Bulkhead, Bulkhead, Bulkhead...And Bulkhead | #transformers Prime First Edition/APC/AC Toys Bulkhead
My theory is that the reason that they went from the First Edition toys to the RiD toys was that Hasbro believed the FE toys to be too expensive to mass produce, so they made a cheaper toy for mass-market and left the FE’s to a convention exclusive.
Probably general budget cuts
Very likely. They produced a batch, got their budget cut, then rushed out the cheaper toys to have *something* on shelves
That's not a theory, that's what the reason was
Uh no there was a huge budget cut in 2011 and they had to make a cheaper line
I mean... I got my First Edition Bulkhead from Toys R Us. It was mass market, but definitely in short supply. Odds are good you're right about production costs.
The TRUE prime Bulkhead.
Yeah but at least the failure/shortcomings of prime arcee and bulkhead helped the new figures to be lore faithfull
@chheinrich8486 I don't know if I would say the Legacy Bulkhead had any failures or shortcomings, at least not in the sense you mean. It was trying something new and it worked. Taken on its own merits it's a fantastic figure
@@izzik2781 it absolutely failed at being TFP Bulkhead...
The proportions aren't right and the Altmode is completely wrong.
And despite being specifically labeled as a TFP figure.
There is no trace of the TFP style in that figure.
@draconicus1502 apart from the head, the weapon, the colours and the presence. It's not trying to be a 1 to 1 representation of Prime Bulkhead, it's a re interpretation of Prime Bulkhead. You know, how like the majority of mainline figures are?
@@izzik2781 but he should still feel like Prime Bulkhead but it doesn't, it feels like a G1 version AOE Hound with Bulkhead's head on it
I come here mainly for the reviews, but it’s always a treat to see what the beginning adult collect disclosure is gonna be
This FE Bulkhead just looks *_GREAT._* Even with the move-ability problems and discolouration, I adore (and am impressed by) the design.
At first I didn't like the legacy bulkhead because it doesn't look like prime bulkhead but the more I saw him the more I wanted him, and his a really good figure, his look to me looks more like animated the prime, hell even his reaching balls design looks like animated bulkheads reaching ball.
I think it looks good but it's to square for my taste, if it has some smooth round edges in the body it would've been been a bit nicer
same here. I got the legacy one for like $15 because it was on sale, but over the months, I grew to like it.
The legacy bulkhead is basically the animated updated version but with the prime stature as how I see it
Legacy Bulkhead it's just an Optimus Pre-tool, it's garbage to be an Animated update.
I do get to see it from your point of view it just that's the way I see it because it's got the animated vehicle mode because they're both military type of because the prime version was more of a heavy duty truck instead of a sure you can say it was one of those foreign type of Hummers but that's just how I see it but I do respect your opinion on what it says sure it may be a garbage animated but this could be a good way of starting it maybe I don't know yet
@@TheAutobotPowerThat's a bad take and how the f*ck is that supposed to be a Optimus pre tool? It dosen't make any sense and dosen't look or fit as any Optimus at all, Legacy Bulkhead is more of a combination of Prime, Animated and G1 aesthetics and he is a great figure
@@devilbringer1102 I mean I can kinda see how it’s a pretool for an optimus. The legs already go out to the back like primes would and the torso is the front of the truck. I find it stupid that they potentially sacrificed this figure for a retool, like why
@@joshuavis2736 yeah, the Legacy TFP Bulkhead is a pathetic excuse for a TFP Bulkhead.
It doesn't have any trace of the TFP style to it.
Hell, if it wasn't for the head you couldn't even tell it was supposed to be Bulkhead
i think you might like the rid bulkhead more if you had it in hand. it looks bad in the stock photos but i like the way it feels just to hold it. it feels solid as a rock in alt mode and for the most part is solid in bot mode too
I got him as a cheap gift many years ago and people are hating him a lot.. but that’s just what he is, just a cheap bulkhead, he’s still appropriately wide and the moving jaw is so cute. My only complaint are the arms being too long but that’s just his style, and I complete ripped apart the weapon to just have the ball and nice detail on a salvaged peg, tho that was a lucky risk. Also he has a great inner endoskeleton that I just love opening his back to look at
Yeah I’m actually upset he said he won’t get it. I got it on my birthday like 8 years ago, and it’s still my favorite bulkhead toy. It’s not perfect, but its so much better in hand than on photo
None of the rid version of the toys are bad, is just, it was unfortunate that the FE exist
I find it funny that Armada characters are Faithful but Prime and animated get g1 designs
It’s actually kinda upsetting to me. Why can’t we just get accurate looking figures with modern engineering?
I really need a proper spiritual sequel to the prime series. HELL id settle for it just being available on something I can stream!!!
