Product Description

It's hard not to like BULKHEAD. Despite being huge and strong, he's the kindest, most gentle of the AUTOBOTS®, and he always has other people's best interests at heart. He's also a klutz. That's why it's so terrifying when the HEADMASTER takes over his body. BULKHEAD regularly engages in wholesale property damage purely by accident. With the HEADMASTER in charge of his body, will anyone be able to stop the tide of destruction? Change this green machine from menacing robot mode to armored truck mode and back again! Robot mode features a spinning buzzsaw and a claw that opens and closes. Aim the removable air torpedoes in both modes! This dynamic AUTOBOT figure has electronic lights and speech, and a head that moves and changes expression when he "talks". Place the HEADMASTER helmet on the robot's head and its voice and light color changes! Use your imagination and your advanced-conversion skills when you add this all-green warrior to your TRANSFORMERS collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Favorite Animated Leader-Class Transformer, August 26, 2008

This review is from: Transformers Animated Leader - Bulkhead (Toy)

This version of Transformers Animated Bulkhead is every bit the lovable lunk from the cartoon. As with the other Animated Leader figures I've purchased, I find no issue with the quality of construction of Bulkhead.

Although he lacks any sort of spring-loaded projectiles or features a-la Optimus's axe, this figure has plenty of gizmos to keep the kids entertained. Each hand has a special feature, be it a grapple claw or spinning saw blade, and there are four detachable rockets for folks that just have to launch something!

Robot mode is enhanced by the Headmaster accessory that changes the expressions used when you press the sound effects button. The Headmaster feature really does make this toy a three-in-one hit.

Conversion is easy and all pieces fit snugly. Bulkhead's truck mode is a better vehicle than the Optimus truck mode, in my opinion, as all wheels engage easily and roll rather than skidding across the floor.

All said, I think Leader Class Bulkhead is the best of the Animated bunch so far considering quality of construction, ease of transformation, extra features, and fun in both conversion modes.

This review is from: Transformers Animated Leader - Bulkhead (Toy)

I purchased 2 of these so I could reshell the arms to give bulkhead two normal hands. Both of these purchased here were sub-par. I've heard that Hasbro's got a lot of QA problems, especially after the first run of the figure. Both bulkheads had pretty bad scratches on the surface and one of them was missing a siren and a turret. Not too pleased about that.

On a general level the toy is awesome. After mod-ing him he's become a close-to-perfect bulkhead figure (although I'd much rather have a poseable head than the little animated mechanism/voice button).

This review is from: Transformers Animated Leader - Bulkhead (Toy)

This was purchased from Amazon as a present for my then 4 year old son for xmas 2008. It is one of the largest class of transformers and this class is better built then the smaller ones. It is very well made in comparison and has held up well to a years worth of playing now. It has rockets (the ones you can see on the outside of the wrists) that were lost long ago and the small shields that cover the head have been broken off, but overall it has done very well indeed. It is still one of the transformers my son will play with when he decides that is what he is interested in that day. More importantly for me it is one of the easier ones to transform and I don't fear the words "Daddy transform this for me" when he has it. I would recommend this one.
