Yet again Seiber's beautiful gallery make me want to buy a TF I initially dont want X_X...Damn that Voyager Starscream look good now @_@...

Bulkhead is an easy pass. Dont get me wrong he looks good but I have no reason to buy him since I have the FE. Despite what people say I think he's a good replacement to those who cant afford the FE on eBay.

Beautiful gallery as always Seiber

. Looking forward to more awesome gallery in the future.

I wish they had designed bulkhead different from the start. his weapons just don't translate well from show to toy. he should have had a nonintegrated mace instead of his arm turning into one. more like how dreadwing and wheeljack have actual swords.

Call me weird but I like the RID versions better.

Well, that tears it; FE Bulkhead is defintely far more superior than PRID Bulkhead. /:)

I like the RID versions just as much as the FE versions for the most part. There are certain aspects of RID I prefer over FE.

Starscream: Love that head, but the rest of him is too kibble-y. The FE is way more streamlined and sleek in both forms, being more show-accurate as a whole. Not to mention this Voyager is too tall, towering over his Deluxe comrades and even slightly besting Megatron's height. Once again, the FE is more correctly scaled.

Bulkhead: Like the head, like the legs, altmode's practically identical to the FE, but the rest is a big letdown.

Might get these molds if they're later redecoed/remolded into new characters, but I'll probably pass on these particular versions.

You're weird.

However I will admit that I think the RiD Starscream has better proportions than the FE one, but the extra flare, kibble and size ruins it for me.

I agree with CrimsonPrime that RiD Bulkhead isn't too bad a substitute if you can't get the FE version, but yeah, FE still wins that one.

I'm thinking headswapping. Dem mugz are what's accurate. Everything else? Not so much... RID bulkhead even has a moving mouth! Come on, what's not cool about that? FE bulkhead's head is too blocky, so swapping them seems like a good call.
Voyager Starscream's head looks the same size as the deluxe, but it might not work. Just saying, for you kitbashers out there, there are new things to try!

Well Bulkhead doesn't look as bad as I first thought he was, might get him if I need a big figure to customize.

Too bad the Dallas, Tx area is extremely lazy about putting new product out... I'm looking for Voyager starscream, but I'm pretty sure I won't have it until August. Same with the Vehicons. I saw a FE Bulkhead at Botcon for $100, but by the time I made up my mind on it, it was gone.... I really dont want this one......

He's a smirker! MANGLE!

Oh how I hate being on the East Coast where it takes forever for new toys to come in.

He took the spring out, just take it apart and pull the spring off the peg, it's completely trivial.
And he painted it.

I could happily put that Bulkhead in my classics it has enough variation to think there from different lines while at the same time giving Prime fans an alternative.

I think he uses clear elastics, or at least I know that's what he's used in the past to hold them open. Pretty sure he doesn't like to actually mod them.

That works too, lol.
