    Damn these look great...I held out so hard not to buy "repaint characters" in G1 like Red Alert. Looks like I have to get Blue Streak maybe even Smokescreen..

    But I'm quibbling! These look great!
    Prowl didn't have shoulder cannons in the cartoon.

    It's interesting to see that Prowl doesn't have the shoulder cannons on the JP version, since TakaraTomy seem to be more "Toy" Masterpiece, while Hasbro is the one who's more "cartoon" Masterpiece. As such, I'd expect Hasbro to leave off the shoulder cannons to match the cartoon... but among the Toy-themed TakaraTomy MPs, Prowl might look out of place without the missile launchers.

    Seems Smokescreen is delayed until 4th quarter
    Good for the wallet, and for hopes of substantial remoulding!

    Ooooh they do look nice. It's a shame that my refined collection of masterpieces and alternators is slowly being replaced, but luckily it's for some worthy figures.

    Keep 'em coming I say.


    Urge to buy toys... rising... rising! TERMINATED DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS

    Thanks pw_sd, those photos are great. I think that's the first time I've seen shots from different sides and back. Looks like the amazon launchers are hollow and sit on top of the attached launchers.

    Can't wait for this guy to arrive!!

    It's Brake-neck and Quickslinger all over again. Sell us the variants and recolours we don't want first, then give us the toy we want! TakTom: Fool me once, shame on you.

    It wouldn't surprise me if the shoulder cannons flip up and you have the option to show or hide them.
