Title:
Brainstorm With Arcana Brainstorm
Description:
Brainstorm (Headmaster, 1987)
Takara ID number: C-104
Accessories: "Arcana” Headmaster pilot, left & right "High-Energy Photon Pulse Cannons"
The Transformers Brainstorm transforms into a turquoise Cybertronic fighter craft. Both of Brainstorm’s twin pistols attach to the front of his alt-mode’s nosecone to extend it and augment it with two canard wings. As with all larger Headmaster toys, Brainstorm features both a cockpit suitable for his partner, Arcana, to sit in and an abbreviated Tech Specs bar graph inside his chest hidden under a hinged panel. When a compatible Headmaster head is plugged into the socket on Brainstorm’s robot mode, the bars will show three of that head unit’s Tech Specs.
Notes
In early planning stages, the Large Headmasters were to have differently styled heads that would be replaced by their more familiar heads during the Headmaster process. A commercial for Headmasters #1 featuring animation of Brainstorm and others is the only time these designs were used.The Headmasters appeared in a second commercial with much more sophisticated animation. In this entry, we see the Autobot Headmasters lined up in vehicle modes as their Nebulan partners run up into their cockpits and then launch into an attack. Additional footage of the Headmasters featured in the animated introduction to the first commercial for the Pretenders. As Brainstorm battles Mindwipe, the narration claims that after a series of defeats, the Autobots are required to up the ante by developing Pretender technology.In all three of these commercials, Brainstorm is colored in his Marvel Comics colors rather than his color scheme seen in "The Rebirth”, with his dark green and orange being replaced with cyan and yellow.Brainstorm is a Christian! In the Headmasters cartoon episode "The Four-Million-Year-Old Veil of Mystery”, when the Headmasters encounter a massacre on the planet Praum, he crosses himself.
