I too would like to see more "robotic" looking faces (Magnaboss'
is great!). However, I do like the "organic" looking ones too. Some
(like Iguanus') are downright creepy! :)
Also, the detail levels on a lot of the heads are actually *very*
nice.

Ah, but line Manterror, Inferno and Tripredacus up and you've got
one happy group! :)

According to Hasbro, there's a *reason* behind both the "mutant"
and "organic" heads within the context of their "story". Supposedly,
it'll all start to make sense as each new wave appears. My guess is that
the Transformers are evolving into a biological lifeform...

What's wrong with Tripredacus?! He looks sooo *COOL*! Sure he has
teeth...so what? He IS part organic...gives em character. :)

Magnaboss's head doesn't look robotic either. In all honesty, it looks
more like Vincent from "Beauty & the Beast" or maybe a Sasquatch. If you
don't like *teeth* on a Transformer, how do you feel about *hair*?
Magnaboss's head is partly formed from Prowl's mane and gives the
appearance of a full head of hair (Klingon-style!) and a *beard*!
Airazor's head isn't all that robotic either...however Prowl's head is
VERY robotic...and - except for the mouthplate - bears a striking
resemblance to a head belonging to a certain deceased (according to the
film that is) police car...

I always thought he looked a bit like Primal Bat.

looked like Tweety bird's evil twin. Magnaboss's face is more robot
like, with chisled angular parts 'n all. It appears to have been
changed in the production process, because the box art and photos
give him a more human-like face with a nasty sneer that the toy just
doesn't have.
