!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By Primus himself!!! There are so many things right with this particular thing here. Let me list them:

1 Wreck-Gar!!!! Nuff said, but I shall say more. He looks great! Perfect! Wouldn't change a thing! Articulated fingers? Yes! So...sniff...beautiful.

2 Sidecar Prowl: This thing looks bad ass! I already have the original, but this dude is awesome! Put me down for one!

3 Waspinator: Not a Bumblebee redeco, he's totally a wasp. Amazing.

4 40 bucks for me to own them all. That fits my budget just nicely!


And for those of you who are wondering, yes, I have changed my pants since seeing this. So awesome!!!

That Leo Prime should look wicked on Cyb Prime.

A whole bunch of definate buys. Atomic Lugnut is the only maybe in there, but I'll probably end up picking him up at some point anyways.

Mostly good stuff here! Not feeling the Univ. Dinobot though. But I'll probably like him more once I see him in person. Leo-Prime is awesome and horrible at the same time (to me at least). But I'm really liking all this info for the most part!

The new head sculpt on Leo Prime is nice. He'll look great with my GF Prime.

.

I'm assuming that since Wasp isn't a car like Bumblebee, that we will see more of his character in Season 3 where he takes on a actually Wasp alt. mode?

Is Prowl's sidecar armor removable? If not, I'm not so sure I still want him. I thought he would be just like the original one but with an attachable sidecar accessory. :-?

ooohhh lots of cool stuff.

I'm glad i passed on Prowl. I'm definitely getting Samurai Prowl.
by the looks of the alt mode, the side car just breaks apart into armor pieces to put onto Prowl which is pretty cool.

Waspy looks extremely cool. Will look very nice with BW Waspinator.

Wreckgar also looks like a winner.

Leo Prime... I'm torn the head looks really cool. but the color scheme? I was kind of hoping for more white and a very golden mane.

So disappointed with Overload. I was so hoping it be a repaint of Armada Overload, and not another Cybertron Defense Scattorshot.

SO where's Cybertron Defense Red Alert. He's deserving of a Repaint.

I actually was hoping for a Wasp repaint of BB, along with a cliffy. But that looks like cool too...and its also a spoiler.

Samurai Prowl is total sex. Also Hasbro pulled their finger out with a new mold, i was expecting armor, similar to city commander but it seems the side car is his chest and arms and the bike is everything else. *Clap clap* Hasbro.

How make us an Omega Supreme...or camp latino klingons will kill you in the bum.

Thats 2 more figures I have to fins shelf room for, both are must buy's in my eyes.

Comment by Marcdachamp Oct 20, 2008
The only Animated figure I have is Bumblebee from the Legacy 3-Pack. I've been trying to cut back on my Transformers spending, but I was planning on picking up Prowl. Glad I held off, that's a must buy, and the same goes for Waspy.

Damn, both those look nice. I'm glad that I passed on the first Prowl, but I may still pick it up as it looks quite different compared to this new one. A good question is if the new Prowl will have removable throwing stars or not. Here's some pics I slapped together for a comparison:

Man, Waspinator looks wicked! finally some love for Beast Wars that doesn't come in the form of repaints! He'll look great with Animated Blackarachnia!

And the new Prowl looks all kinds of yummy!

-Wrek-Gar is interesting. Definately a must buy if for nothing else than to have the original standing next to him and have imaginary conversations as to who's 'dumber'. I just feel bad that he looks so much like Weird Al.
-Waspinator is a total win in my book. Seeing that picture made my day.
-Prowl just got even better. The first one had amazing articulation, and this one just looks amazing.
-Atomic Lugnut looks good, but I'd have been more impressed with a bigger figure, befitting of the character.
-Dinobot needs to be seen in person. He looks good, but non-enhanced pictures or actually holding the toy will be the telling point.
-Smokescreen... pass. Sorry, not a fan of another G1 racecar. Please, no lynchmob.
-Leo Prime looks nice, but another one I'll need to see up close.
-Overload... pass. Not a fan of the mold.

It looks as though New Prowl CAN in fact take out his throwing stars, look closely at the hubcaps, you can see the gears, although they are black.


3 months to wait....it's Super Smash Bros Brawl all over again (I didn't say just "Brawl" cuz there's already a guy named that in Transformers and....nevermind.)

I will be picking up smokescreen and dinobot can't wait for those two also will pick up Waspinator and prowl with armor.

Comment by Bumblethumper Oct 20, 2008
I'm actually super disappointed with Wasp. I'd been hoping they'd do the Wasp design from Autoboot camp. I really loved that design, and it had excellent retooling potential.

This just seems like a waste of a mold. As beastformers go, it's not so bad, but I was very much looking forward to an eventual Cybertronian Bumblebee, and I guess there's little chance of that now.

Samurai Prowl looks ridiculous.

Atomic Lugnut is a surprisingly terrific repaint.
