Transformers Animated Prowl


Got Prowl from OG Albert PP today. Luckily had the OG card with me, so I still enjoyed a 10% discount, too bad it was not applicable for the 20% discount. Overall, pretty close to the show counterpart. As for articulation, most of the major joints are articulated, though the thigh joints were kind of loose and certain joints could use more articulation.
Prowl's alternate mode is that of a motorbike complete with sirens. Overall, quite nicely done. Had wanted to get another loose Prowl to serve as the Masterchief's mode of transport since I thought the scale was quite applicable, but in truth, the MCF Masterchief is just too big to fit nicely, tried it out and the MC looked like he was riding a kiddy bike.

Don't have the above-mentioned as I want to spare you guys the agony of the 2 together.

Trust me on this
Accessory wise, Prowl comes with 2x 3-bladed throwing stars. These fold up and store on the wheels like some sort of hubcaps. Only gripe with this is that the fit is a tad too tight, had to nearly resort to prying it out with a screwdriver when I want to take out the accessory.

Prowl also comes with a............... Traffic Light that has a string and cheap looking plastic handle attached to it which for reasons unexplainable, is not shown here.
Ok, actually, I can't be bothered to take it out of the packaging bubble as it's utterly horrible.

It's supposed to be some sort of 'chain weapon' but seriously, it looks nothing like a weapon. I'd rather they include a kitchen sink instead of this traffic light. Another minus point is that the string is attached wrongly if I might say so.
It's attached at the green light side of the traffic light...
If it was at the side of the red light, I could have used it as a nifty traffic light, but hanging it now makes the green go top-side and the red taking last place. Definately something that can be improved, IMHO.

All in all, Prowl is a decent piece to get save for the grossly misplaced (unneccessary) traffic light.
