MP Bluestreak & Prowl fully revealed

[Lord_Zed]

Wow, these guys look awesome and continue the aesthetic established with Lambor and Alert. Prowl is more or less my first Autobot and Transformer, technically Seaspray also has claim to that title, but he was more of a random gift.

I'm not surprised they didn't include the missile launchers given they are going for show accuracy. It will be interesting to see how much that re-tool Smokescreen to get him toonlike.

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.

I think this got reversed around the time MP Grimlock came out. The latest TakTom MP's have features like Alert's fake shoulder wheels to make them look more toon like. Whenever I pick up my Lambor, Alert or Soundwave I can hear the G1 cartoon theme in my head.

Very impressive. Definitely on the agenda.
