Bulkhead (G1)

Bulkhead (バルクヘッド, Barukuheddo) looks huge and menacing but is actually quite careless and gentle souled. Though he's no brainiac nor a fast runner, Bulkhead is quite a talented engineer (a tech training he received from the Cybertron's Engineering Guild), an early supporter of Optimus Prime and one of the most sturdy members of both Autobots and Wreckers.

History
Four million years ago, on Cybertron, Bulkhead was sent on a mission with Bumblebee and Wheeljack to search for any available energy that could be found on the drained planet. The trio located some energy conductors, and Wheeljack transformed into his boxy vehicle mode so that Bumblebee could load them up, even though Bulkhead didn't believe they would last a quartex. On the return trip to the Great Dome in Iacon, the pair were attacked by a team of Decepticons, but Wheeljack was able to break through their barricade of fire using his bumper-mounted cutting blades and then Bulkhead help them eluded their pursuers by heading underground. Despite their successful return with the conductors, Optimus Prime decided to expand the search for energy to other planets. Bulkhead was among the Autobots selected to embark on this mission, but in mid-flight, the Autobots' spacecraft was attacked by the Decepticons and crashed on prehistoric Earth, entombing all aboard in stasis.
