The Ark Addendum - Weirdwolf's Transform
And, we're back! This week's Ark Addendum bounces back to the Headmasters! Yup, it's another extended transformation sequence: Weirdwolf!
As an aside, I really liked how all of the smaller Headmasters from 1987 had head-based names. Brainstorm, Chormedome, Hardhead, Highbrow, Mindwipe, Skullcruncher... very clever. And then there's this guy. I'm betting he originally had a name like Snapjaw or something, and it failed to clear, making him the odd man out. Shame, though. I guess it was hard to keep up, because by 1988 only one of the six new Headmasters had a 'head' name.
The style of this looks very different, less dynamic, then the other Headmaster's Transform sequences. For that matter the drawings seem more detail oriented. Was this made for a commercial I wonder?

Speaking of details, weird how they appear out of nowhere while he transforms and when he's done transforming -POOF! Additional details vanish.
