small organics of varying types (or other sentient Cybertronians) combine together so the smaller one forms a head. Mecha usually are sparkless robots with little to no intelligence. They're more like Mecha in Japan, but still they're a bit different. Also, sign your posts. Escargon 17:07, 18 October 2013 (EDT)

Fiction only Headmasters

Am I the only one not comfortable with having Fortress Maximus and Scorponok listed there? I mean, yeah, those particular partners aren't available in toy form, but it still just doesn't feel like they belong. --Khajidha (talk) 08:39, 15 January 2019 (EST)

Maybe just change it to focus on the partner instead of the bulk? Like "Galen as the partner to Fortress Maximus"? --Khajidha (talk) 08:41, 15 January 2019 (EST)
