Transformers Are Still Alive
I just bought the Transformers Animated Bulkhead figure. I love the damned thing. It's my first Transformer purchase in 20 years and I love every plastic joint, wheel, and man boob. I miss the diecast metal pieces and metallic decals my old transfomers had. But Bulkhead won my heart with it's chunkiness and decent transformation complexity.
I'm embarrassed to say that I couldn't figure out how to transform the damned thing. My girlfriend had to give me a helping hand in figuring out the instructions (for shame!). But with some concentrated practice I can now transform from robot to truck and back to robot again in 0.127 seconds (don't ask for a youtube video).
While photographing Bulkhead, I realized I have a man crush on green and silver cyborg/robot type thingees. I gathered my favorites to create a green and silver toy posse led by Mini Gobi Original. But at the very moment I was considering the eventual world domination by green and silver objects of badassery... out came 2 vicious feline monstrosities to upstage their badassery.

I actually bought Bulkhead for my sons birthday last month. I'm getting one for myself as well. This is a damn fine piece to have kicking around. Great colorway as well.

thank's for the link, I was just looking for the amazing re version of this robot and I think muttpop definitively have to make big (25 cm tall) robots and their pilots ( 8 cm tall ) it would be a good set ta have, would take a lot of space in an apertement but nevermind

Boompooper:
I completely agree. A few enthusiasts assert that Beast Wars had a really good story... but I couldn't get past that god awful CGI to watch more than a minute of it. Yuk!
I haven't seen the animated series, but Bulkhead's design is absolutely brilliant. He reminds me of an Army Truck Grimlock (now that was a GREAT character in the original animated series!).
Incredible Tequila. You're right! I have to do a post on that. Thanks for the reminder! We're aiming for the end of the year, but it's going to be tough. Keep your fingers crossed...

That's the Green version of Atomic Mushroom Toys Combat R-Zero figure. You can find out more about the toy here at www.atomicmushroomtoys.com
It's one of my favorite new Designer Toys to come out in the past year.

Thanks. They got jealous of Bulkhead. Vicious beasts... beware!
moltes:
So true. Hilarious!

I love this figure, but I love more the big green robot behind him, what is it ?

I just caught the new Transformers Animated cartoon on TV this past weekend.... I still like the original the best, and this new animated version is better than the Beast Wars CG mess, but it's not bad at all. Bulkhead definitely stands out as one of the cooler characters.
Speaking of cool green things... How come no announcement of the Incredible Tequila!? I'm loving the Incredible Tequila color scheme preview in Issue #5 of Lucha Libre! How long are you going to make us wait for this beautiful new paint scheme??!
