Title:

Transformers-Prowl

Description:
Prowl (September 28, 2013)

Japanese ID number: MP-17

Accessories: Semi-automatic Rifle, missile launcher (Amazon.co.jp only)

Masterpiece Prowl transforms into a licensed Nissan Fairlady 280Z-T. As with other figures in the Masterpiece line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his cartoon model, and even features an extensive glossy white and black paint scheme. Roughly as tall as a Voyager Class figure, he is also in scale with MP-10 Optimus Prime, and can fit inside Prime’s trailer in vehicle mode. In contrast to previous larger entries in this line, Prowl lacks die-cast parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic. There are some issues concerning aligning the car’s roof onto the body of the figure. In order to properly attach the back/roof top of the mold, the mid chest panel located in front of the torso must be tilted slightly forward and attached to the small indentation under the figure’s ”car hood”. This will allow the back frame to straighten and get the two pegs on the windshield to lock into the two slots at the back of the car hood.For accessories, he comes with his rifle, which can be held with his hands, or can mount onto a peg-hole on the back of his light-bar via the separate peg on its jointed handle. He also comes with a pair of built-in shoulder cannons, based on Bluestreak’s cartoon character model’s cannons, that can be deployed in robot mode. Prowl’s instructions even feature a screencap from the cartoon that depicts Prowl with the launchers; however, that is actually an animation error from the very first episode that has Bluestreak (with his very distinctive head design) colored as Prowl.If purchased in Japan through Amazon.com, one additionally gets a single non-firing toy-accurate missile launcher accessory, which can cover and replace either of his shoulder cannons, as well as tab onto the rear sides of his vehicle mode. If purchased in other Asian markets outside of Japan, a collector coin is included instead of or in addition to the launcher. The coin itself is star-shaped, and comes in a package shaped like a police badge.This mold was redecoed and retooled each time into MP-18 Streak and MP-19 Smokescreen. Streak and Prowl were to be released simultaneously, but Prowl was pushed back one month and Streak two months to meet demand.
