Here's a look at the recent TFCC head designs I did for the upcoming Punch/CounterPunch exclusive (update to the original G-1 87' Punch doublespy toy). For a little insight into what I was going for with the design update, I went into this project trying to make the updated head look a lot more like the stylized box art head which I always liked. I was given the Japanese Headmaster cartoon look to check out, and looked over the American style sheet version and tried to take elements from those that I'd like. As for the 'mask-no mask' question with Punch's face, I was told that we were going with the more cartoon look with Punch having a face as he did during 'Rebirth', so I gave him a normal humanoid face, but added a sort of mask line on his cheeks as a tip of the hat to his toy look. The way I figure it, he could always have a battle mask come over his mouth area in the comics for that G-1 toy look otherwise. But at least he can emote alot easier with the mouth in both versions. The movable skull cap design feature allows for the toy to use either Autobot or Decep heads just like the original toy. (nothing groundbreaking on my end here. it's just an updated version with more details to the original 23 year old toy head.) Anyways, hope fans of Punch/Counterpunch approve of the new head.

The designs with other added views are posted up at botcon.com.
