Dropping a relic THAT powerful into the show's bag of goodies isn't just because the animators wanted to make a really big hammer and make a scene with Megatron smashing stuff. The problem would be that it's the kind of thing that is too powerful. It's the reason they brought in and killed off Makeshift so quickly. They didn't want to get in a spot in the future where they bring this kind of character in and it becomes overly powerful. If there's one thing I've learned to expect from this show, it is that nothing comes without a struggle; for either side.

Plus, as Megatron said, while the Forge is simply another addition to their tool kit in the hands of the Decepticons, it would provide a HUGE advantage to the Autobots if it fell into their hands. You don't think the Decepticons wouldn't fight like hell to keep that thing out of Autobot hands? Or better yet, destroy it for the same effect?

Besides, I have doubts the Forge could completely heal Bulkhead. The damage inflicted by Hardshell, no doubt, but Bulk was also suffering from Tox-En poisoning, something I doubt the Forge could cure. No doubt the poisoning will cause complications in the next episode.

No, if Bulkhead survives, it'll be thanks to a miracle at Ratchet's hands. No need for a magical object.

If Bulk does expire, one wonders what effect it will have on poor Miko - or Wheeljack.

Well as I've said numerous times to the point of probable annoyance, the writers have promised major character development for Miko. Poor girl has already given us a tear-jerker of a speech in TMI, but when Bulk dies? :(

But yes, when the Forge DOES make its next appearance, it is going to be big, bad, and ugly. Not something to be handled lightly. I could definitely see it being destroyed. That would be convenient for the writers. "Well now that we have this ridiculously powerful cure-all hammer of make-anything, how are we gonna get rid of it after it conveniently deus ex machinas the day? Destroy it? Yeah, that sounds good."

Personally, i'm on the "Bulkhead Should Die For Story Advancement" side of things.

Although, you have to consider the Autobots have an occupied Stasis Pod in their possesion, and desperate times call for desperate measures...

Yeah, and Ironhide isn't even a Wrecker.


Oooh, get her ;) nah, clearly my mind is scrambled by a lot of recent drama. It took me some time, probably due to the spelling mistake but I found out where I heard that. It must have become a false memory.

I can't help but think Bulkhead's possible death is already cheapened just by the relic-hunting nature of the show.
What was the tease of his fate in "Triangulation"? :???:

Some people argue that his death was being teased for most of the season, even into season one, which i call BS on.

Seriously? Care to share a link?


Found 'em, hang on....

http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transform ... omo-9.html

There's a few more here and there, but those are some of the main ones i can remember

Actually, didn't triangulation have Bulkhead's departure? It wasn't really a teaser but it did tease the episode itself

Thanks for those, man people have been suspecting this for a long time actually.

Still I wish it was Bumblebee and not Bulkhead who bites the dust. Bumblebee is so far the only character I just don't care for, Bulkhead is my second favourite Autobot after Arcee.


No problem :)
I like all of the autobots in general; Bulkhead is my favorite of the main cast, and Cliffjumper is my favorite overall, but i have yet to really enjoy a character to their fullest potential. I enjoy more decepticons than Autobots, i.e. the Insecticons, Dreadwing, Starscream, Soundwave, and pretty much all the other ones too.

No kidding. No Prime, and no Rescue Bots either. There's no new Transformers cartoon episode, period, airing tomorrow. Looking at my DVR schedule showing no TF episodes set to record tomorrow just makes it look incredibly bare. :-(
If you've read Exodus, wanna read the War For Cybertron comic? PM me.

Even if it's gonna record ThunderCats, Green Lantern, Young Justice, and The Legend of Korra, it's still lacking in TF episodes. :|
