Friday's Update

In turn of not reviewing the Ripclaw I will review my new Prowl that I got at TRU.



First off, it is true they are out, which is awesome to know. I saw all of them there except the Ultras and son on, though there was Legends...

Well Prowl, is a police car, but on his side doors it says Highway Patrol and Underneath it says Police. Mostly white paint with black going around the bottom half of the car. His rear wind shield is painted brownish, but the front and door windows have a foggy tint. His front lights are clear and his back lights are red. He also has a black spoiler on the back.

Transformation is a bit hard to explain since it does have a couple of steps that can be confusing, but it's a fair transformation, just watch out for the doors as they pop out easy and the arms have a lot of twisting and turning, and the doors don't help with that...His head comes out from the hood, doors turn into wings, arms fold from underneath, back half becomes legs, and the weapon is stored underneath car mode.

Robot mode, is awesome. It has a nice homage to the G1 counterpart. The head, wings, and shoulder blasters or as they call it Acid Blasters. The weapon folds out to become his gun. Articulation is nice. His shoulder have multiple of joints, though some are part of the transformation. His shoulders has swivel back and forth, hinged up and down, or do a 360 swivel, but limited because of the wings. There is another joint to allow in and out motion too. His biceps swivel and the elbow has one hinged joint. His wrist is a swivel. Swivel waist, ball joint hips, double knees, a rocker knee, but limited and also a forward/ backward hinge, also limited because of the car parts hindering it.

Overall this is an awesome figure, though my only complaint is the weapon storage. It folds up and the barrel part is help by two plastic prongs which is a bit wide for it to attach sturdy. If you shake the vehicle it will most likely fall off. But despite that I give him a high 10 out of 10. I really like this figure, both modes are great and you should pick him up! DTM out...
