Transformers Toys Generations Legacy Voyager Prime Universe Bulkhead Action Figure - Kids Ages 8 and Up, 7-inch

Legacy Bulkhead is an awesome figure, period. The joints on my figure were tight and the figure has some weight to it. There is also a bonus for those who hate parts-formers as the canopy doesn’t have to be removed for transformation. I really hope that this figure is reused in repaints as this figure really is that good, and I would probably own all of such repaints. I just hope that they use different head sculpts for such new character figures.Concerning Bulkhead’s cab/chest, yes, it is largely hollow in robot mode, but it houses his head and both arms and shoulders in vehicle mode. I do have some concern about the long-term durability of the cab/chest due to it being molded out of transparent blue plastic and painted green and black. But what a mold it is! Moreover, the use of transparent plastics are widely used in many of the modern figures.This Bulkhead looks like a character that would have been welcomed into G1 era canon. He just looks like a brawler with a body silhouette reminiscent of the Hulkbuster Iron Man armor from Avengers Age of Ultron. Other concerns are the numerous tabs between the back of the cab and the rear of the truck fit together (regarding ease of transformation) after a many years of wear.Then there is that mace: what an awesome and brilliant weapon gimmick! It actually fits on either hand by turning it the appropriate direction. It’s nice to see a new melee weapon that is not blade based. The minigun does seem small comparatively to the figure; maybe it’s an attempt to emphasize the grandiose size of the character.The transformation is really clever and well engineered. The gas tanks disappearing into the robot’s calves blew me away; it really shows that this figure was designed with aid of computer modeling. It is just so precise. For those who hate the incomplete feel and hollowness of cavities in the arms and legs of modern transformers, this figure only has two small cavities: one in both arms at the lower inside bicep, and one on the inside of each leg above the knee.I really don’t understand the hate that this figure has received. “It looks nothing like Prime Bulkhead.” Or “I’m tired of the obsession with the G1 era.” Look, I get it people have their favorite iteration that they were first exposed to and naturally think is the best. But you have to understand it’s a business and a business decision; the G1 era fans are in an age bracket that have extra disposable income. I prefer G1 simply due to the basis on real vehicles or near approximations, at least until the Rodimus Prime future G1 era. It was fun to think of random vehicles as possible transformers, and much easier to do than with later more animated incarnations.This figure really needs to be appreciated on the basis of what it actually is. Once it’s in hand, if one is a true transformers fan, or a fan of the mechanics of transformation, this figure’s merit cannot be denied.

Bought as a gift but would buy one to have for myself. Nice detail. The transformation can be a little difficult but is made to well. Looks good in both formations.

Great toy! Paint is good, posing is great, it's quite likeable and has a great presence to it. Only downside is the chest doesn't like to lock in all the way and the gas-tanks on the side of the vehicle mode do not like to tab in place but other than that, get this if you're a big Bulkhead fan or if you need some Autobot muscle in your collection!

My son loved it. The size is just enough and matched with the rest of his Transformers.

Love na figure for collection

I never got into the Transformers Prime cartoon. So I can forgive that he doesn’t look much like a Prime universe figure. But I absolutely love this G1 version. Fun to transform. Great looking robot and alt modes. Great possibility and great paint. Nice tight joints. Def one of my faves.

I really like this version of bulkhead. I've never had him in my collection, and now that I do I'm kicking myself for missing out on collecting the first edition transformers prime figures.

i got this as a Christmas gift for a kid younger than 10 years old. he seemed to enjoy it and felt like a solid toy. no quality or other issues with the product to note.
