Hasbro MP Prowl and Sunstorm confirmed?

[Bidoofdude]

So Prowl has been dropped for release in Europe.

This does worry me that he may get dropped here too, what do you think peeps?

Did Europe have it in their TRU database? I know we have it, so we should be safe.

Not always. CNY Supreme Class Starscream was also listed in TrU's database here but ended up being cancelled.

Fair point. That's a worry.

Yes it was listed, even had their web page up for it but showing out of stock.

We've had Hasbro's MP-01 and MP-02 in Masterpiece Soundwave and Masterpiece Acid Storm...

So, while MP-03 Masterpiece Grimlock has been (and seemingly gone!) from Toys R Us (US) (en route to Australia), MP-04 Masterpiece Prowl has seemingly hit Australia's east coast (before a US debut!), MP-05 Masterpiece Sunstorm has started shipping from Robot Kingdom (mine's on it's way), I noticed something funny...

The box art is a recoloured version of the 1st seeker Masterpiece mould. The promo pics that came out online (with a child playing with it) are the revised v2 (also known as MP-11 after the Takara Starscream release) mould. Just found the discrepancy to be pretty funny, as someone would have had to digibash the exisiting photos of the v1 to get a Hasbro-deco Sunstorm.

Anyone snagged MP-04 Prowl yet? Though I own the Japanese release, I'm curious about any deco changes.

So is Hasbro Sunstorm out here yet?

Nope. Just started shipping from RK. USD$130.

Given that Prowl is AU$100... I've ordered it from RK. Rather pay a little more and not have to worry about chasing it up.

[drifand]

have to say, I am tempted with Sunstorm.

It's got a deco that's rather different from the Takara version.

Now that Prowl is out here has anyone got him? I'm wondering if there is anything in the box to warrant the mark up over the Takara version? Also why is he in such a huge box?
