That's pretty much why it's called "Transformers Animated", not just for the art style but also because of how the characters move and the gimmick of the toy line was things like Voyager class Optimus' automorph with the spinning waist and all the leader class toys having a feature where by pressing a button on the chest it causes the figure's mouth to open and close whilst also playing a voice clip, this was the version where the everything was more, well, animated. Also, the anime aspects was just the big thing about Wyatt's particular style, it combines traits from both anime and western cartoons.

"Last surviving man from his squad on a mission Bulkhead"? Inspiration has struck! "Few have seen him since the start of this war. Occasionally he's seen trudging through the wastes of a tattered warzone, emotionless, like his spark went out and hate for the Decepticons is what powers his body, with nothing to his name but a yellow chunk of metal with an Autobot badge haphazardly stapled to his chest, the last piece of a fallen comrade. His best friend. He never asked for this. He graduated university when everyone questioned his intelligence to become a space bridge technician, and now he's here fighting a war that should've ended. Prime and Megatron? They've been dead for years at this point, it should've ended there. But he keeps going, knowing when it's over, he will return to that humble energon farm he grew up on, and get his well deserved rest." That got heavy. Anyway yeah this figure is awesome.

As far as I'm concerned, this is the Sunbow version of Bulkhead (who yes, I know doesn't exist but let me have my headcanons okay), a clumsy but well-intentioned demolitions expert and space bridge engineer trained by Grapple and Hoist. Just picture Animated Bulkhead, but with some added elements to tie him back into that universe. Also, theory time: this was GOING to be a Legacy version of Animated Bulkhead, but someone on the design team feared they'd upset the Animated fans by deviating from that show's aesthetic (which IMO, not a problem; remember RTS Lugnut and how good he was despite not looking like his Animated version?), so they tried to turn it into a "Prime" Bulkhead with mixed results. Definitely picking this big lug up. Now if only Hasbro could do a Lugnut in this style sometime in the future...

So 2 stories about my legacy Bulkhead : I bought it at a target outside my town and whenever I unboxed it in my car, one of the wheels fell off and it was lost in the seats for over a week. Eventually the wheel was found and bulkhead was whole again. So those who want to buy this id be aware of the wheels popping off. I was going for a bike ride to a friends house and bulkhead was in my hoodie pocket. Whenever I was going down my driveway at max speed, bulkhead flew out my pocket and tumbling on the road. The shield came off and he un transformed. To my surprise bulkhead had, I kid you not, ZERO scratches on ANYTHING. The shield is perfectly fine and nothing broke off, not even a wheel.

I think the fist-mace is supposed to act more like a boxing glove. Less for hurting the other guy, and more for protecting the hand, specifically the joints. Also historically flails/balls on chains (or any weapon on a chain) is just generally not a good weapon due to the ability for them to just bounce back once they hit their intended target(if they do) and hit the weilder (something that happened to animated Bulkhead fairly frequently if I recall correctly).

Got this guy in yesterday. Perspective you are right on the money with this guy. A super fun figure with a alt mode that we never get to see. I am a WWII buff and even have my minor in History with focus on WWII. I have never owned a Duec n' ahalf before and though this may be a 5tonner it still fits the basic premis of that old logistics vehicle. We never get logistics vehicles they are always tanks and jeeps and big barreles that go boom. This guy is cool as hell and I really love that in his alternate mode you can use his truck bed as storage. Also, the leg panels can store stuff while in vehicle mode. My favorite part of this vehicle mode is that the tailgate swings down and becomes a ramp. Man they thought about everything with this guy. He now sits with Blaster and Cyclonis and Rodimus as one of my favorite Transformers I own. Keep an ear to the ground for the video I make on this guy. Maybe next week depending on if I can finish up Brunt pretty quickly. be well mate and I always enjoy your videos! :)

The concept of a blunt weapon in a world of metal beings is kinda silly but is actually a very destructive tool if you look back in medieval times. The best weapon agaisnt a knight is a blunt weapon cuz it sends shockwaves and concussive energy across a wider area, especially when aiming for the head and other weak points. so imagine the heavy Goliath that bulkhead is swinging a mace with his full weight behind it straight onto an enemy, such a thing will not only smash the metal flesh in on itself but can generate enough energy to cripple whatever technical organs are inside it, like a full body concussion. On top of that bulkhead’s mace has stumps and dull spikes to allow a guaranteed break in armor with his full force right behind it to further push into that crack.

