    I like his boxart better than any other yet seen in this line, excepting anyone with a facemask.

    Not even seekers? Bluestreak/Prowl were right there as some of the original repaints maing, it's totally a get out of jail free card scenario

    And sometimes the repaints look even cooler. Personally I think this is one of the times. Prowl is cool but this guy is just more visually striking

    But by all means, leave em on the shelves, one more for (hopefully) kids and collectors

    Easy buy for me. I love this mold. It's a terrific udate to the original. At least this time, unlike in alternators/bt, they remembered that Prowl and Streak were the same car! he looks much nicer then prowl IMO. Will Snag him as soon as I see him!

    in a case like this were they were designed with the repaints in mind (and it's even technically a remold since it loses the lightbar) I'm more then ok with it. especially when it looks this good...
    you say that like just about every new mold since at least RiD hasn't been repainted 2x (or more)...
    ;)

    well, Hot Shot had the cancelled Smokescreen redeco, and didn't they use Wheeljack for a botcon figure (+ the Takara version had a different/show accurate deco) :D 

    oh, and wasn't there a cancelled Wheeljack Drench homage with that cancelled Smokescreen?
    lol

    maybe they were even supposed to be a "battle in a box" set IIRC
    edit: looked it up, i guess the Botcon Sideswipe was the Drench paint mask.

    Eh...not impressed with the Prowl mold, between the squishy paint and the doors falling off more than the Alt. Mustangs. Probably pass...unless it's one of those weeks where I just need a fix.

    Eh, the two figures have had scheduled repaints, but in the end, Hot Shot's only one was Powerlinx Hot Shot, and for Wheeljack it was this year's Botcon. And if we start counting Takara as repaints.. well then... XD
