Yes he's short...
He's also really, really bulky (hence the name...).
My big question is what the heck does the black button
on his right bicep do?

W00t, I made the news. 
Oh, right, back on topic... I like what I'm seeing of the fig so far. The packaging is still a little out there, but I definitely intend on picking him up.
I do wish they'd decided to call him Crumplezone or something, though. I swear he looks like some long lost distant relative... XD

I don't like the colors that Animated is running with. Everything is both bold and flat at the same time.
The shape of the box I like, I hate when the fronts bubble out, you can never store those.
Either way, this figure is a pass for though.

Apparently, the Black tab activates a punching action on his right arm.
I really like the look of this figure, he has proportions that suit the character, even if he is short for a Voyager (or even a deluxe) he does have a lot of bulk. Unlike Movie Blackout he doesn't lose half of his alt mode to make his robot mode, which is good.
Loving the paint work and the show likeness of this line more and more. Bring on June 08!

Excellent.
In bulkheads case the box seems to work, its bright and you can see the toy. Admittedly in box he looks more like an easter egg and that box really needs to be square.
What i like about the overall look is that it actually looks like a.......TOY, it looks like something a kid might get a bit excited over. The only thing that bothers me is the lack of a tech specs card or sheet, even energon had those, it just gives a little more individuality to the bot. Bulkhead reminds me of a cross between the macross destroid spartan and monster. Despite haters saying bulkhead isnt popular (they seen polls or something?? or asked kids their opinions??) i reckon kids will like him just because hes 'big' and bulky.

I wonder how well this will sell since the alt mode is not something that kids can easily identify (in my opinion).

That's probably intentional, seeing as Bulkhead's a big dumb oaf.

im not sure bulkheads alt mode is especially outlandish compared to TF from any line, if anything he is rather ordinary, a four wheeled (edit:6 wheeled!)roundish little truck.

the transformation is great, looks simple but ingenious (In contrast to move BB 08 which is quite ingenious but fiddly and probably annoying for kids), I like the folding wheels to form the heels. The lack of bot stuff showing in the alt mode is commendable and the kibble works as it should by actually forming the robot proper instead of getting in the way (classics prime arms and back) or being little more than a shell. kudos to the designer.

Why are there already 2 threads about this? As I stated in the other thread, I am not getting any Animated toys.

Yeah, I figured as much.
Tardy Turtle from Greg The Bunny FTW.

1.) The packaging is ridiculous. (Far too much wasted space.)
2.) He's too small to be a Voyager. (Ultra would've been perfect for him.)
3.) His transformation is far more complex than I imagined. (Plus!)
4.) He captures the animation model almost perfectly. (So bought.)
I'm seriously P.O.ed about the size class differences, but I'll forgive it.

I've said from the beginning that I like the Animated toys as a whole, but I DO NOT like Bulkhead, and I have no plans to buy him.
However, while I still am not going to buy him, these pictures DO make him look better than I've seen so far. This is the first I've heard that his toy actually has his "wrecking ball" from the show, so I think that's really cool. I may not buy him, but I think there will be plenty of kids that will think he's pretty cool, so I think he WILL sell.
Yeah, he's grown on me... I like him... But not enough to buy him.
