I've wondered this as well.
According to Bigbadtoystore they'll fit both versions, but I've had ebay sellers tell me otherwise..

I bought them from the BBTS. I really do like them. They make the figure feel more complete. I'll post some pics here very soon. I wouold say go for them cause I think they're worth it for the price. I only paid $18 usd plus whatever the shipping was.

A better question would be- "What the hell is that in Razorclaw's sig?"

I got the heads today and they worthed every cent.They are pretty good.Giving a head to a decapitated bot makes it as it should have been.

So twenty odd years down the line, they will probably need replacing.

If we have an expert artist on here, we could just send them the heads and paint a face on. :lol:

The original G1s had faces, well sort of, stuck on the drivers seat.
The custom heads are plastic and clips over the seat. The heads also closely resembles the cartoon characters. :D

Sure thing,right away old friend.Just keep in mind that in order to transform them you must remove the head and then put it back (although it might not fit perfectly).No big deal but whatever.
