Prowlastator is pre-existing in the comics and Prowl himself is a "classic" character, so the situations are a little different.

gothsaurus wrote:Prowl being a part of Devastator is only cool in that something-that-happened-in-one-episode kinda way... like in Scramble City cartoon where one combiner grabbed another team member to make him be a leg.
For an actual toy, it's a terrible idea (unless it's just an OPTIONAL way to combine. I'd be glad to see the functionality added in this way as a nod to IDW if all six original cons are available.)
BUT —in my opinion - it looks out of place, it's the wrong faction, Prowl has historically not been a combiner, it's contrary 30+ years of canon, and it smacks of a bad fan-fiction... drummed up deliberately to be controversial like some low-brow reality show.
(That said, as much as I've disagreed with the writing in Robots in Disguise, I've loved it in MTMTE and all the mini-series.)
Just my personal opinion. Of course I'm glad some of you like this storyline. It's a diverse multiverse, and I'm not bashing anyone. Just stating my own views and distaste at what I felt like was a weird choice that stepped on a lot of toes.

People, you must get it through your thick skulls that this ain't geewun. Slingshot and Wildrider DO NOT exist in the new generation of Transformers.
Personally, I like the change for two reasons. One, it is a brand new character. And two, watching all the geewun fans get their panties in a wad over the their "modern" geewun collection not fitting in with their ideology of what Hasbro should be producing.
Geewun died twenty years ago people. Time to move on and live in the here and now. These combiners are part of Generation Three, just like every other figure that has come out under this line, except the FOC/WFC figures.
Currently, though, since it was a mixed bag prior to James Roberts and John Barber taking the helm of things.SW's SilverHammer wrote:shockblast2 wrote:And the geewun rage continues.....LOL

You do realize there's no Generation 3, right? This is the IDW reinterpretation/ Re-imagining of the G1 continuity; which, in my opinion, is far superior to the other interpretations of Generation one over 30 years, including Marvel G1, Sunbow G1, and Japanese G1, and Dreamwave G1.

Yeah, though after Barber and Robert's took over I view as a bit of a soft reboot of itself, even though it isn't really. I suppose though, The closest Comparison/analogy would be; IDW G1 is the 2004 Battlestar Galactica to 1984 G1's 1978 Battlestar Galactica.
Um, Slingshot's dead body is right there in the image. They killed him off and Alpha Bravo volunteered alongside Powerglide to be Slingshot's replacement:shockblast2 wrote:Again, they do not exist. If they did, then they would be part of the Aerialbot and Stunticon combiners, now wouldn't they?
If you read the comic, you'd know that that was indeed the Aerialbot Slingshot in that pic.shockblast2 wrote:The Slingshot that was killed in the comics is not the aerialbot Slingshot from G1. If it were, then it would be alive, part of the aerialbot team that forms Superion, and there would be a deluxe class figure for it in 2015.

Um, IDW did? Ever since they started the series back in 2005?shockblast2 wrote:Sure there is. Who said IDW's take on the Transformers is a "g1 reboot"?

Your ignorance, as always, is staggering.

Being dead doesn't mean he never existed. He did previously, until he was damaged beyond repair in Superion's last fight with Devastator.shockblast2 wrote:Aerialbot Slingshot is not part of the combiner team because Aerialbot Slingshot is DEAD. Doesn't exist. Kaput. Gone. Bye-bye.
Yeah they are. It's been one long-running series since then and even current issues flashback to those events from time to time. The big Dark Cybertron event from last year dealt with the Dead Universe that Simon Furman introduced during his term in writing the comic, which was from 2005 to 2008, and which Mike Costa reintroduced in 2011 during his writing term.shockblast2 wrote:2. Even if it were, the storyline and characters that began in 2005 are NOT the same as the RID series that runs now.
