I own too many of this mold but don't really regret it. It was one of the few things about first-wave Legacy that felt right to the degree that it did. I mean, next to "this wheel we tooled for another bikeformer's configuration can double as a drone pistol thingy, remember, Prime Arcee she used those all the time" and "here's a Bulkhead with very little roundness to him".

The very visible hollowness (and how it goes right up the THIGHS) does it no favors, and I wish at least the redecos had gotten the Motocompo (there's a 3P upgrade kit for it but it's kinda meh). But it really checks off a lot of the boxes for this sort of remake very neatly. Simple but satisfying transformation, everything's solid (until the Crankcase retool, which oddly seems to change how the chest locks together), and the chonk and doorwings make for a good shelf presence.

I love this mould. I know T30 Skids tried new things/matched IDW's take, but between it not being able to actually function as an action figure and it just not scratching that Honda City itch... yeah no thanks. Legacy's take nailed it for me.

I will defend Legacy Bulkhead though. I think that's a great toy.
The issue is that it's a great toy of Bulkhead if he was a G1 character, not Prime Bulkhead. And they probably should have marketed it as such. On the toy's own merits though... I'm a fan.

But yeah. Skids is awesome. I'd buy this mould AGAIN in any colour scheme they wanted to put out. I'm particularly itching for a Reboost.

I agree that Bulkhead's main issue is being released as Prime Bulkhead (I'm less sold on whether "Bulkhead as a G1 character" would've improved it). Otherwise the toy looks to have good heft and presence, and I'm waiting for them to use it as someone who makes sense (passed on both Bulkhead and Breakdown for the same reason).

That chrome star is frustrating me, between cost and the worry of the screws having been effed up irretrievably last time I touched them.

But it looks GREAT.
