Bulkhead

**Bulkhead** (バルクヘッド, *Barukuheddo*), is a main fictional character and one of the alien protagonists of the *DC* series. He appears to be huge and menacing but is actually quite careless and gentle souled. Though he's no brainiac nor a fast runner, Bulkhead is one of the most sturdy members of the Autobots. 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 Autobots' black ops team means you 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 in hopes to end the fight with Megatron, for the sake of all of his brothers and comrades.

"*After a long road trip, feels good to get out of the car, stretch my legs, and kick some tailpipe!*"

—Bulkhead on crushin' Cons.

## Personality

Bulkhead is a rather nice and peaceful Autobot, though most known for his lack of intelligence. Making up for it, however, is his complete and utter strength, being seen as a powerhouse on the Autobot team on Earth. He is better at breaking things than repairing them, which he as proven time after time and is often useful. He knows to follow under Optimus Prime's leadership, which made Bulkhead depart from the Wreckers to join up with Optimus as he believed that Optimus could end the war with the Decepticons.

Bulkhead's temper can increase dramatically if his opponent, like Lugnut, comments negative feedback to mess with Bulkhead's emotions. In *Operation: Rundown*, Rundown and Bulkhead engaged each other during their first fight where Rundown mentioned paying Miko a visit after he was done finishing with Bulkhead. This provoked Bulkhead to attack Rundown more, only to enable Rundown to get the upper hand in the fight. In the end, Bulkhead had won a rematch with Rundown after he was willingly convinced by Miko to save Rundown from M.E.C.H..

Besides his anger, Bulkhead is very friendly, loyal, caring, fun, and protective Autobot, who also seems to also like Slash Monkey, partying, and giving warm welcoming hugs when he sees his fellow Autobot friends, like Wheeljack and Arcee. Bulkhead usually breaks Ratchet's tools, and Ratchet would respond by stating "Bulkhead I needed that!!" Bulkhead is quite clumsy at times, but he is very bold and kind warrior inside and outside of his spark.
