    Bulkhead quickly became, and remains to this day, my daughter's favourite Transformer - precisely because he was, at the time of "Animated", brand new. He wasn't one of "Daddy's Autobots" but was new to things, just like she was, and that made him special :-) So the big guy will always have a soft spot in my heart, too. Plus, he's terrific.

      I think it also helped that we really got to understand Ani Bulkhead in a deeper way than a lot of cartoon "big guy" characters. He seemed to be driven by a desire for acceptance: his attempts to "play nice" with the constructicons, his fear of his art/creations being worthless, and even perhaps a desire to prove himself to Sumdac and others when strongarmed into working on Megatron's space bridge.
      A really great example of transformers' giant alien robots getting some incredibly human characterization.

I'd describe the former as a top heavy, more intelligent Patrick Star, and the latter as a caring, headstrong jock. I hope this guy appears in another "Transformers" show in the near future.

    As an add-on to Energon Bulkhead, his Japanese name was "Sprung", which is Springer's Japanese name. A lot of the more random Energon-era name reuses match up a little better when you look at their non-dub names. Not much better, but at least the designs tend to look right.

    Bulkhead was a easy character for me to emphasize with what with having physical traits similar as him. (Really big, clumsy, and the tech specialist on the family).
    I almost thought you might mention Bayverse Hound looking similar to Bulkhead which I think needed a bit more character.
    He's in my top twenty bots I love and I hoped Bulkhead and Strongarm would appear in Cyberverse but sadly nothing.

      They need to be careful about it though, just shoving in a new character won’t make something better especially if they are not well written or they end up sacrificing older characters to not hog up all the time for a character nobody cares about. That was essentially what “Transformers the movie” (the animated 80s one). They killed off most of the old characters (Including Optimus Prime) to make way with new ones and everyone was upset by it.

    Energon Bulkhead might be my favourite. His hip-wiggle cannons crack me up every time I see them. I may have rewatched that one second clip at 1:22 about four times before finishing the video. There was a lot I didn't like about Transformers Animated, but I got a soft spot for Bulkhead in that one. Prime's Bulkhead should be my favourite, but those hip guns, man, those hip guns!

    Prime Bulkhead struck me more as the awesome doting big brother football lineman who lived to just plant opponents into the turf while caring for the safety of others. His interactions with Miko almost always helped carry the show for me. Honestly, of the three partnered bots, I liked Arcee and Bulkhead with Jack and Miko more than Bee and Raf, simply because I found all four to be better fleshed-out, more dynamic, and better written characters.
