Bulkhead is also making his debut in the Deluxe Class featuring Roadbuster inspired new paint job. Check out the images mirrored below.

As you know by now, Optimus Prime is a G1 repaint of the Energon leader while his drone limbs recieve some nice paint as well. Omega Supreme is retooled from his Energon incarnation with G1 features including claw and head.
Okay folks we have a bit of a rarity here, an interview with Transformers Generation 1 Season 5's Tommy Kennedy. Many of you may not be aware, but a 5th season of Sunbow's Transformers Generation 1 did air in 1988. It was a retrospective season comprised of reruns from the original series and The Transformers: The Movie cut down into five episodes. The only original content to come out of Season 5 were live action bumpers featuring a stop-motion/animatronic Powermaster Optimus Prime talking to a young boy named Tommy Kennedy. The episodes played out as if Powermaster Optimus Prime were telling a stories to Tommy.
After season 5 Tommy Kennedy virtually disappeared from the fandom, all that was known is that he was played by the child actor Jason Jansen (Jankowski). After all these years he's turned up and was recently interviewed by the Digest My Brain blog. Click here to read the full interview.
Here's a YouTube clip from the Seibertron.com channel featuring some of the bumper footage.
If you were a fan, how did it feel “talking” to Optimus Prime? Did they have a crew member say his lines off camera to help with timing or was Peter Cullen’s voice prerecorded?
When saying my lines (if i remember correctly) there was mix of things that were going on. At times someone off camera would recite Optimus Primes lines, but I believe it was a member of the crew and not Peter Cullen. Other times, if the scene was shorter and the camera cut away, I would just pause my lines while saying them to account for another voice to be inserted later. I actually just read through the transcripts on the wiki and remember saying every single one of them – I was able to memorize quite a bit – but I my memory serves me correctly I believe I definitely had some large cue cards up there behind the cameras as well. They were color coded to help break up the lines.
Optimus looked great – up close you could tell it was made from wood and plastic, but it was a real dam good job. A little bit of info, we had two puppeteers working Optimus Prime. I believe one guy was inside his head and moving his mouth while another moved his head from side to side. One of the guys was a famous puppeteer and had worked on Sesame Street inside of “Snuffalupagus” not sure if I have spelled that correctly. I remember he was known for his work.
Fans of Bot Shots noticed an image of a new Bot Shots set that was revealed earlier in Robotkingdom's newsletter. Not a whole lot is known about this set at this time but the picture reveals the set includes a new Optimus Prime mold, an unknown Decepticon figure, two launchers and a spinning dragon pit. While the package doesn't sport the name Beast Hunters, it is clear that this set is at least Beast Hunters inspired.
