Prowl:

(Side note: Hasbro must really like this mold. This is like the tenth time it's gotten remolded, and the fourth for this line alone.)

Strika:

Prowl's been at my target for about a month.

Yeah, I've seen Prowl around here, too. I am so damn sick of seeing that toy.

I don't like the colors of sideburn or strika.

Is Strika supposed to be small? I like his mould, may get one. For whatever reason, I've taken a shine to smaller bots.

What the heck is Strika supposed to be?

The Prowl one's been done 10 times? Do you have a list of those. I'm curious about that one. Hate the big, ugly insignia on the hood.

I wish they wouldn't use that awful Sideburn mold. It looks like they've only recolored the car mode anyway. The robot mode is only Super Sideburn.

No comment on Strika.

And I'm sure there's a few exclusives I'm forgetting.

OK. I admit it. Stuff like this goes through my brain like s*it through the goose. It's not something I'm proud of.

Still, it doesn't really go a long way towards disproving my point...

Nah, it's just that our resident news-hound should be the last person to mess up his facts, is all. Eh, so long as that's the worst mistake you make, it's all good.

Though if you mix them up again, I'll be obliged to point it out again...

Well, yeah. It is. I mean, when one name goes unaltered while the other gets an annoying "Autobot" tagged onto it, which one am I likely to remember, huh?

True. Especially when most people call him Red Alert anyway.

If you want, I could remind you about those newbies a year or so back that were totally convinced that you were a girl...or how you jumped the gun in the RPG a while ago and got all of your 'Cons locked away in Fort Max...and I'm sure I could find something shameful in the AWF if I looked hard enough...

And he was supposed to...till Hasbro make their weekly screw up.

I think that reminding me would be enough.

Now...let's get back to the point...

Okay, it's safe to say I WON'T be purchasing Strika...........EVER! lol

Sideswipe · Post by **Sideswipe** » Wed Jan 07, 2004 10:51 am

What the hell. Prowl looks like the original original mach alert with a honking big sutobot symbol on its hood

Sideswipe · Post by **Sideswipe** » Wed Jan 07, 2004 10:57 am

The sideburn looks ok

King Fargo · Post by **King Fargo** » Thu Jan 08, 2004 8:50 am

If the Sideburn mould didn't have so much "baggage" hanging from it, and they'd painted the bumpers black, I'd buy that in an instant.

GuyverJazz · Post by **GuyverJazz** » Thu Jan 08, 2004 1:54 pm

I've gotta say I do like the Sideburn repaint, but the Prowl stinks of laziness. Strika is pants, though he seems to be some mutant cross between a moon buggy and a tank!

OK, you're listing the takara versions as well. That makes sense. You might be thinking of clear mach as well, which leaves one more to figure out.
