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.Originally Posted by Ultra Mackness
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 loseLooks like they wanted to give Prowl a form of "attack mode".

These are divine. Come into my life already.
Also, Amazon versions now come one beefier shoulder cannon each. "so fans will need both if they want to display one or the other with a pair."

I just saw this and the 30+ year old inside threw a massive tantrum! The shoulder launchers were one of the defining characteristics of the original toys. While I'm happy to be getting these MPs (Prowl especially!) having these beefier launchers released only as an Amazon exclusive and then only one per toy just doesn't seem right.

i'm sure some 3rd party (most likely dr wu) will make them. and thats fine by me as i didn't like the hollow amazon piledrivers that came with sideswipe.
but these g1 shoulder launchers do look nice...

I agree. If they were going for cartoon accuracy, two launchers, toy accuracy, two launchers, not drain pipes. I wouldve even preferred the launchers like the ones on the classics mold. In prowl's case i wouldnt have minded so much as we never saw him in the cartoon with them equipped. I can understand little knick-knacks that we've seen them use in the show for 1/2 a second as an 'exclusive' but not something that eas an integral part of both the the toy and show.
