Series / Number: 01 / 004

Takara ID number: AM-10

Accessories: Cannon/wrecking ball & battle ram (Hasbro only), "B.H.” Arms Micron (TakaraTomy only)

Part of the second wave of Prime: Robots in Disguise Voyager Class toys, Bulkhead is a new, smaller mold. He now comes with a "battle ram” and a half-translucent cannon with a fully translucent wrecking ball on top, both of which can be mounted (via 5mm posts) on either his roof/back, arms, or hands, with both weapons also featuring an assortment of 5mm peg-holes. The cannon can transform into a spinning wrecking ball that’s illuminated by a red LED as a sort of "Energon glow”, and as with other Robots in Disguise Voyager Class toys, the deployed weapon cannot lock into place. Interestingly, the mouthplate on his face is a separate, jointed, unpainted piece that can flip up to cover his face. Unfortunately, he lacks the lower half of his face, so there’s nothing to see there.
His prototype stock photography lacks the Autobot symbol that’s on his right shoulder-pad in the final product. His instructions also incorrectly show his completed vehicle mode’s bumper with his crotch flap still flipped up, and they also neglect to mention that his door windows/shoulder pads can open up to help cover his shoulders.
Part of the third assortment of TakaraTomy Prime toys, the Japanese release of Bulkhead is cast in metallic plastic, features painted rims, and drops many of his other paint operations in favor of customer-applied foil stickers. He also has 5mm post-holes added to his vehicle mode doors as part of the Arms Micron gimmick. Instead of either of the accessories from the Hasbro version, he instead comes with his Arms Micron partner, B.H., who transforms into a larger version of Bulkhead’s wrecking ball, though with a short plastic chain with handle on one end, emulating Animated Bulkhead’s cable-tethered wrecking-ball weapon.
This mold also served as the basis of the non-toy Beast Wars: Uprising incarnation of Cryotek. This figure’s design also served as a basis as Bulkhead’s new appearance in the Robots in Disguise 2015 cartoon.
