| 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. |

Favorite Animated Leader-Class Transformer

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. |
Bulkhead's a Hit

My grandson is 3 and this brought him so much joy. It was the item on his Christmas list. He watched closely as his Dad "transformed" the toy over and over. It was mutually enjoyable and educational because very soon, he was able to work a lot of it himself.
Education benefit: Eye-hand coordination, sequencing, following directions, patience, cooperation.
Working with his Dad-- priceless! |
Holds up well, easy to transform

| 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. |
Great value and much wanted toy

We ordered Bulkhead as a Christmas present for my 3 1/2 year old son. (I know it say for ages 5+, but he's very into Transformers Animated and is pretty bright for his age.) It seemed kind of tricky to transform him at first, but my husband figured it out, and after a couple of times it's a piece of cake. My son can even trasform him by himself.
He's very durable. We have about 6 of the Transformers Animated figures, and he's built very well..never had a single part pop off. (The smaller figures' parts tend to pop off when too much pressure is applied, but they pop right back on.) We are all very happy with this purchase. |
