Fellow Seibertron.com user robotmel has been on the hunt in the UK, namely in Toys'R'Us, and has come up with some interesting findings concerning Hasbro Transformers Masterpiece figures Prowl and Sunstorm - of which we had heard rumours of future US release. Read on below, and check out the images, for what appears to be a confirmation of that rumour, at least for UK fans!

Popped in to my local Toys R Us and had a word with the very helpful Customer Services assistant about Transformers Masterpieces. I inquired about any that where currently available on their systems, with only Masterpiece Acid Storm floating around, but what really caught my eye further down the list was Masterpiece Prowl and Masterpiece Sunstorm!

The Customer Services assistant checked both items, which unfortunately didnt have a confirmed release date, but each had their own SKN/VNDR reference number and a price against them. Transformers Masterpiece Prowl was priced at £59.99 with a reference number of 958298 and Masterpiece Sunstorm was priced at £69.99 with the reference number 958883.

This is very positive news that both figures will be hitting UK shores in the not too distant future. I have included a photo of both information screens which the Customer Services assistant very kindly let me take.

I pray Hasbro doesn't botch their decos.

So, no Thrust, Dirge or Ramjet in the pipeline, but an unlimited number of Starscream repaints?

(or perhaps I'm still bitter that I could find Acid Storm on the TRU shelves while Soundwave was being snatched up by eBay resellers the second he was put out.)

Prowl is great, but why Sunstorm? Are all the unsold Acid Storms getting lonely sitting on the shelves and in warehouses, so they decided he needed a friend?

I'm sure it will be fine. The various tampos on Thundercracker were a bit annoying, but they didn't ruin the figure by any means.

I wouldn't mind a Skywarp before they move on to the Coneheads... he's the last of the original 3 Seekers who needs an MP-11 style redo.

That was a few years back already. We've had OP, TC, SW, & AC since then... I think all of those have been acceptable.

Besides, wasn't Rodimus homaging his action master persona?

At any rate, it's pretty tough to actively screw up a Seeker deco... or is it? :-s

There was no Action Master Hot Rod/Rodimus.

His deco was homaging his original toy.

Ah, I see. But if it was homaging the G1 toy, what's your issue with the deco? I'm not super fond of it, either, but Hasbro has been prone to homaging the original toys (a la MP Soundwave).

The mold was clearly designed to resemble the cartoon animation model, which was colored quite differently from the toy. Takara MP Rodimus got the right deco befitting the cartoon animation model, while Hasbro's toy-accurate looked way off on a the cartoon-accurately-detailed MP mold.

I'm really conflicted on the new seekers. I want the MP 11 mold badly, but can't justify actually getting MP 11. Price is too much when I already have MP3 and the 'cartoon' repaint.

So, do I go for new characters either Acid Storm or Sunstorm, I do I get Thundercraker regardless of already having Takara's, since he is my favourite seeker?

I really don't know. :BANG_HEAD:

If you ever decide to get MP11 proper, get the TakaraTomy Asian market reissue. It has small deco differences that slightly improve upon the original release's deco.

Yea, I sold my original MP-11 release in anticipation of the slightly improved deco. Just so happened that I got SS when he was first released at $160, and was able to sell him for $250. Definitely helped me swallow the $200 reissue price.

£59.99 for a domestic release of Prowl, bit steep considering how small he is.

Where a lot of in-the-know fans and collectors have already bought these via import or other such means, making them available via Toys R Us gives the option to purchase, as many do, via a brick and mortar store without the worry or concerns that importing involves.

Do you pay a little more, yes you do; Do you have peace of mind should you need to return or exchange it, yes you do!

This is Hasbro we're talking about. They had the faction logos upside down for the first few runs of Generations Dirge before they figured out something didn't quite look right or someone pointed it out to them.

It wasn't that the symbols were upside down, it's that that forehead crest of the symbols was mispainted.

That's awesome! A bit disappointed that it's not going to be a Sideswipe-Prowl 2-pack, but this is still a great sign that at least some new MP molds will be brought to the West.

Also, I don't spot any deco changes... :-?

Ah, I see. But if it was homaging the G1 toy, what's your issue with the deco? I'm not super fond of it, either, but Hasbro has been prone to homaging the original toys (a la MP Soundwave).

