I hope so too. That's my preferred color scheme for him, but I suspect this might be Selects due to Smokescreen being standard retail, and Prowl being the exclusive. Granted, I hope this one is fake overall just due to the Smokescreen head and bumper, rather than using the Prowl version of the mold

I actually don't know if I like it more than the Henkei one I already have. I feel like I have to justify a purchase a lot. But I dislike Universe Prowl quite a bit and I wanna replace that. So...

Yeah, this is obviously just a recolor of the Smokescreen render, even if it is in a "new" pose than what we've seen before with Smokescreen himself. I'm confident that the final figure will use the Prowl molding, minus the light bar, of course. It will also likely use the Prowl head, but I'd be very impressed if Hasbro and Takara Tomy went the extra mile and gave Bluestreak his cartoon head sculpt to further differentiate him from Prowl. The lower legs are odd, btw. Those pieces are clear plastic, as they form the back windshield of the car mode, but they are transparent from the front and magically opaque on the sides in this render. Oops! Maybe they are meant to be "painted" light blue in those spots, but the render makes it look like solidly cast plastic. I don't think there's any reason to paint those over in blue either, as they just used clear blue plastic for Smokescreen and Prowl and colored the parts that are supposed to be opaque in the appropriate colors per their character models.

You're right! I didn't see it before, but after comparing some screen shots of the original cartoon and the Masterpiece versions, it looks pretty obvious that Siege Prowl's head is based based on Prowl's G1 cartoon model, and Earthrise Prowl's head is based on Bluestreak's G1 cartoon model instead. I wonder how easy it would be to move Siege Prowl's head onto Earthrise Prowl? Would the joints be compatible?

Also, I put my engineering degree to good use and built a spaceport! Omega is currently buried in one of my upper shelves at the moment, otherwise he would be there too

Much like the Siege Prowl. To be honest, I don't even think it's that there's anything wrong with the Earth Rise Prowl, if I had missed Siege Prowl and gotten Earthrise instead, damn skippy I'd like it as much as I like the Siege one. They're equal to each other to me I guess.
Do I need it? No. Am I going to get it? Yes, but only so I can have that Ironhide. Damn these two-packs.
