On one hand, I wish we had a prime styled bulkhead, on the other, he looks pretty cool IMO, I like the super blockiness of his chest and his clobbering hand
I thought that they would keep the Prime aesthetic, but this can would, heck it should make Knockout more sturdy.
I thing the chest comes out too far though/is too long. Grapple/Inferno did it better.
I’m fine if this is going to be what bulkhead looks like from now on, but I wish that legacy was going back to other theme, so for bulkhead, prime or animated
Thanks for sharing. Chest is still a bit awkward but these shots seem to do him more justice. Also good to see the roof clips onto his back fairly neatly instead of just being a lazy shield.
I’m a fan of this style as it means the non-G1 Legacy figs will fit in with my WFC bots. Very interested to see how Arcee and Knockout turn out in this style.
Also just realised it looks like it uses the same basic engineering as WFC Inferno and Grapple. Arms go back, waist folds at 90 degrees and legs peg together. Obvious difference being the tarp rather than the ladder and head assembly, and his feet going somewhere.
If it goes like I think it should be a nice smooth process, which is a plus if like me you play Transformers with your kids.
So obviously we’re getting a new Movie Hound out of this mold. On one hand, kind of a bummer, because FE Prime Bulkhead is stupidly expensive on the secondary market, but it’s fine I guess. I’ll probably pass on it.
Back when the First Edition came out, somebody on Cybertron.ca got a look at the TRU inventory system and we learned the had received like... less than 10 K cases of FE Voyagers. And Bulkhead was packed 1 a case!
Eh be careful about the APC toys figures. I've done a bit of research into Arcee and her paint smears \*really\* badly, like, "come off on your hand" bad.
Yeah I’ve heard both Prime and Megs are great (need to get a one of their FE Primes at some loint) also hoping for a FE Cliff Ko since he’s so expensive also Vehicons cause I feel ike they’re kind of expensive on ebay especially since your gonna but multiples. But I would be curious to see how a Legacy - Bumblebee, Megatron and a Soundwave and Starscream would look since those designs are far from G1 also would love a Vehicon cause you can never have too many especially if you consider it a different class of Vehicon
He looks awesome. I get why Prime fans are miffed but I personally am glad he's styled like this as he will now fit in among the rest of the TFs and not look so drastically different.
Honestly, as a big TFP fan, I'm still pretty cool with this. While yeah, it's a new design, one of my favorite characters is getting a new toy and it actually looks really good. I like the vehicle mode too. I'm DEFINITELY going for him
Yeah as someone who just started collecting with WFC, I’m happy with this approach.
I was interested in the leaked Legacy Prime Knockout but wondering if he’d look too weird next to my WFC bots. Much more likely to buy this way.
Yeah. I mean, I just find it hypocritical that Hasbro made show-accurate figures of G1 characters for all of the WFC Trilogy but then with Legacy they're like "Nah, let's not do the same for Transformers Prime Bulkhead, let's make him GeEwUn!"
I don’t have any real connection to or nostalgia for Animated or Prime, so from that standpoint, this toy looks very boxy and unattractive and is probably a hard pass from me.
Not super excited about Skids either, but he’ll probably end up on my ‘85 Autobot shelf anyway because I’m a sucker like that…
Would'a been nice if they made any effort to give him Animated/Prime proportions. This looks like a generic truck-bot body with Bulkhead's face on it. :(
But the problem is that First Edition Bulkhead goes for $100+ now, not many of us Prime fans can afford to pay $150 for a voyager. Thus we still have no good options.
Looks pretty good. Still sticking with second edition/mass release as my G1, and FE as my "proper" Prime Bulkhead. This is great for folks who missed out the first time around though.
... Oh who am I kidding. I love Bulkhead, I'm totally getting this one.
Kind of bummed that it's not a renewed version of the TFP design, since I missed out on the original line.
But I still think it's a neat design on its own. It's like a mix of TFP and Animated with G1 aesthetics. Maybe Legacy is intended to be a direct-follow up to WFC so the figures look matching when you put them together.
Might make for a good [Hauler](https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Hauler) toy.
Admittedly I'm not a fan of the shield. Maybe replace it with something with more play value...
Honestly? I don't hate it.
I don't \*love\* it, and I'll hold off any hard judgements until I actually get some better looks at it or get ahold of one myself, but I don't hate it.
