    ...What? The arm swivel below the elbow adds pretty much nothing to the dynamic articulation of the character unless he's holding a gun. Aside from that he has every bit of articulation as the FE figure by the looks of it. No more, no less articulated. :sly2:

    This looks fine to me. I don't really care about total show accuracy as long as it's a decent representation of the character. All I want to know is if the Autobot emblem is molded on or just painted? I'll probably end up removing it if it's just paint.

    thats why i said Slightly
    and for many, a arm or hand swivel matters
    still waiting to see if there is a mod for the chest
    still getting it on sight

    Completely agree with ya. im in the uk so we didnt get any first editions for retail only RID. the weapon does blow but i think the fact that he has a breakdown hammer knock off is cool because who knows what crapy powerizer weapon we get for breakdon.

    Also, what the hell is the other weapon? A missile pod? A meat hammer?

    If I remember correctly, the box says it's some kind of battering ram.

    You know, picking a favorite between the FE and the RID version is fine, but everybody saying that the RID version is total garbage and doesn't look like Bulkhead is full of crap. Okay, maybe it is off model a little from the animation model. That's true of pretty much every TF Prime toy though and many of the toys in other TF lines as well. I sincerely doubt the FE version is perfectly on-model either.

    The main fault I find with it is the big damn unfolding weapon thing with the mace that's supposed to just go on the end of his arm where his hand is. Complain about the inaccuracy to the show of that caused by slavish adherence to the designated line gimmick.

    Yep. Everybody's so forgiving of Ratchet's chest-doors cheat, but that's really no better than all these fake wheels. "But it's the only way to do it!" It's the only way to do it given that character design, yes. Don't make the character design something that can't be a toy, then. After the glorious and improbable show/toy accuracy of TF Animated, the Has-Tak designs have no excuse for this. We know they can do it right.

    Animated wasn't beyond cheating either, plenty of figures do it. They just made it blend better (for example, if they are going to cheat on Bulkhead's fake wheels, at least paint them black! The real ones are just on the other side of the leg after all too!)

    While I am the first person to say that the Animated line is without a doubt the best toyline in the history of Transformers, I'm gonna have to call you out on that one and say you're incorrect.

    Sentinel Prime cheats really badly with his chest and even Bumblebee and Wreck-Gar cheats with their chest. I think all four (Ratchet included) are forgivable though. Fake wheels, however, irk me.

    Sorry if it's been asked, but can Bulkhead's forearms rotate forward so he doesn't get the "weight-lifting-arms?" It looks like that clear plastic joint in his forearm can rotate but it also looks like the armor on the side of his arm constricts it...

    Bumblebee actually doesn't cheat. He literally transforms the same way as the deluxe with the "fake chest" in the show.

    I don't know how Wreck-Gar would cheat. His chest is the actual grill.

    Sentinel does, and so does Swindle, though.

    So, I walked in to Target and found an entire shelf full of Transformers Prime Voyager Bulkhead toys. You know, like you do. So I bought all 10 of them for $20 each. I practiced painting some Voyager Bulkhead figures (someday I won't suck :)  ). I threw one or two Voyager Bulkheads to my dog. I tried putting super glue on the joints of a few Voyager Bulkheads since I've heard people do that. Lol! It totally froze the figures! 3 Transformers Prime Voyager Bulkheads totally down the drain! Lol! I think I lost one or two of them in the washing machine...

    What? Why do you all want to kill me? It's just Transformers Prime Voyager Bulkhead...put down that shovel!

    Actually Sentinel doesn't. The front of his truck mode is upside down on his back in the show. Unless you're talking about his giant feet.

    Swindle does, though.

    I don't think he's that bad. Modded the mace and took off the front bumper and Bulk looks better.
    The bumper is stored in his back.
