    I actually really like Bulkhead. I think he looks pretty neat.

    Skids, though... I have mixed feelings. I kinda like him more than the T30, but then I don't at the same time. He looks too PotP to me and I liked very little from the line. I guess time will tell on whether I end up getting this guy or not.

    Looking forward to seeing what the rest of wave 1 looks like on Friday.

    I will say, the more I look at him the less bothered I am. I think I'm getting over the initial shock of him not being squat and round, like he is in Animated and Prime, and starting to see it as a 'retconned' G1 design.

    Hasbro is calling him "Prime Bulkhead".

    So in that sense they did fail.

    Should have done Animated Bulkhead with straight lines cause he would have fit in fine.

    I'm surprised at how much hate this new line is already getting. Do new lines always get this negativity at the first reveal? To me, these figures look like the exact same level of quality as WFC. Skids looks really good. Bulkhead is odd, not at all what I was expecting. But I can dig it. Body is definitely G1 style Bulkhead, but the head design sticks out to me. It isn't G1-ified enough

    Isn't deco in the way we use it here just short for decoration?

    This figure needs his over-the-shoulder panels to tie him into the Bulkhead look

    Curious where this leak came from? I've been seeing it in this thread but I don't remember hearing it before now

    No

    I mean then get out? If it doesn't make you happy why are you still around? You're just gonna buy it and no matter how you whine and gnash your teeth I'd you buy it then it doesn't matter.

    Oh my goodness, yes. Not sure how the back will look w/o the canopy, so it might need some extra work to make the ladder work, but please, make this a Selects release

    Seriously, I don't even remember this kind of reaction when Reveal the Shield Lugnut was revealed.

    What changed since then?

    The more I look at the pictures the more I like Bulkhead takes a little getting used to but the more I look at it the more I like it and I'm starting to dig it. Well I've been debating with myself on if I should get Slammer or Skids for my collection and Skids is not inspiring a lot of confidence right now, Slammer still might win this one.

    Skids looks ok, his proportions are pretty bad with the arm positioning and his torso looks weird and hollow but he looks fine from certain angles.

    Bulkhead... I'm not sure how to feel about. I was expecting a cartoon accurate version like everyone else but it's not a bad figure or design, just way more boxy and different than anyone was expecting. I'm definitely getting him, I like it it's just going to take a little getting used to.

    There's a G1 Bulkhead now. You're looking at it in Legacy.

    I have and Skids, again in my opinion only, looks like an advanced version of one. A very basic design that is very hollow, the head on a plate, the gap-filled legs, the simplistic alt mode. It all screams RID Strongarm/McDonald toy to me.

    Again, IMO.

    No, it says "Prime Universe Bulkhead" in the press release.

    Yes, let's engage our brains indeed. Hasbro full-assed this.
