Hulk gets upgraded from his weak old tank form into a... bulldozer? No, wait, that can't be right.... huh. Well, I'll just pretend THIS is initial form, then. Anyways, out of all the Marvel TFs up to this point, this is definitely the most modified and "kiddy" when compared to its real-life counterpart. Honestly, this bulldozer mode is practically a square. The proportions are all out of wack, and frankly looks a little ridiculous. Still, at least the proportions keep Hulk from having obvious Mech mode parts visible in this mode-- if you look at him from the back end, you can see the bottom of his feet components, but that's it. The mold detailing is quite good as well, with panels, rivets, and pipes molded into any large area of plastic on Hulk, for the most part. He also has some cracks all throughout his form, which is indicative of who this mold was originally intended to be (with a different head mold)-- the Thing. The treads in particular have some great mold detailing, thogh unfortunately there's no paint detailing there to bring it out. Even though the paint detailing on this figure isn't as bad as it is on, say, Thor, Hulk could still really use some more paint apps here, like on his pipes or vents. There's a really nice "worn metal" paint app across the bottom of his front, and his front and side windows and headlights are painted in this mode, but that's it. (And his back window isn't painted, to boot.) As far as his color scheme goes, it's classic Hulk-- mostly green, but with a bit of silver mixed in to "robot-ize" things up a bit, and with some purple as well since he's got purple "pants" traditionally (I never really understood why that was...).
    Alright, take Hulk's Mech mode. Crop off too much of it at the sides. It looks pretty good like this! The front grill of the bulldozer makes a nice chest, and generally his proportions are quite well-done, with the bulldozer roof and windows collapsing behind his back and out of the way. His legs also look pretty good, and the upper parts of each are colored to look like he's still wearing his purple shorts. His headsculpt looks great-- in fact, it looks EXACTLY like his tank version's head. I think they actually just directly took that sculpt and applied it to this mold, in fact. Unfortunately, when you include Hulk's arms in the equation... quite frankly, he looks ridiculous. His shoulders don't come forward and up enough in relation to where they connect to the body, so they don't look good in that respect. His shoulder pieces hang out too much from the body, his arms are too long with no elbows, he has big shovel pieces hanging off the back of his fists, and the fists are kinda ridiculous-looking as well, given how big they are. Really, pretty much EVERYTHING about Hulk's arms are absolutely awful. As for articulation, Hulk can move at the neck, shoulders (at two points), wrists, waist, hips (at two points), knees (at two points), and ankles. So again, good articulation... except for in the arms.
    Hulk's bulldozer is the definitely the stinker of the Marvel Crossovers line up to this point (5/10). Although he's got some good mold detailing and a few good design elements, for the most part he's got ridiculous, overly chunky proportions in vehicle mode and utterly stupid-looking, unarticulated, overly long arms in robot mode. Only recommended for completists and the most diehard Hulk fans.