I would've gone for the Japanese sequel like I'm doing with Beast Wars where I'm watching Beast Wars II and Neo instead of Beast Machines, but I haven't heard the best things about Transformers Go
I'm watching it free on UA-cam
I should also say, I got the first wave of AC's Bulkhead KO (which had the inferior hasbro deco), and it doesnt have the same joint problems or yellowing problems
Same with mine and I got him from ShowZ
I get the feeling Hound was originally gonna be named bulkhead in age of extinction
Yea it more fits bulkhead design wise and the beard instead of bulkheads iconic clamp mouth thingy seems like a reasonable translation
Yea budget cuts really killed prime bulkhead. I also got the apc toys bulkhead and man he’s amazing, I’m so glad people can experience the great mold without having to pay 400 bucks for the first edition
I’m surprised the legacy one turned out how it did, in both animated and prime he had long arms with smaller legs and a big torso yet the legacy one does the reverse with long legs and tiny arms. I still love the legacy one but I’m a bit puzzled at its choice
I remember when Toys R Us reissued FE Optimus and Bulkhead. That's how I got mine!
chill with the slander on RID bulkhead 😭 i love that big guy so much
the rid figure is pretty good in hand honestly, in some places even better than first edition,mainly the legs. It sure isn't as good as the fantastic first edition but it's pretty damn good still.
I remember seeing this guy way back (like 10-12 years ago) at universal Studios Singapore. I didn't get FE bulkhead but I got FE optimus prime and I kinda regret I missed out on most of the first edition toy lines. I wasn't familiar with TFP back then.
the RID2015 Bulkhead design is based on the Prime RID toy with some elements of Animated
I absolutely love the toy, the character and the voice Kevin Michael Richardson gave him.
I actually have two of the first edition ones.
More like "Hulkbead" am i right?
I always wanted that first edition one, I only ever saw it once in stores while travelling and didnt grab it!
Legacy is supposed to be G1 inspired because that’s the whole theme of the toy line
It gets tiring when everything is either kids toys or g1 tho(studio series is atleast picking up some of the slack), constant g1 after g1 is boring. Most of us want actual rereleases or updates to these characters
2:48 that's so cool that you have that version of Rampage. I recently read about how he's a Point One Percenter and that his spark is more powerful than a regular bot's. The whole story is pretty interesting but especially because of his connection to and story with Transmutate who deserves way more toys
Something I noticed watching this video-
Legacy bulkhead isn't ONLY based on prime- it's seemingly also based (heavily) on his animated design, especially in the chest and the vehicle mode. My bet on why they said "Prime Universe" is bc of the fact that they KNEW they were doing the animated figures, but wanted them to be a surprise... So that if you wanted to, you could have a g1 stylized Prime team as well as an animated team since bulkhead features in both.
I do hope they give us Animated and Prime Optimus prime and that they finish off both teams-
0:50 I had that as a kid, but I lost it. Damn I miss it so much
You REALLY need to experience the Leader Animated one.
AC and APC Toys are probably different companies seeing as they both have a FE Cliffjumper KO with slight differences between them.
Animated: chunky swat van
Legacy: large military vehicle
Prime: goofy Lamborghini jeep thing
I don't think this is APC, I think it's a separate company, using a similar name. APC still updates their ShowZ page (Cliffjumper comes out soon : D) and the version of this I got (Arms Iron) feels a LOT different than all the previous APC versions. All their figures I've handled are made of really solid plastic (except Arachnid, she feels like a cheap pair of sunglasses) and this one doesn't feel like it. I also remember seeing that APC delayed their bulkhead to work on Arachnid.
It could be a sublime idk cus bulkheads design probably requires more solid plastic due to the nature of his design but u might be right
AC dropped their version of Cliffjumper at the same time but with different color plastic and accesories. I think they are the same company.
I got this guy from ShowZ, and I LOVE IT.
0:05 Missed opportunity to say
*"and it was pretty intest"*
Apc should release their own brawn from this, finally giving us that cancelled gdo brawn figure
Agreed. But also a redo of Rampage with better plastics and a Transmutate to pair with it would cross 2 toys off my bucket list
If the legacy took the whole cab and bent it down for a belly or bent the windshield and grill/headlights outward, then put the doors on top for the chest, I think that would’ve been the perfect bulkhead that fuses all versions of him into one
The first edition Bulkhead is probably my favorite figure from the prime series.
One thing that I noticed that was different on this KO (we besides the almost chromed green and plastic colors) was those leg ratchets. The original I am like 90% sure was just friction. So they added those but didn't calibrate them right. Idk if it's possible to disassemble the hip on this KO mold, but if so you could tighten the ratchet and make him more stable than the original version
I was surprised by my friend today who gifted me an APC Bulkhead, and man I am surprised by the quality. If you told me it was the regular 1st addition, I would believe it.
