I definitely want Flamewar

 

I hope for Flamewar as well cause that deco looks so cool and yeah she's expensive.

 

I think this idea is cool but there should be many different combinations and maybe each combined weapon consists of 4. So you dont need to collect every figure.

 

I....I never thought to ask.  

I'm gonna assume earth mode though, as leakers have said she's pretty accurate, and I would think her bike mode counts towards accuracy.

 

It'd be funny if we all guessed wrong and Bulkhead isn't a pre-tool of Optimus, but of Ironhide.  . As it is, even tho' I know they won't do it, that Bulkhead would be a wicked reformatted Huffer.

 

Canonically is bulkhead a toy of his TFP or G1 incarnation?

 

You say this but I wouldn't complain one bit it fits so well as Ironhide also maybe give him his arm cannons and I'll take it.

 

They describe him as “Prime universe Bulkhead”.

 

I think this would be a mold they would milk in the beginning like kingdom pipes, just because of the retool potential.

 

IIRC, this is what we will see tomorrow.

Spoiler: DO NOT CLICK IF YOU DONT WANT TO BE SPOILED

IIRC…



Deluxe:
Skids
Kickback
PRID Arcee
Dragstrip


Voyager:
Blaster with Eject
Bulkhead.

Leader:
LASER OPTIMUS w/trailer ala ER Optimus
Repack of Kingdom Galvatron


I can’t remember who is in the first wave of Core, but I believe it’s got Optimus(repack), and Shockwave along with a third figure.


If SS is shown….

The next wave of deluxes will include Perceptor and characters from the opening scene of Bumblebee(Ironhide/Ratchet, Arcee, Brawn, & Wheeljack.)

SS Core class will be introduced, which will include BB Ravage in it’s first wave.

BB Soundwave and Junkheap are in the next wave of voyagers.

 

It's gonna get repurposed. Too good not too.

 

The FE figures were hard to get since they were toysRus exclusives while TRU was in its death spiral. I was able to get FE Optimus, Arcee, Cliffjumper and Starscream. Never found Bulkhead.

The Kingdom BW figures got me excited to see what new TFP figures would look like....but that Bulkhead blunted any interest I had.

 

I want a repaint of Bulkhead that looks like Violen from Megaman X2. It won't happen, but in my head-cannon this is SG Bulkhead.

 

Wait, really? I mean, I kept my S-Ratchet over ER Ratchet so I can see you wanting S-IH over ER but there was a bit of,"Well if I can't have both ERs..." factoring into that decision.

I def would dig an IH from this BH tho' for sure, especially weaponed out.

 

What do you get out of the defense of this? Like is it a big deal for me to say "Hey this Bulkhead reinterpretation doesn't look very good or accurate at all?" Say what you will about Kingdom figures being "nitpicked to death" they were still going for crazy details and references like Blackarachnia having the same transformation as her MP counterpart or literally turning a weapon into a seperate Deluxe figure release to give to Optimus for accuracy, or Megatron getting his whole arm under the dinosaur tail. Bulkhead comes about and looks nothing like any Bulkhead ever, to the point where I almost thought he was an Inferno retool but even Inferno had better looking parts than Bulkhead being all squares, yet everyone comes out of the woodwork to defend something we should pay money for

"What doesn't work" does not equal "what wasn't intended" that's the reason that part exists, and it still shows a level of detail and commitment to general character look and feel that isn't being put on display for Bulkhead

I don't need it to look 100% Prime accurate, but yet again, there's a certain point where it just looks like they took some random new G1 design that doesn't justify looking anything like the character originally, and slapping his head on it

 

I remember from the leaks now that Legacy Voyager Bulkhead was just going to Bulkhead not Prime Bulkhead and this mold is going to be used for a Optimus Prime. I know some of y'all already know about the Optimus Prime remold. So this Bulkhead is not a Prime Bulkhead so I guess it's a G1 style Bulkhead that my biggest guess.

 

And my patience to December was going so well too. Lol! Can't wait!

The commentary track for that movie is hilarious. You mentioning that reminded me of it.

 

Yeah I know it's weird but I just think Seige Ironhide looks better it's cause I think the chest and the bumper of it screams Ironhide and less smooth and slim that chest is and the ER one just feels more and looks weird for IH to me for some reason (it's the chest window and the bumper that is apart of his body/shoulders that bother me for some reason)

while I would say Ratchet is a character that isn't really a fighter or would fight much and just fits that smoother slimmer chest and less intimidating bumper.

So I do again hope new SS voyager Hide and Ratchet do happen (according to rumors0 or I fin a Seige Ironhide cheaper than $50 lol

 

I find it instresting that the universe were G1 and Beast Wars are in is called Primax, while the Aligned(Prime & RID2015) universe is called Uniend. That's what I found on TFWiki.

 

Probably because "Primax" is a play on "Prime," which itself means "first." I'm not too sure where "Uniend" came from, but if I were to hazard a guess it's a reference to how Hasbro intended for the Aligned continuity to be their one-world storytelling universe, equivalent to the MCU.