The second you mentioned Bulkhead in Animated, I instantly thought of the new Wreckers set that was listed on Amazon, and now I’m pretty sure what that set’s Bulkhead is gonna be. I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be this repainted into Animated colors(darker green, green jaw, new tampos, etc.). I don’t know for sure, but it’s my best guess since it’s the only other alternative Bulkhead design. We know Topspin and Twin Twist are using the Diaclone colors(and probably Springer if he had a Diaclone toy, I can’t remember), we saw Leadfoot in the Wreckers comic, and I don’t know what the Impactor is gonna be(hopefully a single packed version of the Battle Pack one), but Animated was really the only other version of Bulkhead that really existed.

By far the best review I've seen of this figure. I knew there was a way to give this guy an ab crunch, it's so good to see a reviewer actually experimenting with the joints on his toys! I too am all for misusing transformation joints if it means giving some extra articulation to your figures. Also, really liked the idea of turning Bulkead into a matador or turning his wrecking ball into a sort of Cybertronian Chromatic Orb spell, I'll definiteyl give those a try once my copy arrives. Personally I'm also glad this new Bulky has some more substancial legs. Him having suc diminutive drumsticks worked well with TFA's more cartoony aesthetics, but the more realistic textures of Prime made had turned them into awkward, cumbersome dwellers of the Uncanny Valley. Speaking of TFA, I was always pretty puzzled by the show's name. Maybe they really wanted to stress the show being mostly hand drawn as opposed to the CG bots of Energon and Cybertron, but there had to be a better phrase to convey that idea. That being said, it's still a better title than friggin' Earthspark. I can't stand that ugly clutter of consonants right in the middle of it, and I'm convinced the person that had come up with it only ever typed it down and never bothered to check how it sounds spoken out loud. Maybe it's just a me problem, but personally I can't for the life of me pronounce "earthspark" without sounding like I'm doing a bad impression of TFA Prowl faking static.

When it was revealed that the nest Transformers toyline would involve TF:Prime, I was excited. And when Bulkhead was revealed, I love it. And I remember how fans were complaining about him. How he wasn't accurate to the Prime tv show, how he shouldn't have been G1ified, blah blah blah. But for me, I didn't care. As he just looks awesome. Legacy Bulkhead looks like he has been hitting the gym and did not skip leg day. Working out hard to prepare for his next big role in the Transformers franchise. His robot mode is great. His wrecking ball and minigun weapons, with his shield, are cool. And his military vehicle mode definitely fits him as a Wreckers. -Looking forward to the rest of the Prime Universe cast coming to Legacy, like his Wrecker teammate Wheeljack for example.

The reason why animated got the title it got in my opinion based on something linger in my head, casual audiences or corporate people's spite/perspective towards animation. When the 07 movie released, the casual's perspective towards it it's like this is the first time they heard the Transformers name or for them it feels like the Transformers brand has better recognition because there's now a "REAL" version of it. Which lead to the Animated show got it's name because it probably got the attention of the kids at the time who barely or never heard of the Transformers name before the "REAL" movie released. Just a thought.

No no no, the rumor wasn’t that he’s a retool of ER Optimus, it’s that he’s a pretool of a Prime Universe Beast Hunter Optimus. Given the shape of bulkhead’s proportions, the fact he comes with a machine gun, and you can replace the tarp shield with a foldable jetpack, and it looks like that might be true. Also, do you know how many figures have minicon ports but no minicon gimmicks? A handful of Cybertron toys, Generations Armada Starscream, Combiner Wars Megatron. Those are minicon ports, minicons fit on them.
