The Headmaster Juniors (ヘッドマスターJr Heddomasutā Junia) are a group of Earth humans selected by the Autobots and the Decepticons to fight by their side. They use a form of technology called Master-Braces to armor-up their bodies and allow themselves to transform into the heads of transtectors.

- Headmaster Juniors (The Headmasters, 1988)
- The three 1988 Autobot Headmaster Juniors transform into Earthly land vehicles while the three Decepticons transform into fictional monsters. The Head-robot figures are considerably smaller and simpler than those of the 1987 Headmasters, although they are backwards compatible with the previous year's figures. In fact, when plugged into 1987 Headmaster bodies, the 1988 figures display the Tech Spec readouts for their 1988 robot counterparts, suggesting the simplification of the tumbler system on the Tech Spec readouts into a simple fixed display to have been a late design decision. Each Autobot comes with a "helmet" to complete the robot's head; the helmet doubles as a vehicle-mode "seat" for the figure to sit in. Two small pistols attach to the "helmet" in robot mode to complete the head. The Decepticon figures do not sport additional "helmets" and pistol/antennae. Minerva and Goshooter were also released as mail-aways in the decos of their Hasbro counterparts.[1]

[edit]- ↑ The other four Headmaster Juniors already had decos identical to their Hasbro counterparts.
