Title:
Prowl
Description:
• RID111
• Mach Alert (2000) / Prowl (Deluxe Class, 2001)
• Takara ID number: C-003
• Accessories: Left & right ”Booster Parts” thrusters, 2 flame-missiles
Released first as part of the Car Robots series, ”Mach Alert” transforms into a Lamborghini Diablo police highway pursuit vehicle painted in Japanese police ministry colors. He also has rubber tires over silver vacuum-metalized wheels. In robot mode, he is armed with two pressure-launch missile launchers with flame-shaped projectiles. These launchers are mounted upon his right arm in robot mode, but can also be mounted on his sirens, to form a sort of jetpack. In vehicle mode, they can be mounted on two pegs located on his spoiler.
Early versions of Mach Alert used an almost completely transparent colorless plastic for its windows and flame missiles, with semi-transparent paint on the flames. Later releases used a darker clear-plastic with brighter, more opaque flame-paint.
Released a year later by Hasbro as ”Prowl”, this version uses the darker clear-plastics/opaque flame-paint combo, but also adds an Autobot faction symbol to his hood. Yes, they kept the Japanese on the doors.
Sonokong also released this figure in a gift set with his brothers in South Korea. This version of Prowl has ”POLICE” in English instead of Japanese on the car doors.
This mold was also used to make Universe Inferno and the Universe versions of Generation 1 Sideswipe and Sunstreaker.
