Painted over the axe, which was surprisingly simple given how easy it is to dismantle. Added a proper bottom to the handle while I was at it.

Metroplex also came with this unassembled unpainted Windblade. They shouldn’t have. No, really shouldn’t have. She doesn’t transform, can’t stand because of her stripper shoes, falls apart on mild handling and would be Kong-sized next to the toys Metroplex is intended to go with. Looks pretty but is trash more or less.

A shame they didn't include Scamper and co. instead
They announced an upgrade pack with Sixgun and car dude. There is a lot of apparent cost cutting with Metroplex so only the tank comes in the base package. I can’t be bothered which one is Slammer or Scamper.
Props to ShowZ. Ordered this guy about two weeks ago and they put hin on sale after that. They contacted me and refunded me the difference as store credit. Toy’s great but the hands suck and I had to paint the terrible mono-pink sword
I bought the knockoff First Edition Bulkhead. Have the original but the gold always looked off and this guy came with a lot of goodies. He’s a less yellow shade of green and has appropriate colors, though aside from the gold lights on the bumper and wheel rims, the paint scheme is identical to the original. Transformation is the same, head is modified with the most effective lightpiping I’ve ever seen. Tolerances are decent but he notably comes apart easier in robot mode than the original, though he does stay intact decently enough for the most part. His shoulders are fine with the wrecking balls and guns but droop if using the bigger accessories.
He comes with two wrecking balls, two blasters, some parts to convert the blasters into a hammer, a Solus Prime hammer and a front and a rear bumper. Also a copy of the Miko minifigure from the first prime multipack. The blasters combine with handle parts to ape the Solus Prime hammer. It’s alright not the greatest fit but gets the job done. Left the bumpers in the box since they partsform and don't do anything in robot mode. Left Miko in the box as well; statues aren't my thing.
Vehicle mode’s unchanged. It can store all the stuff at least
Gave the Solus Prime hammer to Magnus. It uses a 5mm handle but Magnus’s arm design means he can’t hold it very well.

That is really cool. FE Bulkhead happens to be my desk bot today so I have him right here to compare to your pictures. I kind of see what you mean about the green being a slightly different shade. I love the extra accessories the KO comes with.
Yeah, picked up my FE Bulkhead from my parent’s storeroom. His unpaintable gold parts somehow yellowed despite being inside the box but the green’s still the same. Overall, the mold’s great and the knockoff’s a decent way of gaining access.
I have the original Takara verison, back when they were doing different paint jobs to the figures from Hasbro, before the days they decided to "Streamline" things, he is a good figure, of course, when I saw the Legacy verison, I was underwhelmed and disapointed, thou I have gotten a copy of that mold, but it was the Wreck N Rule verison with the camo paint job! Anyway, the FE Bulkhead is a desent figure and the FE figures pretty much paved the way for studio series and a lot of the Generations figures with their transformations
I kept my Takara Bulkhead as my display Bulkhead because the dark green was pretty, accuracy be damned. This one's probably taking his spot though between the better likeness and my primitive monkey brain loving the stupidly effective lightpiping.
This whole set is Toy Art
Someone got pets!! 
Actual hardware or not, I'm into it.
It's an app called RarevisionVHS. It allows you to take pictures and record video as if it was a handheld from the 80s or 90s. Ot even has an option to play around with the displayed date.
