The more interesting reveal is that ESD-10 DX is Prowl. This time the Cyberverse Deluxe Prowl is getting an incredible repaint rather than the Cyberverse Deluxe Hot Rod repaint Hasbro released.

Both figures are listed for 3,850 JPY ($24.00 USD) and are set to release on June 29 ,2024. Images and Amazon.jp links can be seen below.

That Prowl mold is the game!

His name is still "Thrash". It's just that the Japanese language doesn't have a proper "Th" sound, so it uses "S" sounds to approximate it.

They also use "R" sounds for "L" sounds, so any machine translator is going to instinctively misinterpret "Thrash" as "Slash" since the latter is a more common word than the former.

@Sabrblade- Thank you for letting me know this- I seriously had no clue!

Totally agreed. Amazing what some paint does for some of these Cyberverse Deluxes

That’s a great Prowl, the proportions in both modes are spot on for the style of EarthSpark, I hope he shows up in S2 like this. A good mix of cartoony and realistic.

You know what undermines his realism? He's a two-door car. Almost every incarnation of Prowl or Barricade is supposed to be a police car, but has no real back seat.

It would be perfect if they included the blast effects which are really, REALLY good.

Apparently in Japan Fire and Police commanders use sports cars that are only two-door. I guess Prowl and Barricade were based on the vehicles of higher-ranking officers.

We know what Earthspark Prowl looks like thanks to the Hasbro Packaging (and it's not a reuse of the Cyberverse design):

Definitely going to pass on the Hasbro version since Prowl and Thrash don't come with Mandroid parts so I have no need for them.

May as well compare Thrash:

You should just get Warrior Thrash anyways, it is the better Thrash toy.

And I would still recommend Hasbro Prowl as a cool Checkpoint.

I've got Warrior Thrash, it's great, but not particularly accurate color-wise. Maybe I should just grab the Japanese release, too. I'll only get Hasbro's Prowl if it's on sale or clearanced.

Portuguese retailer Aj Aguiar has put up order pages for two new Warrior class figures, complete with official images: Terran Hastag (brand new mold) and Chaos Terran Spitfire (redeco of Warrior class Terran Twitch).

They're both combiners. That Spitfire might just make it out before anyone sees a Warrior Class Twitch!

The Warrior class versions of Twitch and Bumblebee have the same gimmick.

I know that and have Bumblebee. Outside of a few early international eBay listings and a seller going by AmazonUK on Amazon NO ONE has seen or gotten Warrior Twitch to go with Bumblebee. Crap, I never published Bumblebee here and it hasn't been newsed yet. It's a really good figure but without Twitch you're only getting half the fun.

We thank Sabrblade for letting us know of new images for Warriors Hashtag and Spitfire. And on Australia’s Target site, we got a first look at Tacticon Starscream.

Comment by Stormshot_Prime May 7, 2024
Well thats not quite her alt-mode but I like it! At least all the Terrans have decent full sized figures now.

Very curious about this “Chaos” version of Twitch, the second season can’t come soon enough.
