MP Bluestreak & Prowl fully revealed

[GoktimusPrime]

Regarding the BT's feet, i guess i meant how finicky he is to even stand up. You play on the carpet right? I imagine he spends most of his time playing dead :P

Remember that when you play with a toy, it's "in motion," it's not the same as posing a toy for say taking action shots where the toy needs to stand balanced. When you play with at toy, it's being supported by your hands anyway, so you can pose them in whatever position you want. I often have toys lying around when I'm not playing with them... it doesn't matter what the toy is doing when it's not "in play" (like an actor for a play being off stage).

Gok you are probably the only (employed) adult collector that actually smashes your toys in to each other and makes them do karate. This is a compliment, not an insult.

I don't physically smash them together. I'm more like Andy from Toy Story[1]^Dark Helmet from Spaceballs[2] (only without the rigorous physical contact ). I've never smashed my toys, not even as a kid (hence most of my childhood G1 collection survived relatively unscathed... those that are broken were mostly broken by other children! )

Most people aren't going to notice as many bits popping out as they will be a bit less rigorous.

That's fine, however as I said on the Do You Play w/ your TFs thread, I'm more appreciative of the opinions of collectors who are able to examine the play value of a toy - irrespective as to whether or not they are active players or not.

That's fair enough - just from a design perspective the MPs won't be made to withstand as much punishment as, say, a RescueBot Hero (or whatever they're called).

Some more images released, focussing on their weapons.

[Ultra Mackness]

Great to see Prowl has rejoined the highway patrol Not convinced on the whole attach the rifle to the car roof thing though.

Looks like they wanted to give Prowl a form of "attack mode". It does make it consistent with MP Lambor and Alert who also have the same feature. I don't mind it -- judging from this image of the vehicle mode without the weapon, it doesn't seem like the gimmick affects the look of the vehicle mode. So if you really don't like it, just don't attach it. There doesn't appear to be any unsightly ports or anything like that.

I like it as a method of being able to have all the parts attached in both modes. Makes it harder to lose