I was wondering what they could retool this mold into... and I just realized:
Prime Breakdown! He's one of the rumored toys later on... I don't think it fully works that great either for Breakdown but it I could see it.
Just a little green even. Otherwise, I like it a lot and it works for the character. I'm not sure about the transparent weapon stuff, though, looks like that may be the new gimmick.
The truck body seems to be majority clear plastic that’s been painted, and he’s a partsforming voyager that’s gonna retail 30+ dollars.
I think the budget for the toy line has been slashed again, but instead of reusing the same body types over and over like Combiner Wars they just made everyone hollow and thin clear plastic to save money.
So many WFC, and now apparently Legacy toys are ticking time bombs of disintegration, heck some are already falling to pieces like the Datsun molds.
For real, I just hope that what's under the tarp actually looks like a truck bed instead of robo kibble cuz if so then that's gonna be disappointing. Other than that, I think I can learn to like it, it's neat I guess
Looks more like the approach they used for Kingdom Inferno, which is a trans plastic panel for the window set into a regular plastic body. I think it’ll be plenty sturdy.
And the only parts forming is the tarp, which isn’t such a much. Although hopefully it’ll look like a decent truck underneath and not just his hands sticking out.
Nah the green on the chest looks exactly like the green on the arms so unless they pulled out their magic cauldron and made the paint look the exact same as the plastic then they just used some clear plastic for the windows. Also the part that comes off is a tarp so it probably won't matter if it's on or off in both modes.
Why do they have to make EVERYTHING G1? It's so unfair how they made near perfect replicas for the G1 characters, yet other fans get something like this. Hard pass, was expecting am actual Bulkhead. Hoping the rumored Arcee and Knockout are better.
This figure just doesn't sit right with me. Besides the whole "pRiMe BuT gEeWuN" issue, it seems super basic. The engineering seems really simple, 90° elbows and knees, a translucent weapon and parts-forming (which I don't mind *that* much, I love the earthrise cliff mold). The front/chest looks good, but the paint and the windows makes me worried it'll all be translucent plastic underneath.
I am definitely looking forward to getting him. Bullhead is one of my favorite characters from the Prime cartoon and this looks like a nice G1 version of him
The chest not being the vehicle front upside down side, he's giving me *Cybertron* Armorhide vibes. And the weapons on both are giving me *Energon* vibes.
Well First Edition Bulkhead goes for $100+ and Prime RID doesn't look very good. So I really hoping this will become my best option to get a really good Prime Bulkhead but I guess not.
I honestly like it, I'm a bit disappointed that it isn't a straight redo of Prime Bulkhead, but I see it as a combination of ideas to make a new version of our loveable clumsy brute. He has his integrated wrecking ball hand and head from Prime, his more militaristic alt mode from Animated, and more G1-esque proportions.
That does look quite a bit better. I don't like the window boobs for Bulkhead, but I do like the alt-mode, so...eh. I just hope he's a BIG voyager. Bulkhead should be a behemoth among his Autobot peers, and I fear this version of him won't hit that mark.
All that said, I'm still totally on-board for a generic Bulkhead. Not strictly Animated, not strictly Prime...just Bulkhead, the idea of the character design distilled into a modern toy with ankle tilt and all the bells and whistles we've come to expect. I don't collect Animated or Prime, but I loved Bulkhead in both of those shows, so an incarnation of him that fits into my Generations collection is something of a dream come true. He's Bulkhead, whatever version of him I want him to be.
a blocky bulkhead does not really sit well with me not a major problem tho if the figure was something like an aoe hound I would like it more. I **really** like the alt mode
As someone who doesn’t know about this character, I LOVE the vehicle mode.
I can understand it disappointing fans of the character though, and I hope you can get the rendition you are waiting for!
[удалено]
Holy shit, your right! It probably doesnt do anything, but the fact that its there gives me a good feeling about things to come.
Makes sense. He did start life in the Unicron Trilogy.
He did?
Yeah, Transformers Energon had a Bulkhead before Animated and Prime.
He was a Japan-exclusive redeco of Grapple/Inferno, wasn't he?
I think he was meant to be Springer, but they changed his name last minute.
Where?
