    I would have bought and swapped the RID head with Brawns. POW FE Bulkhead to some degree.
    I disagree with those who say the Prime figures don't work with classics. I prefer Prime Wheeljack, Ratchet and GDO Cliffjumper to the classics versions. T

    That actually works. I mean, I wouldn't want it to happen, since a character like that needs a beast mode in my mind, but that looks better than Brawn does.

    Nice head sculpt... but suuuuuch a bad choice for a base figure.

    Really... Hoist/Trailbreaker would've worked much better.

    Using Bulkhead's mold is kind of like a wrong choice IMO

    I don't get all these complaints about "pin head", the toy has the same size head as the original version of the mold. Some people just complain for the sake of complaining.

    I think the fact that it's a G1 head doesn't help. At least with Bulk's...Head, the character deisgn helps make the proportions work.

    The G1 styled Brawn head looks tiny and out of place.

    Bulkhead's body has always had those proportions. The head is the SAME SIZE. This head is the same as the original. I see no difference. Anyone complaining is just making things up to complain about. If you don't like the toy don't buy it, but don't make things up.

    I don't see anything better or worse than the original. Bulkhead always had those proportions.

    Because....? I see a lot of opinion, which is fine, but I don't hear a reason for that opinion. Not having that opinion, I'm trying to figure out the reason other people seem to have it.

    OGM - They took a round figure with a tiny head we love and made it into a round figure with a tiny head we don't love! What are they thinking!?!?!?

    Well I gave you a fairly reasonable one, but it seems like you either didn't really read it, or misunderstood what I meant.

    So lets try this:

    Bulkhead looks fine based on his character design.

    G1 Brawn's character design is known for having a big head.

    Making it smaller to fit Bulkhead's body makes it look tiny and out of place, because people are use to Brawn having a big head.

    so,people dont like it because Brawn isn't a midget with a big head instead a Bulky lunk with a smaller one? does anyone find that ironic?

    Brawn is known for having stilt legs and claw hands. He lacks those too....

    A little.

    Most people remember Brawn for his G1 animation model then the actual toy.
