I wondered if that would be the case. That looks rubbish. Same facial expression too. Which doesn't bother me too much, since it looks less like he's dying and more like he's really pissed off - which, again, is very Marvel Comics-accurate...

Wait a minute. They've just used the exact shame 'smashed chest' panel as Ironhide. Lazy bastards! -Ralph Yeah. They could have at least included a mini battery powered smoke-machine gimmick in Prowls head, so you could REALLY get the whole smoking eye sockets look!

A Knightrider TF would be pretty cool.

If it's not a reworking of the Earthrise Sideswipe mold I'll be disappointed.

If the Knightrider car is as accurate as Ecto-1 and the BTTF Delorean, that's going to be one essential purchase.

I want a crossovers two-pack with the KLF's Ford Timelord and the Ice Cream van.

Knight Rider crossover? Is anyone else hoping for an update - or, dare I say reissue - of the 80s toy?

All they need to do to get a Knight Rider crossover is swap the colours of the 1986 Battlechargers around and put a little red sticker on black Runamuck's engine. As a bonus, white Runabout would be a crossover with The Spy Who Loved Me. I expect someone at Hasbro thought about making the Lotus Esprit white and the Pontiac Firebird black at the time these two came out but chickened out for trademark reasons. Martin

'Nemesis Prime Clench' sounds like something out of a new edition of the Kama Sutra.

I think that this looks like vehicle into two different robot characters

I don't think so. Jet transforms into Starscream AND Thundercracker? The only real difference between them is drastically different colorscheme. That's not interesting like the Skywarp/Megatron concept.
I'm betting it's some part swapping gimmick.

Is this going to be like those Squishmallows that... invaginated on themselves to form a different Squishmallow.

Squishmallows. Probably worth a Google.

Post by Philip Ayres on Apr 5, 2024 22:45:29 GMT
But probably safer than googling invaginated
I suspect it (or Shockprowl) means "Turn inside out"

It's the type of product designed to be handled, not put on a shelf and looked at. They're essentially novelty cuddly pillows.

Yes, I'd agree that they are for young folks - and for anyone else who might want to pick up and cuddle, talk to or otherwise interact with a plush creature. But I'd argue that the "like Funko Pops" is inaccurate, in that Funko Pops aren't aimed at younger folks, who are more likely to want to interact with their toys - I'd suggest Funko Pops are aimed at adults, who are more likely to want to put their toys on a shelf or a display case and look at them... To me your comparison seems more apples/oranges than plushy/plushy Karl

But probably safer than googling invaginated I suspect it (or Shockprowl) means "Turn inside out" In fairness, Invaginated is not something I really need to look up. It can be worked out fairly easily from first principles. (Mind you, I am fairly inurred to medical/anatomical conversations - when you've a relative who is a vet, and have had a partner who was a Red Cross volunteer one does come to a slightly different view of where the edges of "normal conversation" ends and where "unsuitable for over a cup of coffee" starts...
