Bulkhead must receive an upgrade like Bumblebee...

That is totally made of win. Passing on Deluxe and Voyager Classes.

Yeah I got a Voyager off eBay though and i like him too but I prefer the head/neck on the larger toy for a start. I like that the voyager is kind of Squat looking though.

Not yet. Bumblebee's toy has the rockets, yet he didn't get them until episode 8, Nanosec.

My guess is, Bulkhead will receive an upgrade like Bumblebee at some point.

Wow - That looks so much better than the voyager version.

For a moment, I thought, "Hold the phone--is this just a doctored Voyager?"

After all, he's holding Prowl's accessories, which look reasonably big, as does Lockdown on the right of the second picture. Here are some differences I spot between this mold and the Voyager that suggest it is, indeed, a different toy:

The forearms are differently sized, shaped, and proportioned.
Same with the "wings" on the back.
Same with the legs.

There is a depression on top of the smaller toy in vehicle mode. Not on this one.

The different wheels, the hand razor, and the forearm attachments are all fairly obvious, though if those were the only difference, I might take this as someone's digital representation of what the smaller one ought to have been. If this is some kind of digibash, it's good enough I won't mind having been fooled. It's significantly different from the mold we've seen.

Honestly, the thing we've been calling a Voyager is so small, are we sure that that isn't a Deluxe, and this the Voyager?

Regardless, this is the toy I'll be buying.

Nice find, Gattai Da. You're still new here--welcome. Where the heck did you find this?

if you look close enough..he ISN'T holding prowls weapon at all. Prowl is and the string just happens to go down in front of bulkheads hand. And i got the voyager bulkhead in packaging and it clearly states voyager class on it...so this is definately NOT a voyager class...and my guess...again if you look close enough...leader classes come with lights and sounds...it looks like his autobot symbol on his chest is a red translucent piece...possibly lighting up

... ... Ah screw it... I'm going to get every character in this line.

I hate that character... but I MUST buy that figure!

He has a NECK! *dies*

by **Uniprimus** » Thu Feb 14, 2008 6:49 am

Well, this is very cool.

But there are a few things I notice:

Unless he gets an upgrade, why does he have so much firepower?
If he does, I hope the other Autobots get some much needed guns.
He has a saw in his right hand, which is weird.
From the look of it, we may be getting a leader Prowl (to the right of pic)
And finally, I hope to Primus he can form his chair.

Bulkhead will be leader version too?? :shock:

by **woosh** » Thu Feb 14, 2008 8:27 am

daamn. he looks more like a remold of the voyager bulkhead. but anyway, looks badass, probably will be repainted into something evil a few months later.

a possible explanation is that when/if bulkhead becomes 'possessed' by the head master (and the CCN video of this toy showed him with what was likely headmaster on)is that he gets an evil upgrade at that time and this is it!!

the prowl is most likely a blown up (relative to bulkhead) picture of the delux toy.

I see how this is going to go.

All the Autobots are going to get upgraded until they can fight toe-to-toe with the Decepticons.

The Decepticons will be left wondering how they got so powerful, or some similar reaction.
