Oh snap! Is his head crest red? This could be the Animated Prowl I've been waiting for!

Now watch it be an $80 exclusive.

I want you. I need you. I must have you. Even if it's over Mach's dead body.

Oh hot damn. That is one fine cyberninja. :O

Takara, I have already given you the better part of my disposable income! Won't you please have mercy!

Nice, but I'd only be tempted by repaints that represent something from the show, like all-chrome Ironhide or rusty Rodimus Minor. (Please?)

And with "Dreadwing", no plans to slap G1 Mindwipe's colors on him and call his drone Vorath? And what might they repaint Seaspray and Breacher into? A G.I.Joe crossovers Killer Whale and VAMP?

Just redeco them in Joe colors and call them Cutter & Clutch. I'd buy that.

That would be so, so sweet. I appreciate the G2 homage though. I don't especially like the colours or plan to buy it but I like the homage.

That Prowl looks fantastic. Too bad it's not Samurai Prowl.

I so called that Mindwipe and Skystalker repaint when we first heard of their combining!

I bet you did. Fortunately, he's a G2 homage, not a G1 one, so he's skipped. Though the blue looks really tempting... *scoots closer and sniffs it*

Will you still be saying that after the 2010 Botcon exclusives hit ebay?

The Prowl looks good, but I can live without it. The Smokescreen & Dreadwing look damned good. Smokescreen looks just so cute. I guess i'll probably cave on these just like i'm beginning to cave on movie Banzaitron.

by **BattleRoller23** » Wed Jun 23, 2010 6:24 am

I want all 3......... NOW.

I think I might need that Dreadwing...

lol@me

News Credits: 241 · by **Jelze Bunnycat** » Wed Jun 23, 2010 6:53 am

Mach, I found an error for you:

- The Mindwipe repaint is Smokescreen
- The Skystalker repaint is Dreadwing

Odd, it should have been the opposite.

News Credits: 12 · by **GuyIncognito** » Wed Jun 23, 2010 6:57 am

I'd love to have that Prowl, with its homage to the classic black & white look. But I have no interest in Dreadwing & Smokescreen; I love Mindwipe and Skystalker and I don't think any repaint can top them.

Hmmm not much into animated line, but Prowl does look good and Dreadwing and his minion do look nice, but NO REPAINTS!!!!!!! if i can help it.

Yes, u r right. I didnt notice the arrow pointing towards the toy when i news it. News article changed, thanks for the shape eyes!

Mindwipe looked Soundwave-esque before (especially the Cybertron version), and the blue makes him seem even more Soundwavey. Skystalker would make a mean Ratbat if he was painted purple.

I was hopeful for a dreadwing/Smokescreen repaint myself, way not to let me down for once, TT. Here's hoping for some Reprolabel wing stickers.

The Prowl I can live without.
