I got deluxe Thrash and Prowl, as well as Skullcruncher this weekend.

Skullcruncher is cute and fun. I am amazed he has now ended up in 2 modern cartoons back to back no less.

Thrash is pretty decent, though i still think the warrior is the better toy. This one can pose nicely, but his transformation is a smidge soft and fiddly for the feet in alt mode. Plus he can't actually have a sidecar. But he still works nicely.

Prowl is hilarious, I actually like him a lot more than Hot Rod from Cyberverse. Amazing what better color choices do for a mold. It is still subpar, but it at least looks the part better. I kinda wish he had a new head, but otherwise, its strangely somehow works.

Saw 1 step Breakdown for the first time this morning. Kinda lame that wave 4 is exactly the same as wave 3 except they traded Wheeljack for his barely noticeably different repaint. Surely they could have moved things around better.

Got to mess around with Prowl, this mold really does make a uniquely fun toy that doesn't really work as either a good Hot Rod or a good Prowl, but makes for a nice Checkpoint.

Also, warrior Jawbreaker is still a lovely little guy

His name is still "Thrash". It's just that the Japanese language doesn't have a proper "Th" sound, so it uses "S" sounds to approximate it.

They also use "R" sounds for "L" sounds, so any machine translator is going to instinctively misinterpret "Thrash" as "Slash" since the latter is a more common word than the former.

That’s a great Prowl, the proportions in both modes are spot on for the style of EarthSpark, I hope he shows up in S2 like this. A good mix of cartoony and realistic.

You know what undermines his realism? He's a two-door car. Almost every incarnation of Prowl or Barricade is supposed to be a police car, but has no real back seat.

It would be perfect if they included the blast effects which are really, REALLY good.

Apparently in Japan Fire and Police commanders use sports cars that are only two-door. I guess Prowl and Barricade were based on the vehicles of higher-ranking officers.
