Talk:Headmaster (Animated)

So, judging by the picture he's not a human villain?--Rosicrucian^Talk 01:56, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't rule out his humanness. --ItsWalky 02:04, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Most Headmasters do need suits to combine with their partners. -- SFH 03:46, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Am I nuts, or does Headmaster look like an evil version of Fort Max's head?--MCRG 19:08, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Kinda. It's might be hard for others, what with proportions in this series, but I can see it..-- SFH 19:10, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

It seems more apparent to me on the toy than on the animated model, with there being some parallels in the the shape of the antennae off the sides and way the forehead is shaped. I think it's similar to the old Fort Max animation/comics model than the original toy. And he is named Headmaster, of course, but I'm not going to push the point, since it's even a little vague to me--MCRG 21:23, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

The ear-fangles definitely seem at least inspired by Fort Max. -Derik 23:14, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I think the design, particularly the ear things, harken more to Marvel's Galactus than to Fort Max. But, to each his own. Ronimus Prime 15:49, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Annoying

Is it me, or did they go out of their way to make this guy the most annoying character ever? -- SFH 17:03, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

He beats out Wheelie, Daniel and even Nightscream, so, yeah. Dynamus Prime 17:46, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

He's tied with Kicker in that catagory in my opinion, although I must admit that Henry was a good way to put in a tribute to the G1 Headmasters, as were Meltdown's mutant lawyer and other guy looking exactly like pretenders. AutobotFreak643 21:24, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

A super-lame idea; re-write the entire article...in leet-speek. Takeshi357 15:54, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Should I... Or shouldn't I?--Dynamus Prime 15:20, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

You very much shouldn't.--Rosicrucian^Talk 15:27, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Lagann?

Honestly-really, it does look like the exposed brain motif of the Headmaster unit hearkens visually to this Lagann doohickey. There's pretty unanimous opinion on Allspark that Bumblebee's glowing-hand dance from "Nature Calls" was a Lagann ref, and if that is correct, it's reasonable to expect the animators could have put in another one. There's no harm in saying that, albeit the 1200+ word length of the typical Lagann fanboy edits showing up here recently is way the hell overkill.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.73.174.144 (talk • contribs).

It's nice to know there's a concensus forming. However, we'd still prefer to have firmer evidence for something like this. See my comment on 143.239.7.2's Talk page. If animation staff members attend BotCon or Comic-Con International, I'm sure the question will come up, and with luck, it'll receive a straight answer that will settle the matter.--Apcog 02:08, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Giant robot head does not a Lagann reference automatically make. You know what also has a robot head that turns into a robot that can attach to other bodies? Fortress Maximus. And Chromedome. And Scorponok. And Hardhead. And Squeezeplay. And every other Headmaster ever. So no, they're pretty much grasping at straws until Derrick Wyatt actually says somewhere, "Hey, yes, I dumped a bunch of Gurren Lagann references into Animated and Headmaster is one of them."--MCRG 02:06, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I swear to God, if I have to hear about how some arbitrary thing in Animated is "totally a Gurren Lagann reference" once more, I think I'm going to snap and kill someone. - Chris McFeely 10:14, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Move?

Everyone calls this guy "Masterson." Yes, he called himself "The Headmaster," but everyone pretty much ignored that. Should the page move to Henry Masterson? - Starfield 00:54, 17 June 2009 (EDT)

Well, seeing as you click on the link to Masterson—or put it in the search bar—it redirects it this page. I'm for the move. Anyone else have a say?--AWT88 01:34, 17 June 2009 (EDT)
