I do think some myself included raised an eyebrow about Galvatron as a Headmaster (notice how hardly anyone ever calls them Titanmasters very often)
as He has show an explicit dislike for them in more than one source.
The thing that people don't seem to have jumped on yet - which also puzzles me - if the heads themselves - look like the character in some cases rather than the Nebulons of yor.
So If Galvatron's head looks like Megatron - what on earth am I supposed to make of that when Optimus' looks like Hi Q. Perhaps if Optimus had the ability to store a folded head in his chest cover or hsi head looked more like Rollar - I might be more enthused or perhaps they can sell a Roller set with a mini-vehicle suitable for use with Optimus and a head that looks like Roller.
But the whole character with heads that look like themselves thing is a tad confusing to me I will admit.

As for Squeezeplay and co - I can see 3rd parties doing something to address the missing Bodies - perhaps making a whole figure of those characters - but with the same type of head connection Hasbro use so you can mix and match if you wanted too.
I wonder if it's feasible to invent a joint that is reversible that can take G1 Headmaster Nebulons as well as the new kind of TitanMasters too ?
