Should Mrs Shockprowl consider investing in a costume along the same lines?

Hmmm, no. Nice idea Nickos, I see where you're comming from. But I don't want to have sex with Prowl, and I don't want to be Prowl really. I just admire Prowl. He's like Captain Kirk. A hero. An icon. A champion!
Now an Arcee costume? Yes, that could work...

Yeah, Mrs Shockprowl doesn't like you anymore, Nickos. She used to think you were sensible, but now she says you're encouraging me too much where 3P toys are concerned. She didn't seem to mind the costume thing though...

And that is this figure in a nutshell. At least the legs look nice a solid. Could do with clear windscreens. Why are we missing proper cockpits in the MP line? It's just weak. It's all covered in the MP-Line Speculation thread, but this is becoming too much like Classics. |

I will, but I fear, Nickos, you're on the list with Big Phil now!
Prowl and Bluestreak have different crotches.

Hey... Where do the door windows go in robot mode? I imagine they'll be hinged to the door and fold down. The latest pics don't show them really aligned correctly in alt mode. Or is that just me?

Looks like the launchers fold back under the roof section in robot mode. You can just see them in one of the pics.

Looks like there's a connection on the lower back edge of the window, so they actually connect to the legs and fold up behind the feet. See in this pic, you can see it clearly on Bluestreak's Left (stage right) foot... ec2.images-amazon.com/images/I/71cvIclwhZL._AA1100_.jpgedit: would have been neato if they had them slide down into the door, by extending a peg beneath the window and a slot in the inner side of the door. |

That would have been awesome! But prob too much to ask.
You have the eyes of a hawk, Stom! Do you have the ears of a puma as well? (what was that from?)

Rubbish, MPs by definition should achieve such features. I also have the STRENGTH OF THE BEAR!!! (edit: That horse sounds kinda familiar...) |

Ears of the wolf, m'dear Shockprowl. Speed of the puma. Eyes of the hawk and, as stomski noted, strength of the bear.
The design Takara has come up with doesn't seem to have any fewer parts than the design you had in mind- perhaps they would have made the doors too thick and would have spoiled the aesthetics, or it would have made the new toys look dissimilar to the originals that had very thin doors.

Ears of the WOLF! Of course!!!
Skin of the Eel, hair of the Goat, testicles of the Wilderbeast.
Yes, yes yes, too thick doors would not have been good. Heck, he could have a sign oh his back say "I hate William Shatner" and I'd still love him.
Launchers. Built in launchers. Lovely head crest (we'd settled on 'crest', hadn't we?). Nice. Lovely. Beefy. White. So so logical.... Big gun! Hasn't he? yeah.

Just preordered both, if I can get both shipped from HLJ together, even being cuta'd should get them for under £50 each.
Having seen more photos I dont like how far apart of the legs are in some poses the hips seem too far apart. MP10 has the same issue and I guess any toy will have the odd pose that doesnt quite work.
Some of those poses look spectacular.
