Bulkhead is so damned bulky it'll seriously hamper his poseability but he looks good. Prime looks amazing.

Both of them look solid. This Bulkhead looks much better than the Voy Ani version.

Bulkhead isn't lookin too bad. Both his modes are pretty good. He's a little too round for me in as far as to what i normally like aesthetically in a figure.

Makes me want a Breakdown even more now. I'm waiting patiently for his figure. It'll be sweet, i just know it!

Damn, Bulkhead is gonna be one of them TINY voyagers! So long as he isn't insanely small it should be fine, I can see why he's as small as he is though, most of his bulk (haw) is in his torso, and it seems to compact alot in there in order to give him the proportions of the cartoon version. The vehicle mode is probably going to end up taking up more space than the robot mode is!

Posted by Requiem Prime on November 8th, 2011 @ 3:15pm CST

Very pleased. This Bulkhead holds up well next to Voyager Prime, so scale shouldn't be an issue.

Once again the Prime line does not dissapoint. Bulkhead is a definite must, and I may have to pick up Voyager Optimus as well. At the rate this is going I may have to pick up the whole line!

Prime's not as sexy as I initially thought, but still pretty decent. Something about the way his waist swivel looks is pretty weird. I'll get him though. Unless they're planning a better one later...

Bulkhead is totally rad. Him and CJ are probably my most-wanted.

What a let down, that Voyager Optimus is horrible,

What's Hasbro's deal with not painting rims? That alt mode is by far the blandest of all Optimus voyagers. The Deluxe has more colors, this makes it just baffling.

Does First edition mean they will improve upon them later? If so, I'll consider that Optimus again later.

Yeah his waist is sorta off counter, probably for transformation.

I'm pretty sure that the First Edition dudes are the same as the later ones, your best bet is to wait and see what the TakTom Voyager Prime'll look like, which is probably what I'll do. :-?

As some other posters have said, I really prefer deluxe OP to voyager! The paint apps in alt mode are nicer and the bot mode of the deluxe looks so much more in proportion. Bulkhead looks very tempting though. I must resist, otherwise I will end up with all the tf-prime figures before I know it

Eh i dunno, paint apps are indeed better but voyager just seems a cooler figure. If i get both, maybe ill display deluxe as orion pax and voyager will be optimus post-matrix or something, i dunno

Not really, I mean like, the Voyager's proportions are way more accurate to the show if you ask me, but it's true that the Deluxe's paint apps are better.

I agree that he does look more show accurate with his bulky torso. But he also looks like he's on the 'roids! The head sculpt is very neat, actually

Aww crap look at Bulkheads chest :shock:

Bulkhead looks pretty cool, but I honestly think I prefer the deluxe-sized Optimus over the voyager.

Maybe its the lack of paint on the wheels or something, but the voyager Prime's vehicle mode looks cheap and bland. Also the robot mode of the deluxe class looks much more proportional than that of the voyager-sized Prime.

The deluxe is more traditionally proportional, yes, but if you've seen the show, Prime is very bulked-up like the Voyager. It's pretty accurate in that way.

One thing I have to say which makes any of the flaws seem insignificant is that Prime is still leagues better than any of his DOTM molds.

The Optimus Prime is okay, I guess. I'll still get it for my OP collection.

But DAT BULKHEAD... WOW! I can't wait to have my hands on this pure bundle of awesome!

I agree. I don't even see the debate between the deluxe and the voyager. The Voyager TF: Prime OP just ripped the face off of the deluxe Prime and all of the voyager versions from the films IMO.

Bulkhead looks fantastic as well.

Both are extremely good looking toys. Voyager Optimus makes buying the Deluxe completely out of the question for me. But are you kidding me -- the Deluxe has silver wheels and the Voyager does not? What the hell?! And now I have to worry about the US release missing even more paint apps.

You people are so picky.. :roll:

so go ahead and pass on a very accurate prime

anyway that Bulkhead looks awesome as well!! :grin:

you're crazy. the deluxe doesn't even hold a candle to the voyager. it's like night and day. pretty much everything that the deluxe does, the voyager does better. the chest alone should make people want the voyager over the deluxe.

Agreed the voyager has blue clear plastic windows on his chest unlike the blue paint on the deluxe.. :lol:

That Voyager Prime is looking fine to me, and while the truck form I'll admit is a bit lackluster, it's still okay, and the bot mode's mold looks great in my opinion, regardless of missing paint. This is just food for thought, but don't completely rule out the possibility last minute paint apps, no matter how minor. Leader Prime for RoTF appeared to have the shoulder finials red for the longest time right up to its release, but they were changed to a proper silver right before it was put out.

...which almost made it look sillier next to all the unpainted gray that should have been silver. I would definitely not hold my breath for more paint apps when stores here get them. Even in the example you give, you're talking about a separate piece, which makes it easier for them to paint. On this toy, it's more detail work.

I'll be painting the wheels on mine for sure. Maybe the grill while I'm at it. I'd love to paint the fake chest around the windows, but I think it will probably be too much of a pain in the neck to mask off and bother with. Maybe the stacks, depending on what kind of plastic they are.

Or maybe the Takara release will have those things painted, in which case, I'll just get that.

Dual guns I don't care about but I would like to see dual swords. I also like the fact that it looks like he has a nice trailer hitch. *holds breath for 3rd party trailer and bonus swords not made out of soft plastic.

Ugh, I find myself as the minority more and more. The chest sections of these Prime figures all look terrible. BB, Deluxe Prime and Bulkhead just look strange with the big panel chests.

Thankfully my sons are not into Prime as much as they were Animated, so I won't be buying much of this, if any at all.

I'd be perfectly willing to buy all the ones I end up being interested in off the internet. In fact, that's kind of likely to happen.

Luckily deluxe bots like BB seem pretty small, so even if Bulkhead is kinda small, he should still scale well.

I already buy most my figures off the internet it really wouldn't bother me at all. However, you are going to be able to get these at regular retail. The "First Edition" figures are going to see a limited market release, but they will be available. Then when the full line hits they will be clogging retail shelves like any other line.

For those who are wondering about Bulkhead's height, he's supposed to be shorter that Optimus. Optimus and Ratchet are the two tallest of the five Autobots in the show.

Re: Transformers Prime First Edition Voyager Optimus Prime and Bulkhead Images (1310245)
Posted by stk on November 9th, 2011 @ 2:17am CST

I just noticed: I think I actually like this Voyager OP a little more than the animation character model, thanks to how the chest windows angle forward in the middle. The window-chest of the animation model often (though not always, I guess) seems more flat, and I never liked that about it.

On a side note: If they do a new mold for the later wide release, I hope they do a version with a mouth.

I can see some definate transformation simularities between the deluxe and voyager primes, not just the legs either. kinda like mp10, they took what they had already and made it better.

On the internet purchases, very true.

Prime won't be available in The Netherlands I think, we didn't see any generations. Never ever had reissues. So yeah, I think I'll buy the entire line online with killer shippingcosts :s.

Voyager Prime looks pure win, Bulkhead is fine. All of the figures so far are 7/10 or higher in my opinion.
Can't say the same for DOTM, give us Leader Megatron and Leader Shockwave. I can't stand these huge size inaccuracies.
