Concept Art for Animated Prowl

Ja... Animated Prowl's traffic light accessory = Epic Fail.
But the shuriken weapons = win!

More info from Wyatt

A toy of Prowl with side car is certainly coming, Wyatt says it looks great. Other info regarding Animated Beachcomber and animated season 3 in the same section.

The traffic light sucks, but the design is IMO easily the best amongst the Animated toys.

Which is why I'm holding out until Prowl gets released with the sidecar armour.

Only just found the bits you are referring to about season 3 not yet getting the greenlight, and the Prowl Sidecar toy, because they were in the replies section.

Season 3 hasn't even been officially announced yet, so it's still quite a ways off.
The side car is coming! It looks totally perfect too. Hasbro and Takara did a fantastic job on that one.

I find it strange that with how long it would take to do a season from scratch, that not having a third season in production yet means a long way off until we see it on screen. Maybe Hasbro's priority at this stage is the Movie, and if the Animated cartoon goes into production now, it would be airing at the time of the Movie and divide their marketting resources.
Pity if they are holding off on a 3rd season of Animated so that it doesn't come out until after the next movie. That's a long wait to see some new Animated toys and characters given life onscreen.

But it is good to hear that the Prowl sidecar hasn't been scrapped (thought it might be due to nothing being heard about it for a while). I still fear that it will just be released with a non-recoloured Prowl toy, forcing some of us to either skip it or get a duplicate.

Interesting to see that DW was working on his Prowl character design way back in 2003.

Maybe they're following Bay's lead with the constant stream of mis-information...

Directors commonly do that to control spoiler leakage. Not sure what the point of doing it with a non-movie related toyline would be. Hrmmm...
