Animated Bulkhead had star designs too. This definitely isn't an exact match for Prime Bulkhead, but more like 80% him. The rest of the 10% could be just generic Bulkhead details drawing from inspirations external to the Prime cartoon design, which could be where the star came from. Like, one might have remembered that Animated Bulkhead had stars but didn't remember that Prime Bulkhead didn't, and just assumed that he did and so gave them to this toy.

HOLD UP - I think that star on "Bulkhead" is our first indicator that this is, in fact, their Hound design!
The very toyline you speak of was a dumb line by today's standards. Seriously, the toys of today are aiming to conform to the line of the 80s that you cite as having worked so well.Rated X wrote:How about instead of getting dumber toys we get smarter kids ?

And how in the world do these things "limit imagination"? The whole gimmick of these things is to let kids go nuts with their imaginations, creating all sorts of crazy mix-n-match combinations between all these figures. These things let kids create their own figures. The power of creation and creativity in the palms of their hands.
Do you seriously think that the only kinds of toys that children like to play with are ones that convert from one mode to another? There are many categories of toys and there, and these fit the bill of the swap-and-build snap-together kind, which is a territory that the Transformers brand has long yet to explore.One child =/= every child.ZackRoyer wrote:A nephew of mine (age 8 ) got ROTF leader class optimus prime (the "hardest" transformer you all b***h about) Did he cried like a little pussy because it was too hard?

Not every kid has the patience or the attention span to sit and waste 1-2 hours trying to get their toys from one mode into the other just so they can play with them.
It's not that the transformations are trying to be made dumber, it's that they trying to make them "quicker".

Or a samurai.

These aren't construction toys. And Hasbro's still in business, so I think they know what they're doing.
Every year people like you whine about the non-transforming TF products and say how stupid Hasbro is and how they're ruining the franchise. It's getting old. You're like those people who keep predicting the end of the world.

IKR? THATS THE BEST PART!!!! Hasbro are great at picking totally inappropriate recolors.
