Get out of here with that crap.

I don't like the designs and I'm a total doucebag, but I'm not about to start the whole 'slap to the face' nonsense.

I agree with CP. It's just a name. It's like saying any one named Jesus is a slap in the face of anyone with religious beliefs.

Or like saying anyone named Tim with a less-than funny accent is a slap in the face to all "Monty Python & the Holy Grail fans".

Love the designs, love the art style, love the chins.
This is going to be the first line since G1 I'll actually collect.

I'll probably pass on this guy though, since he bears little resemblance to his G1 self.

But if he was called Axer you would buy it?

Nope. But maybe if they do a G1 Prowl-style repaint.

I collect homages, you see.

And yes, I agree about shutting up about 'a slap in the face'. You can dislike it and refuse to buy it, but it's not 'a slap in the face'.

Looks kinda plain and boring to me. Maybe I'll feel different seeing it in person.

I got a reply from the seller regarding the bio! :grin:

Prowl AUTOBOT Spy.
Prowl has spent his life studying the secrets of the ancient art of circuit-su.
Through its teachings,he has discovered the beauty of pure logic,and the invincibility of reason. All things even combat-are subject to reason.
If one is willing to calmly apply one's mental faculties to any problem,the solution will soon reveal itself. He often finds the chaotic antics of humans and other AUTOBOTS frustrating,but he will stop at nothing in their defense.

His galactic powers & abilities:
Master of circuit-su.
Projects holograms for use as camouflage.
Can use any object as a weapon.

The traffic light is a swinging "chain" weapon!

Well, most of his bio seems pretty G1-Prowl-esk.

I can dig it, and will probably buy it too...

I applaud you, good sir.

The toy itself looks surprisingly good. I'm not too into the animated stuff, but I can see myself getting this guy...

I like how they have the image of him on the front, but I'm still waiting for them to bring back tech spech cards with images. Sadly, it doesn't look like that's going to happen.
