I don't know why, but it doesn't look that bad IMHO. I do, however, own the Hasbro version, and I'm really happy with him. Honestly, I kinda like the darker green of that Takara Bulkhead.

You can actually clip his blades in the modern I just changed them out from my hands way. Or in the way they displayed him at toy fair where he's just holding two knifes like some melee psychopath in a call of duty game. The deluxe ratchet is still pretty cool though.

I have the FE version and in my opinion it's one of the best Transformers Hasbro has ever made. A work of art. The official replacement is... not. It's kind of like showing off Disney's Beauty and the Beast and then only offering Belle's Magical World. I guess they're really aiming this line for younger children. Which is fair enough, they are toys after all. Just like with Disney sequels the kids won't care and will probably even prefer the simplified and more colorful versions without all that complexity. It's just a shame Ratchet never got a spot in the FE (good?) version of the line. Definitely. I have the FE version and in my opinion it’s one of the best Transformers Hasbro has ever made.

The vehicle mode is really nice with that big front bumper. What worries me is the size of the weapon might result in a very teeny Bulkhead.... I dunno, the bot mode is a bit simplified but nice.

Still, I'm really glad I was able to find a FE Bulkhead at retail before its cancellation was announced. Although I'm a bit afraid to play with it now since I won't be able to get a replacement if it breaks. The Cyberverse version is pretty awesome, though.

I'd rather I at least know they're even there at a glance. Yeah, I tried that, but the Japanese toy’s windows are tinted so dark you can’t even see them.
