We all joke about Siege Prowl but people were paying over $70 for him new in box just last week. Several times this month alone. Upwards of $60 loose. It's roughly what people were paying for Earthrise Trailbreaker still. Over in several instances.

I might pick a few more Prowl up to make more Autotroopers with the Toyhax sticker set. There's also that M.A.S.K set for Trailbreaker also on Toyhax.

I'd love to see a GoBots Scratch set for the five pack grey Trailbreaker but that might just be me.

I hope they squeeze out a few in yellow while ttailbreaker is on the presses.

Still waiting for a re-issue of Thrust and Sunstreaker (on his own) though.

Thrust is what I been waiting for as well.

Alright, now how about not-damaged ER Prowl?

I hate how bothe the Siege & ER Prowl's can't get his shoulder missiles included, but every iteration of Bluestreak, Smokescreen, and even Barricade get them.

I know it may not be the answer you're looking for, but he didn't have the shoulder guns in the cartoon. Pretty much why Prowl is the one who doesn't come with them is my guess. I had no idea Siege Prowl was going for $70 and was that desired. Sold mine a while back when I gots Eartrise Prowl.

100% on both points! Thrust is a must.

That Prowl in particular seems odd, IMO the worst looking version. I preer ER mold, and I already got the Trailbreaker from the five pack because i liked the colors on it more.

At this point, we're gonna have to start hounding Hasbro to let them know we want ER Prowl in SS86 and not a Siege Prowl reissue. The demand is there so I fail to understand why the TF team is failing to read the room again.

We had this mess with Ramjet when someone thought it's be a good idea to release him in blue camo as part of the Toxitron line nobody wanted, which got the ER release cancelled.

There still Thrust, ER Prowl, Hound in Earth Mode (solo release this guy Hasbro!), the Jumpstarters (I still need Runabout)

According to one of the TFW leaker guys that gets helps get all the early store listings, living ER Prowl is still currently locked in the Amazon equivalent of the same exclusivity deal that kept Hasbro from re-releasing ER Soundwave outside of Walmart until the 3rd part of Legacy. The reason Dead Prowl was even able to happen was because the dead guy deco and the retooling differentiated it enough from ER Prowl to not violate Amazon's exclusivity, and Dirge and Ramjet have gotten rereleases already despite also being Amazon exclusives because their exclusivity deal ended in time to put them both in Legacy (apparently they were some of the first ER figures done).

So if I had to guess, this is an exact repeat of what happened with the two Legacy Soundwaves: they saw demand for a G1 Prowl rerelease and/or were told by higher-ups to refresh G1 Prowl, but they can't use the one people actually want, so they're using the Siege mold in hopes of satisfying some of the fans while waiting out the clock on the exclusivity to then turn around and release that one later.

I find it interesting regarding Prowl but I wonder why not ER instead? I actually dig Siege Prowl as he is my Neo-G1 figure. I just had to swap wheels with Bluestreak to make Prowl look so proper...'nuff said!

I would love it if Prowl was done in the comic edition line. With blue instead of black and an angry face.

Read the post above yours.

Earthrise Prowl would have been better I think they are just sleeping in the factory Completely forgot that they made it in an earth set

I prefer the ER sculpt, though I already have Prowl with clear windows I might have been compelled to double dip for the accurate opaque windows.
