Transformers: Headmasters (fandub)
Holy crap, this is a great dub with some amazing voice work with some fans. Headmasters is a Japanese TF show that continued from the Return of Optimus Prime. The new dub also uses the alt-theme song from the TF movie, which is a nice touch.
The timeline for the show is a bit off though. The TF movie is set in the “futuristic” 2005. The third season was set in 2006. I've heard the Headmasters series is set in 2011. Yet, the wiki says a year after season 3. And, yes, Prime dies again. This makes three times that Optimus has died. I generally see this series as an alt-timeline from the main cartoon line.
There was a small American season 4 that goes in another direction with the Headmasters and simply can't fit in with this version. However, the US series fits in with the Beast Wars series much better.
This dub is great because it feels like an 80s cartoon show.
They even threw in a few GI Joe references to this new dub. Was that the Cold Slither band from GI Joe? Hmm... It is good to know that Cold Slither is still a hit 20 years later.