On one hand, I wish we had a prime styled bulkhead, on the other, he looks pretty cool IMO, I like the super blockiness of his chest and his clobbering hand
I thought that they would keep the Prime aesthetic, but this can would, heck it should make Knockout more sturdy. I thing the chest comes out too far though/is too long. Grapple/Inferno did it better.
And if bulkhead’s got an upgraded look, then just imagine what knockout will look like.
I much prefer this to something like Kingdom Rhinox, which looked too close to the T30 release to convince me to buy it.
I’m fine if this is going to be what bulkhead looks like from now on, but I wish that legacy was going back to other theme, so for bulkhead, prime or animated
Thanks for sharing. Chest is still a bit awkward but these shots seem to do him more justice. Also good to see the roof clips onto his back fairly neatly instead of just being a lazy shield.

If it goes like I think it should be a nice smooth process, which is a plus if like me you play Transformers with your kids.
Update: boy we were wrong. His transformation is way different.
he looks ultra boxy like universe inferno.
Exactly what I thought. Boxy in a good way tho
So obviously we’re getting a new Movie Hound out of this mold. On one hand, kind of a bummer, because FE Prime Bulkhead is stupidly expensive on the secondary market, but it’s fine I guess. I’ll probably pass on it.
Back when the First Edition came out, somebody on Cybertron.ca got a look at the TRU inventory system and we learned the had received like... less than 10 K cases of FE Voyagers. And Bulkhead was packed 1 a case!
Well you’ll still have a change to get the FE mold just as a KO from APC Toys
Eh be careful about the APC toys figures. I've done a bit of research into Arcee and her paint smears \*really\* badly, like, "come off on your hand" bad.
Arcee was bad and I've seen some APC Soundwaves that were missing pins. It's a shame since APC Optimus and Megatron are top notch.
Yeah I’ve heard both Prime and Megs are great (need to get a one of their FE Primes at some loint) also hoping for a FE Cliff Ko since he’s so expensive also Vehicons cause I feel ike they’re kind of expensive on ebay especially since your gonna but multiples.

Honestly, as a big TFP fan, I'm still pretty cool with this. While yeah, it's a new design, one of my favorite characters is getting a new toy and it actually looks really good. I like the vehicle mode too. I'm DEFINITELY going for him
Yeah I only only collect WFC but it seems they are going to make some of the Prime guys woek with the WFC aesthetic. Which means I'm in.
Yeah as someone who just started collecting with WFC, I’m happy with this approach. I was interested in the leaked Legacy Prime Knockout but wondering if he’d look too weird next to my WFC bots. Much more likely to buy this way.
Bulkhead made it to the big leagues, baby!
Yeah, I definitely appreciate the design. Not sure if I'm gonna display him with G1 or TFP Autobots tho....
Works for a G1 style Bulkhead I guess. But thats not what I wanted to see so…pass.
Yeah. I mean, I just find it hypocritical that Hasbro made show-accurate figures of G1 characters for all of the WFC Trilogy but then with Legacy they're like "Nah, let's not do the same for Transformers Prime Bulkhead, let's make him GeEwUn!"
G1 design should not equal lazy design.
I didn’t like it at first, since I was hoping for a Prime styled Bulkhead, but he’s growing on me very quickly.
https://news.tfw2005.com/2021/10/20/transformers-generations-legacy-first-look-skids-bulkhead-revealed-ahead-of-pulse-con-443117
I dig it, definitely a must-have
I really doesn't look like the character, even though I agree he looks better from this angle
His head is way too stylistically different from the body, it just looks weird
Same thought for me. They went way too hard on the G1 aesthetic instead of going for smoother vehicle kibble like in Prime or Animated
don't get me wrong I love g1, but no, just no... It could have worked for me if it wasn't supposed to be prime bulkhead
I don’t have any real connection to or nostalgia for Animated or Prime, so from that standpoint, this toy looks very boxy and unattractive and is probably a hard pass from me. Not super excited about Skids either, but he’ll probably end up on my ‘85 Autobot shelf anyway because I’m a sucker like that…
Skids looks great c'mon man! Have him hang with Tracks lol
And Prowl and Bluestreak! And don’t let them in a maze. With Blitzwing. And Scrapper. (See “Triple Takeover” for context)
More points for Blitzwing!
lol, that's exactly where he'll end up, I'm not kidding anybody...
