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.
I have been into transformers since 1984.
While I love G1 I also love new innovations and takes on the characters.
I prefer official Hasbro releases of stuff for the most part
I'm not a huge fan of Japanese original Transformers media or designs.
It's easier for me to say which are my LEAST favorite toy lines: Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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