Comic Book Resources has posted an interview with IDW’s John Barber, overall editor of the Transformers books and writer of Robots in Disguise and Spotlight Bumblebee. The interview talks a bit about Spotlight Bumblebee and goes into how the one-shot fits into the wider continuity – it is, effectively, filling in some character development for Bumblebee in his move from warrior to leader. What might interest some of our readers though is one particular question – when asked about characters he would like to make an appearance in the IDW Transformers comics, John Barber responds that he’d love to get Transformers Animated’s Bulkhead into the mix, or some Beast Wars characters. He then goes on to say about how as he has an inside track, we might be seeing a little something sometime. Watch this space!
The interview is topped off with some new reveals of Andrew Griffith’s cover for Robots in Disguise #15 – featuring Arcee – and some of David Daza’s art from Spotlight Bumblebee. Open this link to see the full story.

Wheeljack and Bulkhead make's no damn sense. And even the nicest of bot's were mean to Bulkie. Just look at Optimus. (he was susprised he was a space bridge geinus.)

Personally I've always wanted BB, Bulk and Jackie as a trio.
Escargon
Bulkhead should go to James Roberts, since he'd wright him the best.
But I'm fine with Barber doing it.

Ugh, did you even watch TFA?
Goddamn GEEWUNERS…………
(like that dumbass, Raksha. Friggin hate her. And Matt Moylan. God, what an IDIOT).

Bulkhead is just a Brawn/Ironhide hybrid. Which are both quite alive and more interesting.
If he appears it'll probably be why RID dies.

Idk about you but I prefer these weird little wing pieces
over a 'neat little Jetpack' that takes up about 70%of her back.
I do prefer the milne design for other reasons, but overall it really is just the angle and perpective of the cover that makes it look like she has two massive tumors.
Escargon
Well, Bulkhead, if he appears, is probably after Wheeljack dies.
Sockie
I really have a hard time seeing IDW Wheeljack doing that.
General Tekno
But only in season 2; then Phil LaMarr can take over
Escargon
Wheeljack should never be friends with Bulkhead. He should be like Ironhide and Wasp, calling Bulkhead dumb. Instead, they should make him an old friend of Bumblebee's.

Yeeeeeaaaaaaah about that…
Autovolt 127
Yeah your right. Though I think Kevin would make for a great Soundwave. Something like his Black Manta.
Escargon
BILL FAGGERBAKKE, AUTOVOLT 127.
Let Kevin be the voice of Omega Supreame.
Autovolt 127
Win! Win! Win!
I wonder if they'll make him chums with Wheeljack, makes art, has chair kibble and watching monster truck showdowns and kaiju films.
I'm going to struggle picking between Bill Faggerbakke and Kevin Michael Richardson to read him as. Patrick or Gantu….ah it's so hard to pick.

Engineer Bulkhead bitches!
Seriouly though, lets not let the Prime Defenderus's find this and turn it into a flamewar.
Mechafire
The one that's actually interesting.
lerath666
but which one?
Bulkhead the Wrecker?
or Bulkhead the spacebridge engineer?
Or go for the gusto, and make him both.
Autovolt 127
He wants to put Bulkhead in RID.
What are you waiting for Barber DO EEEEEEET!
