I'd like to repeat this question

Is WJ missile permanently attached to that shoulder launcher of his? Mine won't disengage anymore.

No it's not, there is no locking mechanism in the launcher.

There are however two grooves on either side of the missle.

That line up to the whatchamacallits inside the laucher. Did you line those up when inserting the missle or just jam it in?

Other than that no locking mechanism

Here is something interesting according to Meteor Operation's Facebook page Hasbro Asia has teamed up with Ocean Design to offer official upgrade stickers for Masterpiece Prowl and Wheeljack! These stickers adds a lot of extra sponsorship details to Wheeljack and some optional Japanese police logos for Prowl!

Like the look of that Wheeljack set, but not sure I'd spring for it. I like the cartoon look with just a little bit of detail.

The Prowl one would be a fun way to distinguish my Hasbro and Takara versions, may look to pick that up.

警視庁 is actually Japanese. Note 庁 is only used in Japanese, while the same character is written in Chinese either 厅 or 廳.

I always thought Prowl was the security specialist not a military strategist.

My last post went crazy from a mobile device. What I was trying to say was I thought Prowl was supposed to be a security officer and not a military strategist.

The Security Officer is the lovable paranoid Red Alert. Though Prowl was Security Officer once, during the Machine Wars line.

Licensing would still have been a problem though. Here's the loophole though: by outsourcing to Ocean Designs who may already have the proper licenses (or have an easier time getting one), Hasbro has no need to acquire a separate license for their own sticker sheets.

well yeah. heavily liscenced stickers like those, but the average MP would just need regular 'ol goofy 80's designs.

Damn it, now I need a second Prowl. I'd buy these sheets for the Wheeljack set alone. Hasbro finally beat Reprolabels at their own game.

I'm just surprised that on Wheeljack's sheet, there's an ACTUAL Marlboro logo. Makes me wonder if they'll do a set like this for Exhaust so we can truly make him into "Marlboor Wheeljack".

actually... the stickered prowl in my pic is reprolabel'd. which after comparing the two stickers sets, RL wins hands down in my opinion.
