    I liked this. The only thing I would have talked about here is that this mold doesn't stand up very well. Sometimes I get it, other times I just have the wing rest against a wall/another bot just to keep it stable.

    I liked it. My Prowl's doors fall off. Silverstreak's too. In fact, I think Silverstreak's door sockets might be ever so slightly cracked.

    My Prowl got really really bad... and I had been planning to replace him, but he had disappeared from shelves. :(  Luckily, my mom unwittingly had picked one up for me for Christmas, not knowing I already had him... or that I wanted another. So that new one's on my shelf with customed rockets (silver sharpie yay!) and the other... I'm trying to figure out how to get the paint off him. :p

    Cool! Check the Radicons section here for tips on that sort of thing :D 

    Hopefully my transformation will help you keep those doors on next time you mess with the toy. It's always worked for me, on all three versions of the mold!

    I probably could have gone my whole life and never have known that thing about the feet being able to pull down. XD I tried it and I have to say it does help a lot in keeping the figure from falling over so often.

    Thanks man.

    Nice vid. What I like to do is clear coat the part with a sticky paint problem.

    Awesome idea, I can't wait to see the rest. One thing, that's 90 degrees, not 180. :)

    cool do more. I never even noticed the feet pull down. The doors/ wings are a pain don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I dont even see why they needed to have them fold as 2 pieces, G1 prowl dad some of the best arm articulation of any of the autobot and his doors just folded out, but mad the rest of him was a block

    I originally just got my Prowl so I could mod him into an IDW-ish Prowl design (which I have) but on my customizing campaign, I actually really like him. He's kinda bland right out of the box, but he's still decent.
