The japanese pretender premise make so much more sense. It almost feels like a full evolution of transformers. Using Mass shifting and Bio-techology to literally become robots in disguise.

Oddly enough, the first time I saw Metalhawk was the original toy. I came from a military family and grew up on a Navy base. My neighbor and good friend was born on Atsugi Naval Air Base in Japan, so his family had alot of Japanese swag when they transferred back to the States. When we first met, we bonded over the differences in our respective stashes of action figures.

Extremely obscure fun fact: There's an old issue of the Marvel UK TF comic where a young reader from Malaysia who was watching the English dub of Masterforce mails in to ask about Metalhawk and why the show's Pretenders are different from the comics, a question that letter answerer Dreadwind wrote off, not knowing what he was referring to. That has to be the first time a piece of Western TF fiction ever referenced a Japanese one, albeit inadvertently.

For some reason, the Japanese side of Transformers has the cooler way of portraying the concepts of the Pretenders, Headmasters, etc. I respect those who enjoy the western concepts, but the Japanese version is less complicated (smaller robot controlling a mecha body, shape-shifting) and are more practical (not needing to worry about the pretender shell being injured and causing a mental link injury)

That's because it takes place post movie, and after all the stuff in headmasters. When masterforcs takes place galvatron is stuck in a glacier, and the main autobots aren't really on earth anymore because they're fighting out in space where that battle is getting worse. (For reference, masterforce takes place about 10 years after the headmasters and the end of s3 of the original cartoon)

That I picked up in a comicbook store in Aberdeen. From that I discovered Metal Hawk and made up my mind I wanted one in my collection. Then a few years later I had the chance to bid on one of the Japanese G1 figures. I went in and dashed at the last minute, it slipped through my figures. So the years pass by and with news of a Legacy Metal Hawk being released. I knew this was the time and know have the figure displayed along side my other Japanese influence Generations Transformers. Makes a good pairing with the Haslab Victory Saber.

Metalhawk, Cyclonus’ cousin! Also like other people, I don’t know why, I just have a feeling the masterforce/Japanese version of the story behind his toy better. Same for headmasters. I also feel the cyberverse version could have done much more and so could the Animated version, but, Wyatt’s gone. But of course I like it when pretenders are not mentioned in my opinion like his western debut. However instead of a retool his titans return was just a straight up redeco…. And when I bought the vector prime potp I threw away the card (lol) so I had to discover myself that it eerily resembled metalhawk’s original pretender shell. The fact that it could also turn into a blaster was also discovered by me, myself.

Mine was the IDW series. I didn’t know about his Japanese exclusive figure. Dang it. I try to get all unique figures around the world. Don’t know how I missed this one. :(

I actually just got this guy a month or 2 ago because I was so unfamiliar with him, so thanks for the history vid on him!

I first saw him in the extra section on the first season DVD. It wasn't until later that I actually found out more about him.

Anyone want the next comic publisher to do a miniseries about Metalhawk and his love for humanity?

Animated no joke wanted to have the largest cast in the franchise's history. There's sketches of every single transformers ever made. Even the nichest of niche characters.

Does Metalhawk kinda count as an Aerialbot (if you go by his Animated profile 3:13/3:14)?

I found out about Metalhawk from the Legacy Evoltuion Voyager Class figure. I picked him up at Target a week ago because I thought he looked cool. So it's nice to get an info dump on the character.

The Transformers anime did have an English dub and was broadcast on Star TV. Power Master series wasn't too terrible. For some strange reason used the Victory opening.

Unfortunately that's the Omni productions dub. The voice lines recorded are a complete joke

I first encountered Metalhawk in the IDW comics. I really didn't like him much, though I did feel sorry for him when Scream blew him away. "That's the thing about opportunists ... never show us opportunities." *blam*

The Titans Return Metalhawk toy had a missed opportunity to name the Titanmaster partner Hawk, after his Human disguise form.

Metalhawk has been a favorite of mine for a while, not totally sure why, especially for a character we didn't get in the states for years. The Masterforce story of the Pretenders shrinking down and all is brilliant and really makes for a better story.

This episode of the basics makes me want to pick up the legacy figure. Even though, I’m not so sure about the cyclonus mold.

In my school, vr game metalhawk made an appearance as a human, and the biggest moment is after the djd/Goalius boss fight (if your Goalius you fight the djd, but if your nickel you fight Goalius) where he gave apexa a new bionic arm after tesarus ripped it to shreeds but was killed by shattered glass singularity torch talon now known as empress death talon
