    ah, thanks. to fix that, do you just move the toes or did you try rotating the thighs or knees so theyre like duck feet? might look awkward but it helps sometimes

    All of those things can help. However, I'm probably going to shave some amount of plastic from mine, depends on if I'm going to end up selling him, so that the toes can do more to support him.

    So, am I right in assuming his jaw is that green plastic and the silver is just paint? (I wanna make him more like Animated BH...)

    Really? Let's be realistic. Do we have any Legion and Commander molds of the same character? If the Deluxe Arcee/Voyager Bulkhead scale is bad, how funky would Commander Arcee/Commander Bulkhead be? I don't see it happening.

    You= blind :rolleyes: 

    These toys are pretty damn incredible. You are of course entitled to your (wrong) opinion, but the engineering, look/feel of these toys are anything but "craptacular".

    I am being realsitic here. There is in fact a legion class Arcee coming out next year for your information. The thing is that a Commander class Arcee will scale much better with the Voyager Bulkhead than just being a Deluxe. It may not be 100% perfect but at least it'll be closer to how she scales with him in the show and as well as scaling better with the Deluxes Bumblebee and Cliffjumper.

    I know there's a Legion Arcee coming out. That fact actually indicates that we will not see a Commander Arcee, which is why I said "Do we have any Legion and Commander molds of the same character".

    I agree that a Cyberverse Commander sized Arcee would fit in better with the Deluxe and Voyager Prime figures. But that doesn't mean that Hasbro will make one. Cyberverse figures aren't designed to scale with Deluxes and Voyagers, they're made to scale with each other. A Commander Arcee would not fit in with any other figures in the Cyberverse line, would she?

    I'm just basing this on history. Cyberverse is it's own little "world", and there's no place for a giant Arcee in it.

    But that doesn't mean we won't have one ever. I mean for all we know it may not come out until much later in the line. If Hasbro's really keen in reaching out for more female buyers they should do the smart and sensible thing and make different molds and figures for her as they can either way. She's one of the most popular characters in the show and to not capitialize on it is crazy!

    Well of course it'll scale a lot better that's the point. But that doesn't mean Hasbro won't make one either. We both don't know if there will be one or not. So the best way to find out is to wait for next years New York Toy Fair and Botcon to see which statement is true.

    I understand you're basing your thoughts on history and that's smart. And as for Arcee not fitting in the cyberverse,what about Cyberverse Blackout? He scales in the same size with the other Commander class figures like Optimus,Ironhide,Megatron Sentinal,etc,and yet in the films he's WAY more larger and massive than any of them! Wouldn't that make the other figures scaled next to him giant as well? If they can get away with that then I don't see why Arcee has to be an exception.

    Pretty sure he meant scale in that line as in "bigger characters get to be commanders, smaller ones get to be legion".

    Which makes sense, as Sentinel, Optimus, Ironhide, Megatron, Blackout, etc. are large characters in the movies. Which means even though some of their Cyberverse toys are out of scale with eachother, they're in scale with the whole cyberverse line.

    Is there really a rule for that? I'm just asking because I didn't hear of it.

    But Blackout is still more larger in the film than the rest of the characters you've mentioned. I mean Arcee should at least get a mold that's in scale with the other figures. That was why I suggested a Commander class version because it'll help her scale with figures like the Deluxe Bumblebee and Voyager Bulkhead a lot better. Maybe it may not happen but how do we know Hasbro won't suprise us with something at least like that next year?

    Peaugh, do you have Fansproject Warbot Defender & Universe Hardhead (or another of the Ultra Onslaught mold)? Could I see Bulk with them, please? And is the silver jaw painted over that green plastic?

    Got mine yesterday. A bit underwhelmed, but I can't explain why. Maybe I just don't care for the character enough yet... Transformation is cool enough though. Looks like a neo-Hound to me, at least in alt mode.

    Toy is fucking amazing, but I also find myself not enthralled with it. Maybe it is because of how bland Bulkhead as a character is or maybe I expected too much from all the raving reviews but he's not my favourite. But damn if that transformation isn't incredible. Think I'll just treat his character like Animated Bulkhead. Then I'll like him more.

    Loving mine to bits. Had a mishap with the first one I bought, as it had two left shoulders, so I couldn't transform him in alt mode. Luckily there was one left at TRU.

    Damn is he ever shortpacked! I think there is only one per case, and a sea of Voyager Primes warming the shelves.
