So I watched the first episode of Headmasters on Anime Central last night. Oh my god what a bizzare 30 mins of TV that was.
I've never watched any of the dubbed shows before and it was terrible. There was no attempt to have any characters as they all had generic voices. It was also pretty hard to work out exactly what was going on most of the time. They also appeared to show the title sequence for Transformers Victory beforehand.
My favourite bit though did have to be Mindwipe attacking with his magic and cue the stereotypical native american chanting while he is doing it. Classic!

That dub is devastatingly bad, translation, voice work, you name it they messed it up all three people or however few it was. My advice would be to maybe watch a few eps and if you think it would be better if it made even a little bit more sense buy the DVDs and watch it in Japanese, it's still a little more Japanese than most TF fans prefer but at least the series makes sense and is quite watchable.
Beware, the dub gets far worse believe it or not.

I havent watched it on Anime Central yet but I have the DVD and found it hard work. It's not a terribly good show but does have some strand out moments. Stick with it phantomfish if only to see Hardhead sing!

I've watched the sub on the DVD and prefer it to the sub, just one episode of the dub made me decide sub all the way, hope that helps?

The dub is definitely getting worse after watching the last few. There is just no life given to the voices. My favourite moment being last night when Optimus Prime left the battle with the classic line "You take over Rodimus Prime I've got something else to do!"

The dub is pretty terrible, apparently there has beena new dub for the takara boxset but I doubt it's a redone improved version..
The terrible dubs adn the poor trasnlation adn crap voice acting really doesent help...
it's not a bad show but unless you are going to watch it in japanese with the subtitles it's not going to be as good as it could be...

It has had some good moments though so far. The Billy (Blaster) and Soundwave battle to the death was quite well done. Although their subsequent rebirth was a bit overdone. I mean Blaster bursts into Decepticon HQ and defeats New Soundwave with noboy really attempting to stop him.
The death of Optimus Prime was so poorly acted it was unbelieveable. There was no acting or emotion put into the characters during a tragic scene.
