Simon Furman, the creator of Death's Head, speaking in 2011 about the character retrospectively:

So, having gone to so much effort initially, it felt that Death's Head was always destined to outgrow his origins and thrive in his own right. But it took a while. And it was only the advent of Marvel's US format line that provided the opening we needed to showcase Death's Head. So, very quickly, we shuffled him out of Transformers, via Doctor Who (and a size/scale change), into Dragon's Claws and finally into his own title and original graphic novel, The Body in Question.

...

There were plans for a new series featuring the original Death's Head during Paul Neary's reign as editor in chief at Marvel UK. In fact, we may even have started in on script and art (Geoff was back!). Sadly, nothing remains of either story or that art. And before we got very far along Paul canned that series and launched Death's Head II instead.

For the Death's Head series, Bryan just seemed the obvious choice. Geoff was busy on Dragon's Claws and had already handled his Doctor Who and Dragon’s Claws guest appearances, so we looked to Bryan (who had already drawn the High Noon, Tex strip) to step in.https://www.starburstmagazine.com/features/simon-furman-interview-deaths-head
