Revision as of 23:56, 1 January 2008
| This article is about the Headmaster from Generation 1. For the Predacon from Beast Wars Neo, see Hardhead (BWN). |
- Hardhead is an Autobot Headmaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Hardhead is a soldier to his core. A soldier with a stubborn streak a megamile wide. He's stubborn to the point of rejecting outright any path but his own, any idea that goes against his natural instinct or inclination (namely fighting), and any advice he didn't come up with himself. He doesn't talk much, and when he does, it tends to be blunt and terse, if not outright rude. A soldier doesn't waste time on social niceties when there's a war to fight.
Perhaps surprisingly, given his limited social aptitude, Hardhead has found a good companion in Duros, his binary-bonded Nebulan partner, who enjoys warfare just as much as Hardhead does. The two mesh so well, it's been said that theirs may be the best match among all the Autobot-Nebulan teams.
- Italian name: Blindobot
- Japanese name: Ros (head unit only, see below)
- French-Canadian name: Tête-Dure
Fiction
Animated continuity
"The Rebirth" miniseries (North America)
- Voice actor: Stephen Keener
Hardhead is grumpy.
Headmasters (Japan)
- Voice actor: Masato Hirano
"Hardhead" is the name of the combined small Master robot and the larger transtector vehicle/robot body. When separated from his transtector, Hardhead is called Ros.
Hardhead can't hold his energon wine very well. One drink and he wants to karaoke!
Marvel comic continuity
During the battle with Unicron, Hardhead and Bomb-Burst pushed a large artillery piece into its position, only to get stepped on by Unicron's giant foot. On the Edge of Extinction!
IDW comic continuity
Prior to the Brasnya incident, Hardhead was ordered by Optimus Prime to Earth on the Ark-32 with Hot Rod. The two arrived right in the middle of the battle, although Hot Rod sped away after the facsimile before Hardhead could stop him to report their presence. He engaged in battle with Astrotrain, apparently dealing enough damage to the triple-changer that Blitzwing had to call in reinforcements. When Megatron seemingly defeated Optimus Prime, Hardhead attempted (futilely) to damage him with repeated cannon blasts. Escalation
He would eventually regroup with his teammates after the battle and was among them during Sixshot's surprise assault on the Ark-19. Devastation
Toys
Generation 1
- Hardhead (Headmaster, 1987)
- Japanese ID number: C-102
- Accessories: "Duros" Headmaster "Tank Commander", 2 "Shatterblasters"
- Hardhead transforms into a Cybertronian self-propelled artillery gun. Like many Transformers of this era, he can store his rifles in 5mm peg holes in his vehicle mode, and his Headmaster, Duros, can ride inside his cockpit. Duros transforms into his head, which, when attached to Hardhead's robot mode, activates a simplified, spring-loaded Tech Spec meter hidden under a panel on his chest. This gimmick works with any other Headmaster "pilot" figure.
- In robot mode, Hardhead is unusually tall for a toy of his price point, as the tank basically flips on end and extends to transform. As to be expected, Hardhead has rather limited articulation.
