New Images and Review for Transformers Legacy Animated Prowl

If he had been decoed differently and called someone else, it would be easier to give him a pass. He would be a good transforming toy. But as Animated Prowl, he comes up short (literally and figuratively.) He's not a failure, but I can't get over his stockiness and that terrible face. The bike isn't sleek or streamlined and for some reason those handlebars in robot mode really bug me. I get he's supposed to be "G1-ified" but they managed to ruin it much like they did Arcee and Bulkhead. He's adequate at best. For a casual fan he'll do the job of representing the character, but as a fan of the show and that character in particular, I'm disappointed.

The handlebars really bug me too

I'm conflicted. Looks alright. Is too short. I know why thr back side kibble is there. But the face... Prowl smiles?

That Prowl look perfect for me.

I'll be sure to get him once it's out.

That alone makes me glad pointblank was sold as a deluxe, compromised as he may be. Plus there are more deluxe slots than voyager slots for a given year.

Well, I DID was pissed at "voyager" Override. Once in hand, he felt like a deluxe through and through.

Still, thinking about it, I wonder how Override would have been trimmed down to a deluxe?

Well, I WAS pissed at "voyager" Override.

..."did was"?

Sigh.

English isn't your 1st language, it's understandable. I guess some people might have thought you were from the Southern US. But you're a Quebecer.

As for your question about override, I don't think anything could have been done. The voyager price was for the engineering, and if they skimped on that it would have crippled the figure. Or made it a borderline 2-step simpleton.

Plus, Override is equal in size to the likes of Siege Springer and Earthrise Grapple.

got him on preorder, and just hoping I can find Dead End and Motermaster at a store at a time when I can afford to get them. Motormaster just refuses to be available anywhere when I have the money to get him.

man this one just hits different. I love it. this is making animated fit into g-1 and is leaps and bounds better then what they did with prime bulkhead and arcee. but, I still prefer the original, so will probably pass on this.

though I do find some humor in this ones existence. Remember how during animated's run, how many g1 and (and beast wars) were getting re-imagined in the animated style? full reverse!


I still want animated season 4 though
