This is one fo the TF's I vividly remember as a kid, a definite purchase. Just wish the numbers weren't so generic looking in that white box on his door. :-(

I will be buying Smokescreen as soon as I see him on shelves.

I really like the 350Z mold, even with it's sticky paint issues.

do you guys just rip everything you see off tfw2005.com? or is it the other way around? just curious.

Hmmmmm...the more I look at him, the less I like him. The colors look to Fisher-Pricey. I'll wait for the Henkei version.

that's kinda what i was thinking. seeing it a little more clearly is a little disappointing. i expected to get this without any questions, but now i think i'll likely pass on this 3rd installment of this particular mold. sucks because i wanted it bad too.

Yes, randomly placed chrome is EXACTLY what this paintjob needs. :roll:

Q EFF TEE. His arms are particularly hideous. Y'know, if they're going to push a THIRD incarnation of the same mold, canon character or not, I'd appreciate them to at least TRY to make it attractive. This just reeks of "okgeewunguy,forkoveryourmoneytybbq".

Don't like the mould. Sorry Hasbro, but Prowl was kind of a letdown.

Loving Animated Jazz though, will have to pick up some more Animateds ASAP (and Classics Mirage if I can get my cousin to sell/trade me it).

i thought prowl was ok and loved bluestreak - thought i would 100% buy this to have the g1 trio together.
now? not so sure. really needs a completely different paintjob -
silver for the gun, missiles, exhaust pipes. needs to be a darker red and blue - maroon would look awesome. needs a better taillight, something like bluestreak's.

make those changes and you make this toy something an adult collector would give a kidney for. and i'm sure it won't cost hasbro an arm and a leg to do, i mean, bluestreak was dipped in silver for Moses' sake.
I love these G1 accurate, seeded in fiction repaints. but this is kind of lazy.
