Fiction

Kre-O comic

Headlock and the Predacons were so cuddly and adorwable in beast mode, the Autobots could not bring themselves to fight back. The Predacons went from adorable to abominal when they formed Predaking, though, and the Autobots had a renewed fighting spirit...at least until the Predacons split into beasts again.

Notes

• Headlock is modeled after Generation 1 Tantrum, but with a new name, presumably due to trademark issues. Oddly enough, his new name is closer to Headstrong, and yet his rhino teammate got the more bull-related name "Torox". It's likely that the packaging accidentally got the names mixed up, and the name Torox was later correctly applied to Generation 1 Tantrum for his Platinum Edition toy. Torox is also the Italian name of the original Tantrum.

Foreign names

• Japanese: Headstrong (ヘッドストロング Heddosutorongu)
