There's so much yellow on him, I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out!

Because it's precious.

I just really hate yellow sometimes. I dunno. What’s weird is that I love my MP-34 Cheetor, I’m okay with the yellow on Nightbeat, and my favorite X-Men uniforms (90s Jim Lee designs) all have healthy doses of yellow. It’s an out of place double standard, I know. Just...ugh. I’ll be painting over the yellow on Prowl.

What I didn’t realize though is that SixGun is not a redeco of Cog. It looks like his legs are similar, but that’s about it. So I’ll probably be getting him too.

Well that yellow is pretty loud, so let's hope it's toned down a bit under normal lights. Hey, you get to have a preference and a quick over coat of gold would be pretty easy.

I wonder how similar Cog and Sixgun's engineering will be and will we be able to make frankenbots out of them and Brunt? Talk about easy Siege Junkions!

It's a few small accents: a small yellow chevron on each arm, two small yellow stripes on his waist, and a small yellow triangle on his pelvis. It's hardly "so much yellow"
And these are all based on decals the original Prowl toy had, as has been demonstrated.

There's a particular reason behind those arm chevrons, too: they're meant to look like an officer's rank stripes.

Awesome! Can't wait to get Soundwave, even if his alt mode looks like a flying dumpster

I think I may know why. That yellow seen there on Siege Prowl is a loud, slightly greenish tinted shade of yellow, whereas the yellow seen on most of those other examples you listed are more of a golden or American cheese shade of yellow. Warmer yellow as opposed to cooler yellow.

I hope the yellow paint looks a little better under more "natural" lighting. I do get why some people don't like all the yellow hightlights, though. The original decals for the G1 toy were only outlined in yellow on the pelvis. They should primarily be silver or gray for the squiggles on either side and red for the triangle in the middle. This feels quite lazy on Hasbro's part, honestly. I do like that addition of the yellow chevrons on the biceps, though, as those are accurate G1 sticker details and also, as someone mentioned earlier, a way to show Prowl's ranking as a police officer. If they had just used some red and silver on the pelvis and a richer light blue clear plastic for the car windows, Siege Prowl would have looked pretty much perfect...although, some blue headlights and some red break lights would have helped quite a bit too.

That Shockwave just keeps growing on me, Um as well, especially with the Cybertron Prime guns just connected there like that...Wait, does that mean they'll be the only guns Prime has? Will there be enough parts count to give him all the fire power Cybertron Prime had?
