If I'm getting that Bulkhead mold, it's not due to show accuracy, so the camo paintjob is actually kind of tempting as it makes him look more like he's a unique concept and not this weird, unsatisfying attempt at G1ifying a Prime figure.
Overall, it's not perfect; waist swivel is in a weird spot, needs a couple of additional paint apps and I don't like how she's almost 100% shellformer. The backpack kibble doesn't look quite as bad compared to the original figure though. (Just bad in a different way) and this is the first G1...
