I'm really liking that Bulkhead.

It says that this is "Voyager Prime Universe Bulkhead" and "Bulkhead's design is inspired by The Transformers: Prime series." That's far more explicit that mere deco inspiration.william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:The article states twice that this is supposed to be Prime Bulkhead. That is not Prime Bulkhead.
Does the article also mention the word "inspire" or something or other? I can't access it due to site restrictions on my laptop. Because if it does, then they are in the clear a bit.

I think they're supposed to replicate spare tires that military trucks tend to have stored right there

Hasbro: includes spare tires directly inspired by real-life model
Fandom: fake parts, bad design

I would have liked a Prime Bulkhead more than a G1 version, but I already have a Prime Bulkhead, so I'm covered. Undecided on this one.

Honestly, they both look like a pile of ass

I remember people speculating that JP93 was based on a potential Skids. Looks like that's out the window.
Was the older Gen Skids too small in vehicle mode? That's the only thing that makes me kinda want a new one. This one looks fine. Like Skids. But also doesn't blow me away or anything.

These were probably designed by Warden given the design time...
I don't really care for these, more power to the people who actually want them.

So I'm so going to but it!
If it helps to alleviate and/or temper your concerns and expectations at all, current rumors have Knock Out as an SS86 Jazz retool with at least a new head and a full alt mode reshell (no mention of weapons yet, but I assume those'll be different as well, hence the at least), and details came out about Arcee overnight that make her sound the most source-accurate of the Prime gang so far.william-james88 wrote:I will say this is making me **** scared about Knockout.