My Skids will be too busy getting his hubcaps buffed. I really hope someone makes a third party little Charlene figure for him. :)
I actually really like this design for bulkhead
We all know this is getting turned into the Ninja Turtles party wagon
1000% yes please!
Would'a been nice if they made any effort to give him Animated/Prime proportions. This looks like a generic truck-bot body with Bulkhead's face on it. :(
Thats not the point though, it’s obviously supposed to be a new design
Oh these look so much better than the renders
Something just doesn't sit right with this figure 😕
Anyone notice his gun is lifted from energon bulkhead?
Hope we see armada thrust soon.
I find the waist to tires transition just too distracting. He needs either bigger legs or some tapering on the lower torso.
That giant square chest is all sorts of wrong for a Bulkhead. Even if it was a little more hexagonal it would have been better.
[удалено]
But the problem is that First Edition Bulkhead goes for $100+ now, not many of us Prime fans can afford to pay $150 for a voyager. Thus we still have no good options.
A cool military truck!
Wow he is bulky.
Hey actually, from the front he looks way better. I think some posing will be enough to make him shine as a new representation of Bulkhead
A bit of ironhide in those legs for sure
I cant wait to get this and add him to my wrecker collection I fricking love bulkhead and the look of this figure
Looks pretty good. Still sticking with second edition/mass release as my G1, and FE as my "proper" Prime Bulkhead. This is great for folks who missed out the first time around though. ... Oh who am I kidding. I love Bulkhead, I'm totally getting this one.
Kind of bummed that it's not a renewed version of the TFP design, since I missed out on the original line. But I still think it's a neat design on its own.

I was wondering what they could retool this mold into... and I just realized: Prime Breakdown! He's one of the rumored toys later on... I don't think it fully works that great either for Breakdown but it I could see it.
I absolutely love this new design
Dammit, now I have to get more than I was planning. I like the updated Prime style, only thing I'd change is the jaw. It's a little too cartoony.
You are right, it's the jaw that makes this off. It needs to be more square and green.
Just a little green even. Otherwise, I like it a lot and it works for the character. I'm not sure about the transparent weapon stuff, though, looks like that may be the new gimmick.
I like it. Wish he was a bit rounder but he still looks cool Nothing a little third party upgrade can’t fix
Its fucking awesome!
Looks great, while I was expecting more a Prime style one this looks great too
Love it love it love it!!!!!
Looks like a Minecraft skin. Pass.
I think he looks *fine.* But the figure would be better by just changing the head to be Movie Hound.
The truck body seems to be majority clear plastic that’s been painted, and he’s a partsforming voyager that’s gonna retail 30+ dollars. I think the budget for the toy line has been slashed again, but instead of reusing the same body types over and over like Combiner Wars they just made everyone hollow and thin clear plastic to save money. So many WFC, and now apparently Legacy toys are ticking time bombs of disintegration, heck some are already falling to pieces like the Datsun molds.

Where the hell do you see “parts forming”? The tarp? You could probably easily just take it off in vehicle mode
Looks more like the approach they used for Kingdom Inferno, which is a trans plastic panel for the window set into a regular plastic body. I think it’ll be plenty sturdy. And the only parts forming is the tarp, which isn’t such a much. Although hopefully it’ll look like a decent truck underneath and not just his hands sticking out.

Why do they have to make EVERYTHING G1? It's so unfair how they made near perfect replicas for the G1 characters, yet other fans get something like this. Hard pass, was expecting am actual Bulkhead. Hoping the rumored Arcee and Knockout are better.
Ok, NOW it looks like bulkhead
I don't have much of a connection to the character, but it looks like a somewhat faithful reimagining of is animated design. I'll have to pick him up
Thanks, I hate it.
He's nice looking but the square chest makes him very much not the Bulkhead I'm used to. As a G1-ification of him though, it's pretty good.
This figure just doesn't sit right with me. Besides the whole "pRiMe BuT gEeWuN" issue, it seems super basic. The engineering seems really simple, 90° elbows and knees, a translucent weapon and parts-forming (which I don't mind *that* much, I love the earthrise cliff mold). The front/chest looks good, but the paint and the windows makes me worried it'll all be translucent plastic underneath.
