Not just the forehead, the whole headsculpt is new for each of them.Seibertron wrote:I didn't realize that the forehead crest was remolded differently for Prowl, Smokescreen and Bluestreak. Kudos to Takara Tomy for paying attention to that small detail. That's awesome!

Not just the head, but the colouring too, at first glaqnce it looks like a Junkion that turns into a car. Pretty cool in that retro sort of way.
And yes a remold/ repaint of Prowl into this would be pretty cool.

Technically it's not an urban legend but the Diaclone version and I suspect someone will do it as an exclusive after Tigertrack was released.

This is how I've always pictured him in my imagination and how I've always wished him to be made as!
He's gorgeous! He is a must buy, well for me he is, not sure about anyone else. Okay, fan girl moment done.
But he really does look amazing, the colours, the build, it all looks as close to perfect as you can ever get for a Transformer.

I've waited close to thirty years for this guy, ever since I had the original G1 Smokescreen as my first Transformer almost thirty years ago.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up for me perfectly .
I never had him as a kid unfortunately (I gots him now though of course ) but he was always my favorite Autobot car.

Cuz Prowl isn't the same height as Optimus in the cartoon. He's shorter, so he get's a shorter toy.Judas_Warlord wrote:These two are barely 6 inches tall. Why are they starting to downsize the Masterpiece figures?
The new MPs are scaled to the official cartoon scale guide, so as to create a better sense of uniformity among the figures. It also lets Prowl fit inside Prime's trailer.
Full Size

I felt that way initially, too, when my MP Sideswipe arrived. Now that I've had him for several months, it doesn't bother me anymore. He's still better than any previous version of him. I'm also really enjoying Prowl. I cannot wait for Bluestreak and Smokey to finally arrive!
If downsizing them means more MP Cars and Mini-Cars, that's a trade-off I can live with.

Looks like there might be a little clip on the roof that it could possible be inserted into.mooncake623 wrote:Where does his gun go in alt mode? hm...

Streaker is looking great especially with that clear sun roof effect, a nice way to differetiate (word of the day!) him from his car brothers!

Yes they do (please forgive the use of a TFW pic but it was the clearest head shot I could find, I will do my penance later)

Yesterday I noticed that Prowl eyes are painted light blue, kind of like Hasbro's MP-10. I love that.

Prowl, Bluestreak and UN31 United Beast Megatron for $155 shipped. Glad I went with hlj instead of BBTS on this one, saved quite a few $$$

The only minor issue that I have with Bluestreak's head sculpt is that his mouth is close. It would have been nice if he looked like he was talking. I mean he is called Bluestreak for a reason.

Too bad I already put all my MP preorders in at TFsource... all the way through Ultra Magnus...
Posted by Arctorro on October 24th, 2013 @ 10:18pm CDT
Shame, I have Wheeljack, Bumblebee and Ultra Magnus pre-ordered with BBTS just to guarantee I get them and when/if HLJ put them up I will just cancel the BBTS pre-orders.megatronus wrote:Arctorro wrote:Tell me about it! hlj.com takes priority for all my MP purchases from now on.

TFsource was reacting to BBTS's announcements so they don't lose out on pre-orders. I don't believe Takara has officially announce wheeljack, bumblebee, or Ultra Magnus. That is my understanding anyway.

Congrats. I've got a somewhat smaller POL, so I'm waiting for some more stuff to drop ito it before hitting 'ship' on it. I can wait, though.

Can't remeber the last time I was this excited to get receive a figure.
