    Where did that one originate? Never recall hearing that rumor.

    Skids looks absolutely dreadful. What is going on with that sculpt? The car is so... wonky.

    Skids looks weird and besides I prefer his IDW figure/design (might have to fet that figure if I even want a figure of Skids will at least get thrilling 30 crosscut) and I like Bulkhead better than I thought I would. I can see a BH Prime retool happening now (based on what we’re heard) I think I’m in on these Prime updates like Knockout and Arcee.
    Wouldn’t mind a upgrade kit that can maybe give him his animated backpack (the things that go over his head) as a Animated kid.

    He was always a boxy car like that. It’s the robot torso and arms that are throwing it off for me.

    I dig them both to be honest. I like that boxy G1 look and I think it works well for Bulkhead. Will definitely preorder both of them.

    this guy seems like an excellent homage like gen selects hot shot was, and I think that's the best way to think about these prime figures. there will be proper updates eventually, but until then we have the characters in some form

    Well, Skids looks very good in a faithful G1 way. I love how when Bulkhead is in robot mode, there is no way to tell what he transforms into.

    The original rumor was bulkhead sharing a mold with a prime and the only primes we're getting that we know about are laser prime and shine prime

    I get it now; since Hasbro is planning to remove plastic from boxes, they’ve begun making the figures themselves into boxes.

    The fact that Bulkhead’s entire torso appears to be molded in translucent plastic is just hilarious to me. It’s like Hasbro is just trolling the people who’ve been complaining about it for the past few years.

    I love how 11 years later, we still haven't learned our lesson about trying to type "TFP' with a colon in it on TFW without realizing we get a sticky tongue emoticon corrupting it.

    I just realized the issue with Bulkhead for me, his legs are too long. That\'s it, otherwise he\'s good, the legs look wrong because he\'s always been short legged and squaty. Now he looks like a lean running back and not a thick linemen.

    Oh they definitely are, that thing clearly combines to becomes an axe. I did notice that these two figure come with more weaponry than the WfC figures did. Both have three accessories each with one being an energon weapon/attachment.