It was homaging the Targetmaster version of the G1 toy, which had a much more red deco than the original G1 toy and also came with a Targetmaster partner, just as the Hasbro MP did (and even the arm stickers they provided homage that version of the toy if you compare the two).

As for what will become of these new MPs, I didn't get the Takara Sunstorm because I just wasn't a fan of the really bright yellow deco they used. If Hasbro does something darker/cooler looking I may get it.

Hasbro Masterpiece Prowl boxed picture

After being found in the Toys 'R' Us computer system, site Sponsor TFSource has posted on their Facebook page, images of the upcoming Hasbro version of Masterpiece Prowl. Numbered MP-04, he looks nearly identical to his Japanese counterpart but sporting the new and improved looking Masterpiece boxes that Hasbro has used since Acid Storm.

Posted by Bounti76 on April 22nd, 2014 @ 10:02pm CDT

Doesn't look much different (if at all) from the Takara version. A little paint missing on the bumper in car mode, but present in robot mode.

Only two real questions....is the box the same size as MP Soundwave and Acid Storm? Prowl isn't nearly as big as the Seeker mold, and doesn't come with anough accessories to justify the larger size box that Soundwave came in.

Also, pricing? If it's around $60 or so, I'll be glad I got my Takara release. A year earlier, easier to find (if past MP releases of popular characters are any indication), and not that much more money.

If I've learned one thing from my life as a Transfan, it's patience. Hadn't saved up for Takara's, passed on those leftover parts KOs (I bought Red Alert's, and got what I paid for), and now THIS!

And if he's on TRU shelves the same time as the MP Grimlock rerelease, it'll be like watching their arguments from the end of the Marvel U.S. run on the store shelves.
(Hopefully Underbase-ish Platinum Starscream will finally be gone by then, for continuity's sake)

More popular than Acid Storm, but up there with Optimus and Soundwave? Nah, he won't be that hard to find.

And since Acid Storm's box was one size smaller than Soundwave's, my guess is Prowl's will be about one inch less in width and height.

Well as far as I've always seen, he's more popular than Hot ROd/Rodimus Prime, and I NEVER saw him on shelves...got him via eBay (though thankfully, for not much more than retail). Gotta wonder, too, with his more prominent role in the current comics, if that'll spark a bit more interest than there would have been.

Bumblevivisector wrote:And since Acid Storm's box was one size smaller than Soundwave's, my guess it Prowl's will be one notch further down.

That makes sense. I don't know what else they COULD include to make the box as big as even Acid Storm's, other than empty space.

I paid a little over $90 for the Asian market one. Even $60 I feel is a bit much for what we're getting.

Having the Takara one there's no reason to get a Hasbro one, especially for Prowl. But I do like the box.

Due the cost of collecting these I've been reluctant to start getting serious with Masterpiece figures but of course now I want them all now that they seem intent on making all the main characters. What sucks is I saw my Grimlock, Skywarp, and Optimus get me offers double or sometimes triple what I paid so I sold them all thinking they would never make a full set of Masterpiece figures. Who knows how much of a bitch karma will be to me while trying to buy those back again. #-o

Posted by craggy on April 23rd, 2014 @ 2:12am CDT

I think I was $75 or thereabouts for the Japanese one online. I suspected that out of any of the new licensed car ones, Prowl would be the most likely to get a US release, but it wasn't set in stone.

The lack of Sideswipe or any news about anything from Hasbro, and my love of Prowl (both the character and the MP mold) combined to plenty of reason for buying it when I knew I could. I'm not worried. This new box is fairly nice looking, but the black T/T one fits with the rest of mine anyway, and whilst I suppose this might turn up on shelves in TRU's here, I'm not counting on Hasbro UK.

Nice one for folks who missed out or passed for whatever reason before though. He's a great toy.

$60 is expensive, probably due to the license. But if he has the chrome missile launchers I'll give the price a pass and buy him.

That box will look awesome next to the MP Soundwave box, as will Grimlock! I like the way they're packaging the new MPs.

I did NOT like the packaging of MP Thundercracker. That box is now in storage, while my MP SW box is on display.

I ALMOST did the same when TFsource made some available on Amazon during the holidays, but Prowl sold out so I got Bluestreak (Streak) instead. Now I'm glad that happened.
