Open Mic Night: What do you think TFP characters (Autobots, Decepticons, both, either?) would think of TFA Bulkhead if they ever met him?


That is a good question.

Ratchet would adore him, once he realized that Bulkhead is something of a genius when it comes to space bridges. He would immediately invite Bulkhead to help him refine and power up their space bridge.

Miko would be thrilled to have two Bulkheads. Twice the wrecking power! She’d say.

Bulkhead would be fascinated by his double, by how similar they are and yet so different. They’d get along, especially once Bulkhead Animated tells them about Sari.

A!Bulkhead would also be interested in Optimus because his Optimus is so young and uncertain, yet this Optimus is old and wise and restrained. He would feel like he was in the presence of Ultra Magnus around Prime Optimus.

A!Bulkhead thinks P!Bumblebee is different from his Bumblebee because Prime Bee is a bit more responsible and battle-hardened. But Bee loves to talk about his human, and so does A!Bulkhead so they get on well.

Team Prime’s motorcycle isn’t Prowl, but at times, Arcee is just as acerbic. But A!Bulkhead can see through her, to the pain she’s hiding, and in his bumbling but sweet way, he gets her to open up to him. (Miko’s happy, because that means her Bulkhead can now focus more on Wheeljack. She’s totally shipping these two, don’t tell me she’s not. XD)

Of course, the Prime Autobots would be surprised by how very civilian A!Bulkhead behaves because he hasn’t been in war as long as they have. So he’s almost like a novelty.

They all kind of treat him like a sparkling. An innocent that needs to be protected.

As for the Decepticons, they keep getting the two Bulkheads confused. Except Breakdown. He can always tell the difference. He knows his Nemesis. He knows when there’s a fake. ^_^
