Wow, Lockdown looks great!
As for Prowl, now I'm REALLY trying to work out his transformation!!!
His legs/wheels confuzle the scrap out of me!

The ultimate gimmick would be if you never got to transform him, he just used his ninja skills to transform when you weren't looking.

I do love his weapons, although the folding throwing thing reminds me more of Blade's glaives. Maybe Prowl is a logic ninja pimp vampire slayer?

Prowl FTW. That's cool.

Lockdown looks great. I'd like to pair him up with Cybertron Cannonball.

I'm not too keen on the Prowl fig, but that Lockdown is quite impressive. That alt mode is friggin' awesome. Depending on the rest of the line, I may really be interested in this.

:DEVIL:

You know, if Lockdown had wings, he looks like he'd be a Cyclonus-type character. Liking him more and more all the time.

Prowl's cool too; but I'll have my Paintbrushes awaitin' to give him a more G1-inspired color scheme.

And he's voiced by Lance Henriksen! Woot!

There's some really innovative design work here. I love Prowl's shurikens.

yeah even on the action shots its just on the floor - is it an accessory can prowl use it in some way? weve never seen other animated figures in package do they have similar things with em? Does the light do anything on its own or is it scenery? does it join up with anything else?

So many mysteries about a seemingly useless piece of plastic

Maybe if one collects enough figures one can build a fun Earth playset.

I was thinking more of the Glaive from the Movie Krull...

Damn I'm old!!! :-(

I think they look pretty cool.

Im probably going to get the entire collection of them for my son. (he already has all the Cyber Slammers)

TF: Animated is something that I am going to try and avoid. The cartoon looks too weird for me. And the toys are very weird as well. I'm sticking with G1 toys and stories for good now.

I actually starting to like these.

AMAZING.MUST HAVE NOW. WANT WANT WANT!!!

:sad:

by **Hard Hacker** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 11:31 am

Prowl: I like it. Doesn't need to be more like G1, a perfect reinvention of the character.

Lockdown: I like him, he's got the look for a villian in a kid show, a sort of air that's not explicitly evil but not too tame ether.

by **Bumblebee-otch** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 11:38 am

lockdown turns into the batmobile!?

by **Talon523** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 11:52 am

I like Lockdown...except for his head. I also like prowl, but can picture a lot of Prowls with a loose waist joint.

by **Auto Bot** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 12:04 pm

I'm really curious at how Prowl's wheels goes to each of his knees.

News Credits: 5 · by **--B--** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 12:24 pm

I think prowls feet rotate all the way over his knees to cover his thighs in cycle mode, but that's all i can tell from a quick look.

Guess we just have to wait until someone gets him and does a review.

I'm not 100% on this line, but i like it more every time I see it.

Like all other lines, I'll have to pick and choose what I like the best.

I think i get your idea. The foot folds in and hide inside the main shell of the bike? At least the wheels are now whole and not split or cut in half.
