• Bulge (Micron, 2005)

Bulge was repurposed from Galaxy Force Bulge

A retool of the Armada Emergency Mini-Con Team member Makeshift, Bulge transforms into both a twin-rotor helicopter similar to an Osprey and a double Gatling cannon, with an added 5mm peg unique to this release so he could be used as a hand-held weapon. He was only available in April 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.

An all-white version of the team was also released in March as a JUSCO store exclusive; white Bulge was available with the purchase of Ligerjack (the Japanese version of Leobreaker).

The same mold (minus the 5mm peg) is used by Impulsor, Rotor, and Scythe.
