I'll second that. I have the Tak flavor and its oh so sweet. I still prefer the "vanilla" Prid WJ. I am a big fan of FE Bulkhead though. Now that's a nice fig and maybe my fav. This is quickly going to become a top Prime fig list. Why don't we just save some time and add all but Airachnid and call it a day

Her legion figure was actually very decent

Also, I have both the PRiD and BH Bulkhead, and I love both. I think the BH Bulk wins though cause he looks so badass with some Roadbuster colors, a Cyclops-visor, and spikes!

Never got the first edition Bulk, but it does look pretty frikkin' cramfantastic

I just want to buy all the Prime figures now. Dang it.

You know what? Where's the 3rd party doing those figures?! Jerks!!

I have the trifecta of Bulkie figures. Each has their own strengths. I don't mess with the Prid one much anymore, I took the BH one's head apart and painted the spikes silver and I have that sweet blaster upgrade for the FE.

If you can track down an FE mold do it. It's seriously bulky and makes Breakdown feel small and light.




Not sure if you can see the silver on the horns and oh hai Tak BH WJ

I do love the Roadbuster colors and is the main reason I picked that figure up (also was cheap). And the size of it being a deluxe is great

But if we are talking ultimate Prime Bulkhead figure, this is how you do it

Jeez, that lens I was using has such a short focal length

Oh hell yes! Yeah, I do want that figure. Bulkhead was among my favorite animated characters, and he was my favorite Prime guy, so yeah, he means a lot to me!

Those arm cannons are dead sexy too, geez!

Also Cary: if you wanted to take a peek over in my thread, I have a new guessing game that the young dogs seem to be unable to crack, if you, CramFantastic, and even Cobotron wanted to take a crack at

HA! I was gonna throw out a nomination for Cyberverse Commader Class Bulky. LOVE that dwarven armor. Def the best Bulkhead I have.

And you haven't tasted Jack until you've licked the Dark Energon version. He's made of pure blueberry rock candy magical goodness!



Taste the rainbow!

I highly recommend that 3P cannon upgrade. They also become a big honking solus prime type hammer. The kit also has a bumper for alt and robot mode.

I never pull those cannons off unless I'm transforming him

I saw your guessing game, but I have no clue. You mentioned Burn so I immediately though Stalker, but you said unique two bots in a size class all their own on opposing factions. No idea, but I have some of that ninja patience we talk about 'round these parts and can just wait for the haul thread to update

I like that lil BH as well, but he's definitely not my fav.

I've been resisting that DE set for months on BBTS. I keep talking myself out of them, but then I go look at them again or something brings them up. If they drop a little lower, I'll jump. Honestly I just keep hoping they go out of stock and I can just deal with the regrets instead

I just posted some additional clues, though you and your ninja patience

And now I'm off to hunt for a FE Bulkhead. And those arm cannons are perfect and I can't blame you for getting them!

I'v resisted those sets too, but they do look so awesome!

In the ballpark I guess.

"Powerful hammer"

Snap, I don't remember that scene!! The hammer from CNY Ultra Magnus would work well too!!

One of my favorite quotes of the series:

"Mines Bigger!"

Though I will say i'm pretty sure my favorite was "You love doing your dirty work from a distance, don't ya? Too bad you don't have the ball bearings to fight up close and personal!"

It's a thing that happened. I've only formed the hammer once.

What's this CNY? This guy?



I've considered giving the hammer that came with my Prid UM a lick of paint to match.

good times

That reminds me, I still need that Dreadwing mold dangit

I need it too! I got the BH one, but it pales in comparison to the voyager from what i've heard. It's also the only one I ever saw and I was still in high school, so no online ordering for me!

I like the BH mold quite a lot, but that's a one shot rando figure for a different display. With the exception of Smokescreen the BH and vanilla figures do not mix on my Prime shelf.

I saw both Dreadwing and his bro on the shelves back when Prime was a new thing, but I wasn't hardcore collecting then and money, space and stuff. Those asses go for a lot now a days

I only wants Dreads not so much interested in Quakes.

CNY is the Platinum Edition. It came in the same type of box that the other CNY stuff did that year I think, my bad.

Dats a big hammer captain

What does CNY stand for anyway?

Chinese New Year. They had red boxes with gold foil letters and stuff one year, that Platinum Ultra Magnus has a red box with gold foil letters. I gots confused.

Ah, makes sense. I was thinking year of the kinda thing but I just couldn't wrap my head around it. I saw that UM plenty times at TRU. Just too damn big and that hammer is redonk. The real shame is that he can't even hold it correctly.

Bulk and Cliff were the only 2 PRiD characters I got, the rest were filled out by BH. I only got into collecting harder core around the fall of 2013 when all the BH guys were hitting. up until then, it was a few I saw in store. Online for transformers didn't exist for me until 2014.

Metroplex was actually my first transformer I ordered online for my birthday in 2014

Saw we were talking about TF Prime so I decided to leave a thought. Dreadwing is a sweet mold. A couple years ago I ordered him from some rando site in box for about retail I think. In hindsight that was probably a bad idea but at least I avoided the aftermarket.

Wheeljack, Vehicon, Rachet, and Soundwave are all fantastic.

The only Prime toys I have right now are Shockwave and Steve a Vehicon. Both used, the latter missing his gun. Still, amazing figures! Trying to find a standard deluxe Wheeljack now...
Oh, and I just started watching the show for the first time! Only on episode five though, busy.

That almost makes Captain Hammer look bad!

Almost.

So I got a thing today. Selling a few pieces, but here are some pics.




Nautica is my cash cow and already up for bids.

For the MtMtE fans out there.



DIE-CAST! Both the face and the torso








Roddy is growing on me.


Quickswitch is surprisingly the standout figure in this pack. I haven't put him through all his paces yet, but the sheer size is impressive. Seems like a fun toy and really gives me a feeling of a true leader class.

I had a buyer from jump street on Laser Prime. Cobrotron! Figured I have a little fun before shipping him out.





So much Diac, but which one is the clone?




Get in loser, we're going to the mid-west


More like Optimus Fine, amiright?

And the number one reason I picked up this set...


Legend class is the coolest He's a doofy lil cuss, but I love 'em

Capn' Propeller Head



Wouldn't be Velocitron without a race



Or a ride



Um... wut?




Eyes are up here pal

And now with chest bursting action




Or Crotch

And a parting shot with the usual suspects


Now ya'all come back now, y'hear!

Nice!

If I didn't actually want Laser Prime, Fastlane and Roddy, I would take that Nautica off your hands hombre

Nice, Cary!!! I want the others as well as Nautica, so Imma hope my TRUs restock this Thursday....!

Actually I could do without Laser Prime too since I will get that mold as Octone. Nautica + Fastlane + Roddy (maybe could do without him as well) and I would be good for the set