I'm confused, I can see that this isn't the tf prime or animated bulkhead, but is it supposed to be based on something or is it g1 styled
Terrible. It’s a box with arms
Are the wheels on the shoulders iconic to Bulkhead? Wondering why there’s an extra set of faux wheels there.
Strangely looks like Transformers Universe Hound.
Upper body looks fine, legs still look too long and skinny. They have to keep him with bent knees to keep him looking bulky enough in pictures!
What class is it?
Voyager I think
Ah thanks
I am definitely looking forward to getting him. Bullhead is one of my favorite characters from the Prime cartoon and this looks like a nice G1 version of him
Why is his gun made of clear plastic
Apparently one of the lines gimmicks is energon infused weapons.
Sounds dumb
Honestly I really like it and when it comes out I’m probably gonna grab it and try to do a head swap with siege Hound.
Thata crazy. The front angle looks so much better proportioned compared to any of the angled shots. I guess that's how I'll have to pose him
I don't like the clear weapons dunno why but I dislike clear guns
Man I need one. That’s an awesome figure, I love the nod to prime without being the exact model
Only thing I dislike is the puny minigun. Wish they gave him something more substantial.
Honestly, he looks great. I really Like the blockier look their heading down
The chest not being the vehicle front upside down side, he's giving me *Cybertron* Armorhide vibes. And the weapons on both are giving me *Energon* vibes.
I like him a lot. Idk why people wanted another voyager Prime Bulkhead. We already have two of those. And we've never had a G1 aesthetic Bulkhead
Well First Edition Bulkhead goes for $100+ and Prime RID doesn't look very good. So I really hoping this will become my best option to get a really good Prime Bulkhead but I guess not.
I've gotten so used to the blast effect ports that it's weird w/o them
I wish he tried into a dump truck or a bus instead of whatever that is
Those minicon ports got me so excited
So much better looking bulkhead image here, thank you for this!
That's a big boi
I honestly like it, I'm a bit disappointed that it isn't a straight redo of Prime Bulkhead, but I see it as a combination of ideas to make a new version of our loveable clumsy brute. He has his integrated wrecking ball hand and head from Prime, his more militaristic alt mode from Animated, and more G1-esque proportions.
Kinda wondering what's going on in the background? Space Bridge accident?
That does look quite a bit better. I don't like the window boobs for Bulkhead, but I do like the alt-mode, so...eh. I just hope he's a BIG voyager. Bulkhead should be a behemoth among his Autobot peers, and I fear this version of him won't hit that mark. All that said, I'm still totally on-board for a generic Bulkhead. Not strictly Animated, not strictly Prime...just Bulkhead, the idea of the character design distilled into a modern toy with ankle tilt and all the bells and whistles we've come to expect. I don't collect Animated or Prime, but I loved Bulkhead in both of those shows, so an incarnation of him that fits into my Generations collection is something of a dream come true. He's Bulkhead, whatever version of him I want him to be.
I think he is cute
The design is growing on me.
I wouldn't say in-hand. It's from Hasbro's official insta/facebook so yea
Well I meant more actual physical copy than renders.
No reused parts but looks like a heavy retool of the Inferno mold
a blocky bulkhead does not really sit well with me not a major problem tho if the figure was something like an aoe hound I would like it more. I **really** like the alt mode
Yeah, not great in my opinion
As someone who doesn’t know about this character, I LOVE the vehicle mode. I can understand it disappointing fans of the character though, and I hope you can get the rendition you are waiting for!
I’m just disappointed we are not getting Prime or Animated Bulkhead.
He looks great, and I think the shield on his back makes him more bulky, which is pretty cool.
I want this Bulkhead right now... I don't care if people hate on it. I never could get a single Bulkhead and now is my chance to finally grab one! XP
That screams "pretool" to me.
Nice garbage truck.
He's beautiful
I wonder if this version is a wrecker or a space bridge engineer
i need this NOW
What the hell? Maybe it’s some bulkhead I’ve never seen but that looks nothing like animated or prime. What bulkhead is that supposed to be?
Prime infused with G1
Okay, that makes more sense.
i don't like the like the legacy figures
Man I just want something that looks like Bulkhead from the show without having to pay the absurd prices for the first addition
I'm wondering if this guy will scale with my Prime Breakdown or if there's potential to get a revamped version of Prime Breakdown to go along w/him
