"You guys got it easy. All people want me to do is break stuff. I've got a sensitive side too, you know... ...but breaking stuff is kinda fun. After all, a long road trip, feels good to get out of the car, stretch my legs, and kick some tailpipe!"

The biggest and strongest of Optimus Prime's crew, Bulkhead appears to be little more than a big, dumb lummox at first glance. The second and third glances don't do much to improve that impression. Raised on a backwater energon farm, he joined the Autobot academy to achieve the lofty goal of becoming a lowly space bridge technician rather than a warrior. He also has an unfortunate tendency to break stuff by accident due to his sheer strength and natural clumsiness. He's wrecked major thoroughfares and toppled skyscrapers in his zeal to be helpful; when he gets angry, he's capable of berserker charges that even the Decepticons have learned to respect and fear. His penchant for being a little too eager to please others and getting a little too emotional at times further leads him to act without thinking. Add in a seeming lack of skills beyond "destruction", and it does not paint a pretty picture. But despite all these shortcomings, one is hard-pressed to find a bot with a bigger spark, and he has astounding (if sometimes well-hidden) depths. He hates being thought of as the clumsy brute of the team, which has bred a certain amount of careful forethought and cautiousness. He's endlessly loyal to and protective of his friends, especially his best buddy Bumper and some human allies, even if their impulsive behavior is sometimes annoying. Since coming to Earth, he has discovered a love of art and the urge to express his true feelings through it. He's not very good at it, but he keeps trying anyways. Perhaps most surprising of all is that he is Cybertron's foremost expert in space bridge technology, even though he may not be able to build one himself without accidentally breaking at least half the components. looks huge and menacing, but is actually quite caring and gentle-souled. Though he's neither a brainiac nor a fast runner, Bulkhead is one of the most sturdy members of Team Prime. He's afraid of hurting things smaller and more fragile than him, but his new human friend, Miko Nakadai, has helped him grow past that. He has a low tolerance for jerks and bullies, and is quite happy to let people like that stew in the trouble they've made for themselves, but his better impulses—or at least, needling from those around him—always sway him into helping in the end. For all his sweetness, he's still a Wrecker through and through. Yet, despite participating in several major battles and campaigns, his past career has left some painful psychological scars. Being a part of the Autobot team means you don't have to do the dirty work, and Bulkhead's seen many horrors and friends meet a bad end. Though saddened by his traumatic experiences with the Wreckers, he's joined up with Optimus Prime to end the fight with Megatron, for the sake of all his brothers and comrades.

Bulkhead is actually one of my favorite characters so far ever since his introduction in Transformers Animated and Transformers Prime. So his body designs are based on 100% Animated Bulkhead and 60% Prime Bulkhead. I also happen to mix his aspects on both his Animated incarnation and his Prime incarnation while keeping onto the core idea of being a lovable lug who accidentally likes smashing things, but has a RARE talent for art like I do. I did happen to keep his mac which is still there when readying for battle or for emergency uses. But still, I'm glad that I did it with careful details to get it quite right.

Up next: The NOT-BUMBLEBEE makes his entrance as his own...
