    I have seen the 4th movie and.....Hound is not the name i would use to call the green army transformer....i would call him Bulkhead couse only Bulkhead is fat and funny and loves to wreck thing.

    I used: prime fe Bulkhead head and a 1/144 gundam hand ball joint. dark green color, and i have my Bulkhead.

    What do you think?

    That head is a bit big, but otherwise it looks pretty good

    I like it. I agree the head is a little out of proportion, but that is just a matter of taste.

    The deluxe BH head would probably do the trick here.

    I am going to buck the trend here and say that actually I think the Bulk-head, (hee hee) is a better size, original looks too small, nice quick fun mod.

    Great work! I always wanted to have a Classic Bulkhead and this could work! Maybe you can use the TFP BH Bulkhead and maybe customize it a bit. I think it would be a perfect fit. Again great job!

    this is what everyones been talking about doing, but I'm honestly not liking it too much. maybe a smaller head would work though.

    i feel like a bulkhead head would fit in the movie on his body due to him being a lot stumpier and fat, while the toys got long arms, long legs, and isn't as fat so the head doesn't translate too well.

    I agree with the head but maybe you could use the powerizer head or the deluxe or if you are doing a TFA Bulkhead vibe i am sure you can mod the old voyager head.

    I do think that this head is too small, like a lot of people have said. The reason why I think the Hound head worked was because it was recessed into his chest slightly, but this Bulkhead one sits on top of his shoulders, making the proportions look Kre-o esque. Is there anything you can do to change that?

    You have a FE Bulkhead and you are just parting it? That thing is like $80! The custom is a great idea, but you should use a cheaper and smaller Bulkhead.

    cool idea
    i think everyone who has seen tf prime recognises this character as bulkhead anyway. all i would do to the head is give the beard a coople dry brushes with steel or silver so the black doesn't stick out to much

    Thanks for your reply.
    I would try the deluxe size. but i think it will be smaller. couse it a robot proportions dont need to be right and Bulkhead dont have them - big head, very big body and short legs.
    I will try too the animated and see what will fit best.

    Thanks
