Newage Toys, via their Weibo account, have shared images of the color prototype of their H47P Sling Blade (Legends Scale G1-Style Bulkhead).
This is a G1-style rendition of Transformers Prime Bulkhead using a retooled version of Newage H46 Backdraft (Legends Scale G1 Inferno). This design is pretty similar in concept with X-Transbots Bullwark. H47P Sling Blade comes with a battle maze.
See all the mirrored images after the jump and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Got my Bulkhead in today and he is wonderful! I'm loving these Non-G1 characters if they were in G1 releases (such as Barricade as another example). The remolding is really clever and works really well for this character. Great job NA, keep 'em coming!

I like the robot mode on it. The head is small enough that I don't even notice the odd sculpt on it. Just looks like regular bulkhead when it's not a macro shot. However, for alt mode, I don't like the transition area between the cab and the trailer section. I was hoping it would do that thing where it looks way better in hand, but I still just don't like the way it looks. They have those little flaps from the trailer part that cover the gray parts of the arm. I wish they had extended it down more to cover the grey hips too. It seems minor, but it really sticks out to me and makes the alt mode look weird.

Bulkhead is pretty great! I do prefer a stockier profile for him but Newage’s adaption suits him well this time.

My only issue is that my copy came assembled with the wrong shoulder joint for his right shoulder.

Perhaps the Mad Doctor could help with that.

I much prefer the MP scale, but XTB once again laid an egg with their MP Bulkhead, so like it or not, I'll have to go with NewAge.

Just noticed on Show-Z that mine has shipped.

nothing with respect to grapple specifically, more generally the direction in which NA went with the mold.
Newage H46 Backdraft (Inferno) & H47 Grapple
just think they should have made them a tad bigger as i feel they are too small in scale, and i dislike seeing the two round circles behind the clear plastic windshield.
since bulkhead won't be put together with my main group collection, i think i won't be as nit-picky about the scale and i'm glad they darkened the windshield on it.

what’s disappointing about grapple? i quite enjoy him.

i don't know how NA does it. i'm not keen on this mold after my disappointment with getting grapple. but yet here i am prepared to buy this and anxious to get this in hand.

Show-Z asked for balance payment.

Got my shipping notice from BBB! Can't wait to get him in hand!

Would have been cool if they styled the packaging like TFA's boxes, like how they did Barricade in 07-ish looking packaging.

This guy should have come with more tampos. I think I'll wait till he is discounted.
Rewind
Ah poop I was not ready for Bulky so soon. *sighs and opens wallet* Go on then, NA, help yourself.

Please tell me where you’re buying good MP scaled bots for $50. I’d love to shop there.
Also 80% of complaints with the headsculpt could be solved if they just painted the chinstrap green like animated.

Naming this release, "Sling Blade". LOL!

it isn't the ladder that bothered me, but seeing the round "boob" connectors they designed the windshield with.

Or the window is colored and transparent, but there’s no ladder “hidden” behind…
