I think it's the best TV show on (well, TV) since Deep Space Nine left the air.
Strong characters, story arcs, implausable (but fun) stories. This is a great, strong, television show, and I think it's probably pushed Picket Fences out from my favorite David Kelley show.

As for "Ally", I'm sure he's given over the reins recently as well, what with "The Practice" and, more so, "Boston Public" taking more and more of his attention.

A Horrorcon, specifically. He turned into a jet, a very unrealistic dragon/dinosaur thing, and a robot. His pilot (Krunk) became both his dragon and robot head.
He was actually really good. Far more posable than most G1 transformers. He had knees! And elbows! As well as shoulders and hips! Compare than to most of the other transformers from that era, who could just about manage shoulders. Lord knows how they walked anywhere.
So, er, yeah. Snapdragon. Personaly favourite. Pity he never got to do much in the comic. Apart from shoot up Highbrow. Which was good.

Shit, I'm mixing these up with the Predacons now - Slugslinger was a Targetmaster, who else?

1987 Decepticon Targetmasters:
Cyclonus w/ Nightstick
Scourge w/ Fracas
Misfire w/ Aimless
Slugslinger w/ Caliburst
Triggerhappy w/ Blowpipe
The first two were modified versions of 1986 toys (movie characters, specifically). The other three were all jets of some kind. And, amazingly, all had names that related to shooting stuff. What a coincidence, eh?
1987 Decepticon Headmasters (excluding the Horrorcons):
Scorponok w/ Lord Zarak
Mindwipe w /Vorath
Skullcruncher w/ Grax
Weirdwolf w/ Monzo
All 4 were animals. Scorponok was Decepticon leader for a while. Which is less impressive than it sounds, since, in the comics, pretty much everyone was Decepticon leader at one point. However, Scorponok managed to be Decepticon leader for several issues, a feat only managed by a few others. Say, about 10.

.Anyway, the Highbrow story made no distinction between whether or not Snapdragon and Apeface were Targetmasters or Headmasters - I distinctly remember Highbrow just saying that they were Horrorcons, which could have meant Barney-The-Battle-Station and Cyber-Furbies for all I knew back then.
What happened after Highbrow took his head, BTW?

After he took his head, we had Time Wars. Which was Galvatron and Megatron vs, well, everyone. Lots of people died. Decepticons beat up Highbrow, who stupidly hadn't destroyed the head (probably because squishing Zarak would have been a bit "evil"). 'Cons ave Scorpy his head back. Scorpy went to kill Highbrow. Scorpy and other 'cons were mass-displaced when the future 'Cons, lead by Soundwave, came back in time. Zanyiness ensued.

David E. Kelly's new show where students at a high school have the ability to remove their heads and have them become little avatars of destruction?
Snapdragon:So, you going doing anything tonight? Cos I was thinking, we could you know, maybe study together...
Wierdwolf:Going I was to the ballgame with Hardhead. Along come if you like.
Snapdragon:Eh, no it's cool I was just wondering...you know
Ms. Skorponok:Mr. Snapdragon, shouldn't you be some where now? Like Geography?
Snapdragon:See you later, yeah?
Wierdwolf:See you later, I shall.
Ms. Skorponok:Huh-hum!
*Snapdragon transforms into jet and heads off down the corridor to Mr. Mindwipe's Geography class.*
Ms. Skorponok:Don't worry, honey - just let him know that you and Hardhead are just friends.
Wierdwolf:Emm, Ms. Skorponok, can I ask you something?

But where is Weirdwolf going? Do I have to wait until next week to find out what's happened to the pupils at Decepticon School for Masters (PUN!)? Will there be a spin-off series? Do I have to print the corrospnding Autobot nMasters? Can I use any more questionmarks? Find out next, on Dragon Ba..er...some pun based on 90210 that I can't think of right now.

1987 Autobot Targetmasters:
Hot Rod w/ Firebolt (called something else in the Headmasters comic. Silly monkeys)
Kup w/ Recoil
Blurr w/ Haywire
Crosshairs w/ Pinpointer
Pointblank w/ Peacemaker
Sureshot w/ Spoilsport
The Powermaster idea is that the little Nebulan men turned into engines, rather than heads or guns. This would allowe the TF to transform. And, in comic terms, it would make it faster and other blah.
1988 Powermasters (ooh, chanelling Darkstar for a minute there)
Autobots:
Getaway w/ Rev
Joyride w/ Hotwise
Splashdown w/ Lube
Optimus Prime w/ HiQ
This would be the most familiar version of Optimus Prime to Marvel comics readers. He was Powermaster for the majority of the time (when he wasn't dead, anyway).
He had shit-loads of guns on him. Peace my arse.
Decepticons:
Darkwing w/ Throttle
Dreadwind w/ Hi-Test
They combined into a big jet called Dreadwing. Dreadwind also ran the letters page of the UK comic for ages. And he was really good at it too, giving nicely sarcastic replies to all the kids who wrote in claiming they were Unicron. "Hmm, so the Demi-God Unicron, the Chaos Bringer, lives in Leeds? Can't see it myself."
He also carries on the fine tradition, started with Windbreaker, or Transformers having very funny names.

And the Japanese Car Robot line is great. And it's getting released in the US this year. One of the line-up is a repainted Fortress Maximus, called Brave Maximus. Don't know if it will come over, but if you're keen, many internet shops sell Brave Maximus for prices far less than what Fortress Maximus now goes for. And the toy will be new, too.
