Transformers! Pt.3

Yeah so the latest craze in the Transformers universe is Transformers Animated, which sees a re-imagining of the Transformers fans all know and love in a new look.

A very different look actually. And of course a very different background story which takes a main plot device from Transformers: The Movie (the live action one).

Being a fan myself I couldn't resist purchasing the toys (I prefer the term collectibles actually) when they were released. So here's some pics of my recent purchase...presenting...Autobot Prowl!

Box front

Side view. Notice Bumblebee there?
Most of the well known characters are back!

A big difference from the classic G-1 Prowl (which was a police car)

Nicely secured

Prowl's weapons: traffic light nunchuck and throwing star(s)

Autobot logo at the front
Notice the defect on the plastic at the front, normal for Hasbro QC

Prowl in police superbike mode

Prowl in robot mode

Close up of his head area
Notice the slight defect on top of his head, might be due to the mold

On the bright side, he's very posable!

WAAAACHHHHAAAAAA!!!

Say hello to my traffic light!

Are you feeling lucky today Decepticon?

The only problem I can see from this wave of Transformer Animated releases is the QC level. Hasbro's QC has always been lower than Takara but this time around...it's pretty bad. It's most apparent in Bumblebee as his entire body is in different shades of yellow...ugh! Hasbro, please improve your QC!

But anyway, I'll be looking forward to the next wave of releases...OH YEAH! =P
