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.

Yes yes yessss...that's them. Couldn't think of Triggerhappy and Misfire's names - didn't know Scourge and Cyclonus was made into Targetmasters though. Hmm.
Knew the Dec Headmasters from the Annual with UM and Galvatron on the cover ('89).
No, not our "I GOT TEH 7EVEN_11 L33T HANDSEXXOR" UM, silly!

Ah, you missed the '88 annual (the one with Scorponok on the cover). Best one easily. Two of the stories lead into Time Wars, with Highbrow ripping off Scorponok's head (let's see that in Spider-Man), and with "Altered Image". Galvatron vs Megatron. Classic.
Hot Rod, Kup, and Blurr were also made into Targetmasters. If you've got a TM Hot Rod, he's worth a packet.

Eh, actually I didn't. The Annual I meant must have been the '87 one. I have the Scorponok-covered one - quite good, the last story set WAY in the future disturbed me when I was but a lad .
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?

Maybe that is the answer. "Highbrow" took his head, and foam came out his nose. Maybe...

"Drift" is an offensive word for you, Nimmy? Weird.
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.

Ahah, didn't know it was TF-related, all that talk about apehead and such made it sound a bit strange. Not that I've delved into that cup of tea yet.

I == amused *L* What the hell did you think I was on about?
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?
*Cut to Wierdwolf getting a lift off the island in Astrotrain*
Wierdwolf:I hope I'm not too late!

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.
