MasterHead
Only the small black head. The larger grey body is made by Hasbro/Takara

This transforming head was created by Hirofumi Omichi as a custom head for his Fortress Maximus in the mid to late 1990's.

Hirofumi Omichi is known for his work on several custom transforming projects including a custom SkyFire and Paper Arcee.

I purchased the MasterHead piece about 3 years ago from an online collector and proceeded to try and find out where it came from. I though I'd dug up some really interesting information and created this AUCTION with what I'd found out. As it turns out I was wrong. I should have known better as I never could substantiate the info I got beyond a single source, well live and learn. After that auction I set about looking for information from the community and came up more or less empty. Still nothing solid. During this period I had many requests to duplicate this piece for sale, so after all these years I decided that it was time to give up the search and simply duplicate this piece and sell it for what it was. A very nice custom item that fit nicely into an existing toy line. Seems like when you stop looking that's when you find what you were after. This piece is no different. I have just recieved substantiated information that details this pieces creation, creator, and history. (Shown in italics below). So to everyone who's looked for information on this piece and to everyone who's taken time to tell me how wrong I've been about its origins, here you go. No more debating, no more name calling.

Hey Hal,

That little guy is one of two cast from a mold made by Hirofumi Omichi. I was in contact with him for a while and bought pieces from his collection almost ten years ago. I bought a Grand Maximus from him that he had remolded the smaller original Headmaster body and made his own cartoon accurate face and cast it. I received the one you have with Grand Max and later got an unassembled one, I still have it. The one you have was repainted by me and I had sealed it up in the little acrylic box it was sent to me in. I later traded the Grand Maximus and the head went with it. I had the other so no big deal to me. I guess the fellow I traded it to sold it to you. I am no longer collecting but I still like Transformers © and have a scant few. When I saw the post that you were making the kits and apparently it was a mystery piece I couldn't help but chuckle. If you ever saw the matrix kits with the little movie accurate holder for G1 prime Hirofumi is the same guy who made those.

So that’s the story. Good luck with those kits.
