Not Prowl. Brawl.

gaddangit. I just had to clear space for Menasor and Superion. I even thought I wouldnt pick Defensor up to save space for the eventual Bruticus...now after seeing these...dang it. Need more shelves.

But Streetwise's chestplate looks like Prowl's car front chest design.

Not Prowl. Brawl.

I think he's thinking of the eventual recolor wave that will have Sunstreaker and Ironhide. I think Prowl is supposed to be in that wave.

I honestly dont know if Rook will be Prowl. I thought It would be Dead End honestly.

He would make a decent Brawl though.

Welp...I REALLY like Rook now.

Interesting that he has the Autobot insignia on his forehead. How many other Transformers have insignias on their head? The only one that comes to mind is Beast Wars Rhinox, with the Maximal insignia.

And indeed Transmetal Cheetor as well. He even got to use it as a G1-style scene bumper.

Apparently Rook plays for the Dallas Cowboys....

Reminds me of UFO Diapolon. And he looks mean and buttkicking good!

If Hasbro wanted to give the Combaticons a fifth limb member then give this guy a new head and swords to stick in his wrist holes and I'll be more than happy to call it a G1-style Wreckage figure.

He also looks so much better with his foot/fist on top as his primary alt mode weapon, the same way Alpha Bravo and Blades are best with the part acting as landing gear.

That is a nice figure.

I was thinking Gundam Maxter, the all American football playing/boxing/surfing/cowboy-ing bot.

would be nice if there was a way to attach groove to rook in combined mode. that way it could look like the G1 arrangement was still there

What the hell is that ???

A metal handlebar mustache ?

A savage nose piercing ?

Rooks face looks awful... :SICK:

He very well could be the next Alpha Bravo...

Well it has it's own unique appeal.

Rook looks like it has the same integrated weapon/limb ability as 3/4 of the deluxe Stunticons. I'd have to see under the limb to be sure.

A face guard for a face made out of titanium ? Maybe that's what Hasbro was going for, but to me it looks more like a robot version of this:

Rook's nice and I can see him being used as the base for both Brawl and Nosecone.

Rescue Bots Chase (original toy, the cartoon model removed it from his forehead badge).

Tarn from MTMTE wears the Decepticon symbol as a mask, if that counts.

Man, Rook looks awesome. He's wearing a helmet, he's big and buff, he can do hulk hands, he turns into an armored van, what's not to love?

I use various baseball bats to give these horses a beatdown. For Rook I have chosen to use my "honesty" bat.

Sorry I just dont see the faceguard the same way you dont see the piercing...
