Take a look at Alternators Prowl, with a riot club as his primary weapon. :\

I have to agree about prowl, he's just big fat and blocky. His head is ok, car mode is nice except for the standard irky "police" down his doors, but to me his robot mode is just ......dare I say it, worse than tracks with his bonnet cape down the back and all.
I would have preferred they kept to the same chest type that smokey,jazz and grimlock have...or maybe if he was posed properly he might look better
Maybe the repaint can make this mold look a bit better, but if not I probably wont be buying it.
Yay for swerve's head though lol he should look good atleast

Kinda like a $20/£20 spychanger.Originally posted by Knightdramon
His robot mode is...odd. He is the first to feature such a chest panel,
I think it's partly a case of bad lighting and posing, though.
Drag Strip looks rather cheap without that effective spray effect—anything in that shade of yellow does, really.
Prowl's an oversized Spychanger.
For those who didn't notice yet:
Cybertron toys have bios on the back of their packaging again!

With everything trilingual? Nah, bet we'll get screwed like the G2 stuff - don't get me wrong, the G2 bios generally sucked like Tera Patrick on double time, but they were better than a tiny headshot, with

written on it.
Does it show that I was taught in foregin languages by one C. Claremont, Tovarisch?

Yup. The German part says "FUNCTION [spelled wrong], INCREDIBLE: Mr. car".
And the part above that would be the French equivalent of "Karr".

Summed up what I would've said really, had I seen this thread sooner. I'm more interested in Prowl than Drag Strip...unless they change than yellow. What's the problem with Prowl having a nightstick for a weapon? Looks like he'll have a pistol and he's at least better armed than Windcharger.
