We got our first glimpse of this mold at last year's SDCC, though at the time it was labeled Skyquake. We recently learned that Skyquake had been dropped in lieu of his twin brother Dreadwing for Transformers Prime Voyager Series 3. Check him out in full color below.

Guess I'll be going to 3rd party stuff for proper weaponry though.

I am not sure about this Bulkhead though...

BTW, this is Voyager Wave 3? What was Wave 2? Am I missing something here?

Series two adds Starscream and Bulkhead. Series three adds Dreadwing.

You don't actually HAVE to use the big doofy guns.
I don't plan to.
And yes, that version of Bulkhead looks like a cheap KO compared to the FE.

Not because my love of everything transformers has lessened mind you... no sadly it is because Hasbro literally sucks.

Only to discover that not only was i not going to see a FE Optimus and Bulkhead... but that i would see the shelves stocked with completely inferior cheezy options instead. No Hasbro i do not want your toys with clear plastic forearms and gimmicks. i too am from the camp that believes a toy that can change from a vehicle to a robot and back again is gimmick enough. Seriously these figures you released here look like they suffer from some sort of cybertronian cancer growth... take a good look at those vehicles..... your kidding right? Robots in disguise?? im sorry but if i saw a vehicle coming at me with that type of ?weapon?.. i am usually not one for a loss of words but i have nothing even coming to my mind that would describe that abomination. Your effort in the FE reveals that you are looking to cash in on the gimmickry here with this RID line... and i for one am not game. my money is Transforming and rolling out..
Totally agree.

Wow serious dude? I mean I get the whole FE/RiD thing like how RiD Bulkhead and RiD Prime looks like a knock-off compare to their FE counterpart but I fail to see how the hell Voyager Dreadwing is a fail. Just cause they fail to make some toy that you like doesnt mean that they suck. The TF fan community consist of more than a million people and EACH ONE of them are different. Do you really expect ONE company to satisfy all your needs? If you want transformers your way then create them yourself. You should thank Hasbro that they still continue making TFs even though they know there are some people like you out there.
Secondly... "I'm sorry but if i saw a vehicle coming at me with that type of weapons?" You do know that those weapons are able to DETACH right? You dont have to keep them if you hate them. Throw em away if you want to. It wont affect the main figure at all. Next time try to give a valid point kay?
Lastly...You do know that those weapons dont really affect the main figure right? That means even if they give RiD Bulkhead smaller and normal looking weapons the main figure wont suddenly turn into an awesome figure like some sort of magic. Again...Try to give a valid point next time.
On topic...That Dreadwing looks awesome. I cant wait to get him when it's released .

Trivia: apparently in Chinese, Starscream's name translates to "Star of the Sky King" aka Uranus. Inset inappropriate jokes pertaining to ones rear end about the line here.

But, seriously, Bulkhead, when your weapon is bigger than your alt-mode...you may have issues.

My thoughts as well.

Yeah, this line is just screaming for 3rd Party weapons. It would be cool if somebody did them all in one pack for like $30 or something. Or, choose your own combos!

I agree, but some have shown that they have good weapons, like Wheeljack (although he needs a couple of different things too). Although those "powerizers" are desperate.

I like the look of Dreadwing there, but that Starscream and Bulkhead look crap. Well, Starscream looks allright, but god damn is that weapon HIDEOUS! Deluxe DOTM Starscream's mechtech weapon is much better.
I'll just shell out to get FE Bulkhead from somewhere.

Series two adds Starscream and Bulkhead. Series three adds Dreadwing.
Oh well, hopefully that means more Dreadwing in a case.

Onto the others, Bulkhead is an undecidable for me. I like his vehicle mode, but the robot mode and weapons are quite shabby. Should I get him, I'll get the Arms Micron version, as it's slightly cheaper than the FE version, and the prototype pics of the Micron look good. Starscream is a pass. If I get him, I'll get the 2-pack version, as it's scale accurate and I also like that paint scheme. I also prefer the FE 'Bee, and that color scheme is reminiscent of the Overshield from WFC.
