Coming off the heels of joining the Toxic Crusaders as a former henchman of Dr. Killemoff is Headbanger! But what sets his modern in-game design from his crazy-looking original action figure? Let’s take a look!
Headbanger’s action figure from the early 90’s was certainly a sight for sore eyes–or perhaps…it helped CAUSE sore eyes?? Either way, we can clearly see how Dr. Bender and surf boy Fender were conjoined together into one “hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength!
Taking Dr. Bender’s brains and Fender’s brawn, the action figure showed off the former’s scientific lab look–with an orange bowtie and some writing utensils to boot–along with the latter’s laid back, casual appearance–not to mention the sporting of his muscular physique!
As for Headbanger’s in-game design…
By comparison, we can clearly see the extreme lack of ORANGE–with green splotches of goo (Magoop?) on the shirt and Dr. Bender’s pants for the sprite design, while being more prolific in the comic cutscene design. A chain also runs diagonally along where the two former individuals are now joined as one!
To draw Headbanger’s in-game appearance even closer to the original cartoon, we can see that Dr. Fender loses those orange glasses that were present on the action figure–which is fine, since he won’t need them to take on Dr. Killemoff’s Radiation Rangers anyway!
No matter the foe, you can always count on Headbanger to with the smartest and most laid back plan ever!
