Furthermore, Masterson, now referring to himself as " The Headmaster", appears on air, demanding a ransom of 700 billion dollars to be delivered personally by Professor Sumdac, or else he will overload the plant, thus destroying the entire state of Michigan.įaced with this diabolical threat, Prime concocts a plan to outwit the Headmaster.

Checking the news broadcast, Bumblebee and Bulkhead see that the body, now under full Headmaster control, has stormed the Detroit Solar Fusion Power Plant. All of these factors become moot, however, when Bulkhead, who has in the meantime commandeered the luckless Tutor Bot's body to complete his painting project, begins to sense and react remotely to his stolen body's actions. Meanwhile, the police investigation, at Professor Sumdac's request, follows the trail of the body to Masterson's lab, where they find residual traces of Bulkhead's Cybertronian energy, but no signs of the body's current whereabouts. However, 'Bee manages to set the resulting sculpture on fire, then tries to incorporate Bulkhead's head into the art itself, which convinces Bulkhead that acquiring a body of his own should be his top priority. After taking the opportunity to belittle Bulkhead for his newly diminished stature and use him as a bowling ball, Bumblebee agrees to help Bulkhead create more art pieces for his gallery show. Having brought Bulkhead's head safely back to headquarters, Prime, Ratchet and Prowl depart to assist the police investigation, leaving the bodiless Bulkhead, much to his annoyance, in the care of the not-wholly-sympathetic Bumblebee. The hottest thing to hit the art world in years! He retains consciousness just long enough to see the Headmaster unit fire its metal-cutting laser and to hear a soon-to-be familiar proclamation of "TOTAL OWNAGE!!" When he awakens, he discovers, to his considerable distress, that he is nothing more than a disembodied head, with his body nowhere to be found. Indeed, moments later, Bulkhead is trudging alone down the darkened streets of Detroit, lamenting over his artistic difficulties, when he is suddenly incapacitated with a shock to the chestplate.

As he does so, he focuses in on an image of Bulkhead on the TV and hits upon his solution. Deciding that he will instead create his own company to manufacture Headmasters, he formulates a plan to acquire the two things that will make his "wicked-sick" dream a reality: large amounts of cash and a body big enough to support a Headmaster. Masterson, meanwhile, has returned to his lab to brood over his rejection, using Headmaster units to convert warbots into ersatz Rock 'Em, Sock 'Em Robots to ease his frustration. As such, Sari's sudden declaration that she has arranged an exhibition of Bulkhead's creations in a real art gallery goes down poorly the sensitive artiste has a panic attack and bolts. He remains acutely self-conscious of his own heavy-handedness, however, and continues to express embarrassment both about himself and his artwork.
After some false starts and a violation of Detroit's graffiti laws, and despite the slight bemusement of his Autobot colleagues, Bulkhead gradually gains a tentative grasp of basic painting and sculpture skills. Sensing that the gentle giant might benefit from a creative outlet for his sensitive, emotional side, Sari decides to introduce Bulkhead to the concept of art. His success is offset, however, by the destruction he himself causes in the process, including the totaling of the unfortunate News Bot, to the distress of innocent onlookers.īack at Autobot headquarters, Sari and Bumblebee attempt to console a downcast Bulkhead, with varying degrees of success and sincerity. Speeding into action, he reaches the missile ahead of the other Autobots and destroys it before it can impact. Having accidentally ripped off News Bot's arm midway through his interview, Bulkhead is fortunately able to excuse himself from his press commitments when Prime radios in to tell him to intercept the missile heading for downtown.
Bulkhead hopes it will clear up misunderstandings about his large and intimidating appearance, but it's going rather less well than he might have hoped. Meanwhile, in the city centre, Bulkhead is in the middle of a different kind of interview: a televised streetside one-to-one with the sensationalist News Bot.
