Legacy Minerva

It's my girl!!! Seriously, Minerva is probably my favorite Transformers girlie and even though it's been a few years, I still can't believe Hastak finally made a new toy of her.

She is not a Headmaster, however, and the Headmaster I have in the second picture in this gallery is the one that came with the Legends God Ginrai giftset. Looks good with her though.

That said, I do really wish she were a Headmaster though. Especially because - as much as I love her - her whole design aesthetic just feels a bit odd considering all later Masterforce updates.

For those unfamiliar, this toy's design is based off of her design from the 2019 IDW continuity but later toys of characters like Metalhawk, BlackZarak, etc. who also originated from the Super-God Masterforce series all lean heavily towards the original 1988 designs.

She doesn't necessarily stick out per se but it is kinda weird. Also considering we've now had updated versions of the 1988 Decepticon Headmasters and they all retain the gimmick, meanwhile Minerva is so far the only '88 Autobot Headmaster and she doesn't.

Personally, now that Hasbro has completed their updates of the 1988 Decepticon Headmasters, here's how I'd like for them to release the Autobot ones:
1. Release Hosehead, Siren, and Nightbeat as standard mass-release figures, retaining the Headmaster gimmick.
2. In a later wave, release a redeco of Siren as Goshooter and a redeco and retool of Nightbeat as Minerva (the retool would just be for a more feminine chest for relative show accuracy)
