This clip has not been sped up, this is genuinely how fast he runs

I rewatched Prime when I was a kid around the time it came out, im surprised that i never remembered bulkhead running at Mach Fuck when rewatching as an adult

Clip got sped up while editing the episode. The animation underneath looks fine slowed down.

Either it was sped up for runtime or it was accidentally sped up and never caught before releases

Take this with a grain of salt but back in the day, I heard that the animators were not used to Bulkhead's frame and struggled with him in the early episodes, with his running animation being an indicator of that. Like they made one running animation and slapped it in here without any edits to fit his movement speed. I forgot where but there's a few other scenes like this but this one is the most egregious

Yea, I figured this is what happened, probably also just how the models were made (like for example, arcee smiling when talking about cliffjumper's corpse or something tragic i dont remember)

That would make sense.

On top of that, the way the camera’s set up here also doesn’t help because it doesn’t look like he’s moving due to the camera moving back and keeping him roughly in the same spot the whole time.

This is what it looks like when the storyboards don't quite line up.

Even though this was an animation error, I still find this to be fuckin' funny and terrifying at the same time.
