I figure he'd look more like Roadbuster. A big, heavily-armored tank of a truck. Especially one of the more hulking interpretations, like Sins of the Wreckers.

If they had shortened the legs to make the altmode more like a single axle box truck, I think it would evoke Bulkhead more than Inferno's Bulkhead cosplay.

But, yeah, Roadbuster would probably be a better fit.

If we were retconning Bulkhead into G1 but without the luxury of new molds, i’d go with Trailbreaker. It’s roughly the 80’s equivalent of the Prime altmode, similar parts layout in robot mode as Animated/Prime Bulkhead, hands swap out for a mace or claw hands and it’s suitably chunky. Would need a new head ideally but eh, G1 gonna G1.

I like this except the damn fenders. Bee has to abduct his arms to raise them forwards. Really should have just had them attached to the wheels on his forearms.

This is way too High Moon for my tastes. Looks good mechanically but the Warhammer look's a bit much

I'm happy for the people who liked the High Moon parade balloons, because these are an unapologetic interpretation. I don't want them anyway, so making them more to my tastes would be a waste.

On the one hand, those designs just do not look good in plastic, but on the other hand, if they revisit the FoC Dinobots, I might be interested. Maybe not enough to buy another set of Leaders, though.

Or maybe a Titan-class FoC Bruticus set. Engineer it all together as one instead of having to be split across five Deluxe releases, might be less janky.

I’d be interested in the dudes who don’t get toys annually. Yeah, the combaticons, Dinobots are good. I like Barricade and a lot of the DS only designs as well. Could be convinced to buy a WFC Soundwave less jank than the last one

I like how this looks but I'm at the point where I'm unwilling to start buying new aesthetics and scale for the hell of it, especially at 3P prices. Also, that is an incredibly convoluted transformation considering how the parts layout in robot mode's not all that different from the usual heliformers.

Haslab grandus is a bit of a stretch but they could make a crowdfund for the crowdfund and it might make a third of the goal if things go well.

I don't think the people who are supposed to be marketing ROTB know what the plot is about either.

They didn't have the budget to both pander to 90's nostalgia and to make a Bumblebee sequel, so they half-assed it.

Grandus shouldn't be a Haslab. He should be a big Cyberverse/Rescue Bots/whatever playset. Haslab would want to give him some sort of articulation and that would be a crime.