I absolutely loved this figure and to this day, I’m still regretting the fact that I lost it
quilfire from rid 2015 has the same alt-mode as prime bulkhead
bro the "funni" had me on the ground
Tbh I didn't know legacy bulkhead is based on prime until someone mentioned it, I already get use to it 😅
Rid bulkhead is a good toy! He has a fun transformation, and he looks pretty good in hand. If you can get him for cheap, I’d definitely recommend.
bulkhead pog
also know as
APC
"Arms Iron"
only thing I'd recommend you place in your videos dude
alt names, that the knock offs go by lol.
don't know if its the lighting your using, but mine is a lighter shade of green?
more show accurate
(or mine is one of the really old 1s and faded lol)
all in all great video
thanks for the upload.
Cara quando lançar pega o APC TOYS cliffjumper eu estou esperando muito por esse toy
Definitely getting this 3rd party Bulkhead. I bought the APC Angel Engine (Prime Arcee) and I was legit shocked at how gorgeous the figure looks. I stared at it in awe for way too long 😂
The thing with Legacy Bulkhead is that you have to take it as 'What if Bulkhead had been in G1'. If you take it like that, it's actually a very solid Bulkhead.
Anybody know when apc toys will do transmutate?
What I think happened with the first edition to the RID toys is a result from the complaints from the complex transformation from ROTF assuming they were design before the change
Ya love to see the prime models
That APC Bulkhead is a winner.
To clarify, APC has not released a bulkhead. AC toys has. They are SEPARATE companies competing.
NGL, When i heard Bulkhead's Voice in TFP, I Thought the Patrick VA Had a Stroke lol
I managed to get all of the below from a good will store's eBay listing for $70 USD.
1) Takara 1st Ed Bulkhead w/o Wrecking Ball
2) Thrilling 30 Springer w/o missiles
3) FansProjects Steel Core
It's funny that I actually wanted all 3 figures and knew what they were even though the listing didn't have descriptions about them.
The Core Steel's minibot's hip ball joints eventually broke, so all 3 figures have some sort of handicap now.
The Takara Bulkhead is really nice but yes it also has the knee and small feet issues, and yes, I also hate the RID version.
So this got a lot of discussion when it first game out, but we pretty definitively know at this point that AC Toys _IS NOT_ APC Toys. They're another company who I guess got fed up with APC continuously delaying their Bulkhead KO, and saw an opportunity to beat them to the punch. AC has also now released an FE Cliffjumper right before APC is going to release theirs, and apparently its sufferent from horrific QC issues because they rushed it out to beat APC. They're definitely not the same people.
As for APC's Rampage, it was kind of an outlier in quality, APC has a few earlier releases that are much better. Its also really not _that_ early, its like at the mid point between their first release and today. The only other release they've done that's notably bad was their first Arcee deco, which suffered from extreme amounts of paint chipping
You should get the APC Toys Optimus Prime
Yo! That toy guy! Just went to a Walmart in Kanata and I found a legacy evo skyquake! and dragon megs! I suggest you check your Walmarts a little more often
Funnily enough I love the RID one more XD
My hasbro bulkhead has the same issue with the yellowing of the bicep and hands
This is a very good looking bulkhead.
The only prime figure that outclassed its first edition counterpart was vehicon. The first edition was clumsy in form and function. The prime one was genius in its simplicity.
I can say for certain the issues are due to being KO'd. The hip ratchets on mine aren't nearly so weak (or high pitched, wow that hurt my ears) and the head flips in and out more easily.
I love how all of us have the same question about APC/AC been the same company. I hope they are not, but with what just happened with Cliffjumper, I don't know anymore.
I think the first version of this guy is more accurate in color, this metallic repaint is just too dark to be accurate. I just ordered him (with the other 2 versions of Cliffjumper) just to run an experiment on him: I'll leave him at the sun just to see if the color lightens off. If that doesn't work, I'll just repaint him with the colors that he has in the RID 2014 show so he can be part of my RID collection (I'm doing the same with Soundwave).
The other reason why I'm buying this second version is because of the handle on the hammer. I don't like the Hammer idea but the handle is very accurate to the one on the show. I started collecting APC figures because my original plan was just to make a custom fully transformable First Edition Ultra Magnus and that's it (of course, I was not successfull). So, now I'm doing a couple of Beast Hunters Ultra Magnus customs and there is a 3D version of the Forge of Solus Prime (not very accurate in the handle) on A L I E X P R E S S and when I combine the pieces from both, they look great. I got 2 hammers, so I need 2 handles for my 2 planned custom Ultra Magnus. Oh, and also, I want another wrecking ball (What the hell AC? Why just one?).
