"It's less like they did Bulkhead a favour by giving him a new toy, and more like they did this toy a favour by making it Bulkhead." is probably the best way my feelings for this toy have been described so far.

Thew: **shows G1 style Prime team lineup**

Me: **nostalgia overload**

Thew: **casually swaps Arcee for Prowl to achieve the Animated team lineup**

Me: **wheezing**

"Can we pull our heads out the 80's for one minute"

FUCKING. THANK YOU.

Reckon that shot with Grapple, and Inferno might've tipped me over the edge into getting him...

"Bulkhead... I needed that"

WHY HAS NO ONE DRAWN YOU AS PRIME RATCHET

[Wixhael]

One of my favorite things about this figure is that the alt-mode is pretty much a "modern" version of the Animated Bulkhead version. Like, in Animated, he turned into a military transport vehicle, just one that was made "fifty years in the future". This is just the "real-world" equivalent of that, and I really dig it. Especially since it fits with Bulk's "giant bruiser that can ABSOLUTELY wreck shop but is mostly designed to be helpful anyways" characterization.

"Bulkhead, I needed that" really got some hilarious memories flowing back!

[SwiftpawWolffox]

I was expecting the wrecking ball to be the usual hollow on the bottom to fit over his fist... seeing that it is hinged to make a COMPLETE SPHERE makes this so much better. Giving him an optional shield as an.. sidegrade? Not really an upgrade... goes with him being the big tough guy with a gentle spark, now he can protect his mates too.
He might not be a gun type of guy, but making it a shoulder minigun does work for that ranged option, because he doesn't have to give up the wrecking ball or shield to fire off a few rounds against the guys that decide to stay out of CLOBBERIN TIME range.

Thank you for all the comparison shots with the Seige and Earthrise figures. Bulkhead fits right in.

I love the G1 stuff as much as anyone else, but like, i'm really itching for some totally new bots.

One of the things I'm keen on with Legacy is that, so far, all of the figures are just pretty straight forward, no nonsense, super playable figures. No overly complicated masterpiece style transformations or intrusive gimmicks. Just nice little toys. I've been missing that quite a lot as of recent years.

[wangeroogerque]

What is this, Thew got a figure before Emgo and uploaded a review in time. This is a miracle and I'm so jealous (as always).

As a Prime fan... definitely, booting the show's designs and coming up with "something else" is kind of a punch in the gut from the "legacy" aspect. I can just imagine them re-doing Prime Megatron and making him another tank again, or some more jet-like jet, with a blocky G1-esque bot mode. Trashing all of what made his design badass in the show. I do like Bulkhead though, in that it is a pretty neat bot they did a favor by making Bulkhead.

The spinning weapon-port shoulder wheel is another tick in the “getting Animated Wreck-Gar vibes from this” column

[RogerPyoko]

It feels even more specifically "Bulkhead if he was Diaclone", since "what if Bulkhead was G1" would still have a been a big chonky boy since Floro Dery loved drawing his roly-poly robots.

6:24 as a massive Hound fan, you have no idea how much I appreciated that joke.

[zuttoaragi]

I'm hoping we get some other stuff in Legacy besides just Prime and G1. Animated, Armada, RID(2001), Victory.

Also, I appreciate a G1 styled Bulkhead, might even pick him up, but I'd also like to see redos of the Prime figures with better robot modes and alternate modes. I mean, Airachnid is the ultimate example of a figure that needs a do over.

[SnfGD]

Human from the future here, figure swapping has become a major issue with legacy boxes. Often you'll just find random ass robots in the wrong boxes. Its hilarious 😂

[exillionXLR]

I always imagined there would be custard creams under that tarp. My quest for biscuit filled logisitics continues. ❤️

[DalekTheSupreme]

Honestly, I really like this figure as a new take on Bulkhead. It's got a great headsculpt, the appropriate chunkiness, and a solid alt mode. My only problem is that my Takara First Edition Bulkhead is my perfect Bulkhead and I already have him.
