I don’t know about you, but I’m an absolute sucker for anything base on G.I.Joe vs Transformers Crossovers. What’s not to love about two fan favorite properties facing off against one another?
That’s why my jaw always drops to the floor once Hisstank.com Moderator and Master Customizer Phantro shares his custom crossovers with us. This time around, Phantro tackles one of the latter year Transformers releases, HardHead! If you’re not familiar with the Autobot Headmaster Soldier, check out what the TF Wiki has to say –
Hardhead is a soldier to his core. A soldier with a stubborn streak a megamile wide. He’s stubborn to the point of rejecting outright any path but his own, any idea that goes against his natural instinct or inclination (namely fighting), and any advice he didn’t come up with himself. He doesn’t talk much, and when he does, it tends to be blunt and terse, if not outright rude. A soldier doesn’t waste time on social niceties when there’s a war to fight.Perhaps surprisingly, given his limited social aptitude, Hardhead has found a good companion in Duros, his binary-bonded Nebulan partner, who enjoys warfare just as much as Hardhead does. The two mesh so well, it’s been said that theirs may be the best match among all the Autobot-Nebulan teams.
The latest incarnation of Hardhead finds him taking on a new role as the Scorpion Tank for the G.I.Joe team. You’ll want to join us after the break to read Phantro’s take on his latest creation and to see more images of this amazing custom!

Hello Tanker family. This was a commission for a buddy of mine who absolutely loves G1. I did not own the original toy as a kid (or any headmasters for that matter) but I could not help having a soft spot for this project. The toy has limited articulation but what it lacks in modern playability it makes up for in personality and nostalgia.
I had such a great time customizing it that I decided to add it to my running Cobra La story. Thank you so much for viewing.

We need another company to produce Joes and have Phantro lead the creative team. Imagine...

Very nice. It looks like something in between a Cobra Paralyser and a G.I.Joe Armadillo.