And about the RID mold, the legs are more accurate. That's another advantage from the first version: the green plastic on this guy and the RID mold are almost identical (RID is extra shinny) and I combined both figures. With the RID legs, he looks even better and he is shorter so he looks better next to Breakdown.
I bought the attack prime and demonic whisperer for my birthday I had to order them from eBay but its fine and the shipping was free so that's a plus both amazing figures although I'm debating weather to paint the windshields black on attack prime
You should get the APC soundwave, you'll love it
Honestly I always thought that bulkhead was a souped up OC that the guy who made animated created
I believe the wheels did actually snap into place on the official First Edition Bulkhead
The first edition toys WERE meant to be the main line toys for transformers prime, but Hasbro slashed the budget for transformers and they had to simplify the designs radically for a mass release. So the RiD Bulkhead you make fun of, well, he's that way because he was working with a much smaller budget. And it was an abrupt shift, so we should really be thankful the RiD line was as good as it was tbh
Fun fact: Originally bulkhead was gonna be ironhide in prime, but was changed to bulkhead after the movie ironhide was planned to be killed off in Dotm.(Dark of the Moon)
People call me megamind because I have too much bulk in my head
this bulkhead feel identical to the first edition except the green color. its so much darker. and the eyes arent quite the same. no yellow issues with mine or loose issues. i have both so i have compared.
I wish I had this fig
I’d like a toy of his RID15 design to!
really surprised that the round bot forms into that car. i was expecting a round and smooth cybertron altmode, not one that looks like it comes from earth
Based on my experience with three different APC figures vs what I'm seeing here, I'm quite convinced they're different companies. All three of my APC have great joints and color consistency. They also both have a Cliffjumper coming out with different paint, accessories, pricing, and I believe tooling. Seems like quite a hoop to jump through (and a bad business strategy) for a 3rd party company to compete with itself by simultaneously doing two production runs of different versions of the same character
That toy guy, when shall we be graced with Animated lugnut
You mentioned in a previous video that you have quillfire, and during the vehicle mode comparisons I half-expected you to bring it out because quillfire and bulkhead share an alt mode, it's like the same cgi model they've just retextured for R.i.D
He's packed away at the moment cause moving things around but I would have if I had him
If APC Toys makes Wheeljack I'm going to buy it first thing!
The helicopter bulkhead is the first to get the name but it's another case where Hasbro couldn't get Springer as a name. If not for this, they wouldn't have made the throw away name "Bulkhead"
I have that figure and he’s great to have
I've been wanting a good figure of Bulkhead
Violent but awesome
Prime bulkhead was metal as fuck!
Hopefully one day apc will tackle ratchet or better yet PREDAKING!!!
You should try the APC toys Arcee and Black Arachnia
The violence was one of the reasons tfp was one of the best shows
Wait a minute. Studio Series WFC Prime could conceivably work as a Cybertronian Prime Universe Bulkhead (god that's a mouthful). Broad shoulders, wheels in the same positions, an arm that can be replaced with a weapon... I can see it.
Remember when we were all saying Legacy Bulkhead could be an Optimus pretool? Funny how it seems the opposite has some potential, too. Arguably more potential. Would it be show-accurate? No. Would it be game-accurate? No. But it could make up for the Legacy design for people who disliked that one.
How did you get it! I thought it was sold out like everywhere!
I want the FE Bulkhead more than anything in the world
Is this apc toys? It seems like there is a good amount of paint missing like on the cannons the blue glow.
I’m a proud owner of OG FE Bulkhead. :)
Mine doesn't have the yellowing or loose legs so don't let this stop you from getting one
RID Bulkhead isn't bad, but if you really want a good Bulky, just buy AOE Hound.
Damn this a good transformer.
Jeez!
I have a question are the original one still available?
Mine still on shipping, hope its not hv qc issues
Are you going to review Transformers Beast Hunters Voyager Ultra Magnus
There was also the animated leader Bulkhead
says hes not getting r.i.d bulkhead yet he has it in beast hunters form
Ngl. RID bulkhead is actually pretty underrated. Not as bad as it looks. I just wouldn’t use it as a bulkhead is all.
buying this bulks out your head
hey man, haven't I seen you do ratchet repairs before? I thought I had, but I'm not too sure. Anyway, it's stupid easy to fix those ratchets man. Just start pulling out screws around the waste, remember the order and which screws go where. Get a "sprew?" model part frame, that... and find a piece that's flat, like one with a part number or something, and some little snips. Cut to fit, and double it up, with the offending loose ratchet, reassemble, and boom, dunn!
8:31 this is a reference to transformers angry birds
