Thread of Thoughts, Questions (and Maybe Even Answers) That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

[wonko the sane?]

I didn't even know this thread existed, but it's perfect right now.

I've got the legacy bulkhead: do you all think he would fit reasonably well with the animated figures? I've been tempted to drag him out to finish out the team since we likely won't see more animated figures (even though we should.).

We just got Ratchet released, and Lugnut is coming.

REALLY hoping for a good dual-rotor helicopter Animated Megatron sometime down the road.

ooohhh... lugnut. I loved the toy and the character.

But seriously, thoughts on legacy bulkhead fitting in?

And I'm holding out hope for an Animated Sentinel, even if they have to rebrand him.

He's the biggest departure from the Animated version of the recent releases. He fits in OK, but I personally keep my Legacy Bulkhead on my G1 shelf as a theoretical G1 version of the character with original Animated Bulkhead on my Animated shelf with a mix of original and Legacy-era figures (I never completed a set back in the day due to having very little disposable income, so I didn't have an Optimus or Bumblebee or most of the Decepticons or tertiary characters.)

Animated Animated or Legacy(etc.) Animated?

Animated designs were more curvy, so he might stand out a little bit.

He'd probably look great w/ the Legacy/AOTP releases.

(Also - he looks cool with Legacy Prime Arcee and Knockout and the Sideswipe clones.)



I loved Animated. Great series, cool toys. Never had very many, though, for $$ reasons, and I only kept a few when I had to slim things down a little bit.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Yeah... he's way too blocky to put on the shelf with the updated animated stuff...

There was only five autobots in the core group for animated, why did they skip bulkhead?!?!

 

[Sabrblade]

Legacy Bulkhead is meant to be Prime Bulkhead, whose head is different from Animated Bulkhead.

Though, Mark also admitted that he took more visual inspiration for Legacy Bulkhead's body from AOE Hound than any actual version of Bulkhead.

I'm pretty sure that they consider Legacy Bulkhead "close enough" to not need to do an Animated Bulkhead, but I wish they would. He deserves a round stumpy-legged toy. The original Animated Voyager was such a good toy, but needed to be larger. I never had the Leader version, so I don't know how those two compared.

I mean, so too does Prime Bulkhead.

The Leader version was a good large toy. Nice, chunky, and round, as Bulkhead should be.
