  • Bulge (Promotional Micron, 2005)
Galaxy Force Bulge doubles as Beast Wars: Uprising Bulge.
A redeco of the Armada Emergency Mini-Con Team member Makeshift, Bulge transforms into a twin-rotor helicopter similar to an Osprey. He has a third weapon mode, turning into double Gatling cannon; a new 5 mm post handle has been glued onto this tail strut so he could be used as a hand-held weapon.
The normal gray version of Bulge (pictured above) was available much later than his teammates, in June of 2005 with the purchase of any Galaxy Force (the Japanese name for Cybertron) toy at any store that was a "TF Station" affiliate in Japan.
The same mold (minus the 5 mm peg) is used by Impulsor, Rotor, and Scythe.
