I was mainly aiming at Blaster but didn't find it and took Bulkhead as a "consolation prise".Īnd I was pretty surprised by how much I liked it. Regardless, as a toy in a vacuum it's pretty well made, if not super-interesting to look at, and probably worth it if you like what you see and don't have a crippling strong investment in the character.Am I the first to write a Legacy Bulkhead review ? If you have big problems with this toy as Bulkhead, I kinda doubt having it in hand is gonna change your mind.
I could take or leave this toy, though I could see myself enjoying it more reworked into a new identity. Take away the veneer, and you're left with a solid, pretty stocky truck-bot that is VERY boxy in all its forms. I understand the concept of making more G1-styled versions of characters from Prime or other lines, but to me the 'Bulkhead' in this is mostly a surface veneer, like any convention exclusive toy where they slap a new head and color scheme on a toy with a close enough altmode or general shape and call it a day. IMO it's a pretty well-made toy, but it fails to excite me.
* Boxy truck mode looks OK, but relies on the tarp shield to cover its robot bits. The fact the whole cab section is completely made of transparent plastic painted over doesn't help either. * The robot mode is pretty solid, except for the main torso/cab section, which shows off its hollow box nature form most angles except the front and above. * The robot's face and jaw are two different tones of metallic paint, and the line between the two is kinda misplaced/sloppy on mine and another I've looked at. * Exactly how 'Bulkhead' the toy is largely depends on your own interpretation. * Transformation is more complex and involved than one might expect from looking at it, but not difficult once you get the hang of it. * The arms and legs are largely devoid of obvious hollow spaces. I like that the clear 'energon cannon' has some painted details. * Articulation and posing is quite good for a 'bulky' guy.
