When I preorered and paid the dollar was much stronger. Fortunately for me I also paid for Bluestreak and Smokescreen at the same time. But this is the price it looks like we are going to have to pay as our dollar drops. So it's either cough up or deal.

Didn't think of them. Fixed

Shouders are much more solid. I can honestly say that this shoulder issue on SS, which appears to have become the bane of your existance, does not exist on Prowl.

Good thing I didn't pay $70 for it then isn't it?

This line totally flew over my head as a kid, but watching it again as an adult doth make me grin.
