That'd make sense coz that's the magic number when series go into syndication in the States. It's also the reason a lot of good cartoons finish at or soon after Episode 52.Quote:

I haven't picked him up yet, but from what I heard/read there has been some problems with the paint on his doors, apparently also in the Henkei release too.Quote:

I heard that it was only the first batch with iffy paint (my initial Prowl had dodgy paint but then I got's me a 2nd one from the US & that was fine.)
When you see a bunch of them in the stores, scan the packages for the one with the best paint job. When transforming it, be a little careful in trying not to scrape the front quarters/doors onto the rest of him. In general, try not to be too rough with him. :)
mines fine, and it was the first one i picked up off the shelf, and all the others ive seen lately have been good tooQuote:

The door paint is improved and it has beau-ti-ful CHROME on the gun, spoiler and weapon! At first I was fairly ambivalent about the spoiler chrome on Prowl and Sunstreaker, but after playing with the toys it's actually pretty neat! I made them race each other in car mode and the chrome kept leaving this streak of light reflecting off it... looked sick! :D I don't have the camera nor the skills to photograph those toys at high speed to capture the streak... but it looks noice! :D
Be aware that the strobe light rack on the car roofs are different. Henkei has a Japanese-style strobe whereas I'm guessing Universe Prowl's strobe is more American. IMO the Henkei one looks better because Prowl is painted in the colours of a Japanese police car... but it's purely a matter of individual taste. Neither strobe is inherently better or worse than the other.
Here's some comparative pics to help you decide for yourself...

Henkei also comes with tech spec card & mini-comic book. :)
thanks all for the info
Gok, that Henkei Prowl looks hawt!!!! I was against Henkei Prowl iniitally cause i heard that the doors has Japanese writing on it. Comparison photos make decisions so much easier.
Q: The Henkei Thundercracker was produced in limited numbers?
If so, how much of a dent did this board make? EG: did we order 9 out of 10
Q: Are the Henkei Dirge and Thrust limited in numbers?
Yes and yes.
i am unsure whether the universe voyagers (wave 2 onwards) will be re-released again under the 25th anniversary logo, right now some inferno boxs are released without the 25th logo, i seen the offical images with the 25th logo. it made me think whether they will re-release previous waves so the entire universe 2.0 set will have the logo. can any1 give me more details on this
Hey guys/gals, anyone know if there are different versions of movie incinerator? Most pics that I've seen show that it is mostly grey and then the one that I got is mostly black. Have I gotten myself some fake one that fell off the back of the truck? :o
