Tokyo Toy Show Exclusives Revealed: Elite Guard Prowl and Dreadwind/Smokescreen

nice, is that prowl an exclusive or mass release?

Man, I want Dreadwind/Smokscreen.

EDIT: Oops, I guess that's supposed to be; Man, I want Dreadwind/Smokejumper.

I'm not sure, but evidently due to his new paint job he lost the ability to jump or have rhythm.

I do to. I love all that blue. Doesn't hurt that those are two of some of the best (not necessarily THE best) molds to come from the ROTF line either.

Interesting choice for a Mindwipe repaint. Good to see a Skystalker repaint in the same paint theme, but the name Smokescreen doesn't fit it, imho. If Hasbro releases a similar repaint of Mindwipe, I might get it to turn into Soundwave (all it really needs is a new head and some yellow and purple accents).

Elite Guard Prowl looks nice. It's not likely to happen, but a release of that repaint in the Generations line would be cool, and probably something I would buy.

That EG Prowl looks a lot like the original color concept of the character, though I'm a little surprised it's the original version with the traffic light of uselessness instead of the Samurai Armor (or maybe the Jap. Animated series hasn't gotten to that point yet).

Dreadwind and Smokescreen, while a brilliant use of those two figures, the blue seems to be overly blinding. I hope that's a PS job.

That's a gorgeous color on the jets, but they need some yellow accents to better evoke Dreadwing and Smokescreen.

Once again: Must. Have. Prowl. If anybody sees a pre-order or will be able to get hold of one, please PM me!

Damn, I thought the show had actually started.

Do you realize what it's homaging? Any other name would be inaccurate.

cant wait to get that dreadwind and smokescreen.

that little dino droid is sweet too!

Available for purchase at Toy Show. 2 per person.
Left overs will be selling at e-hobby as web exclusive. 1 per person. For web purchase payments only money orders will be accepted.
Don't know if TakaraTomy Asia will have it or not.

Oh man i really want the dreadwind/smokescreen. So perfect for the type of thing. Beautiful colors too.

i think the that prowl is ok but i would rather see that done with samurai prowl though.

also who is this going to be?

It is a TECOLOGY Tomica Mitsubishi i-MiEV command car from the fire department. It has a mini power generator and need no battery to run. Lights flashes as well.
Not Transformer.

That Dreadwing/Smokescreen set is beyond nice. I really wouldn't mind getting my hands on that set.

Ditto. I absolutely love the way that looks.

I want that little red Miev.

is it just because they're in japanese? or are japanese sites really strange?

change dreadwing to "soundwave" and "smokescreen" to ""rumble"" hahaha....

It's white are we sure this isn't the ghost version?(Kidding)

The names are DreadwinG and Smokescreen. It's got a G, people.

The useless traffic light accessory is really a letdown. The Samurai mold would have done this repaint justice.

Samurai Prowl is not yet on TV.

Im happy with the exclusives shown but damn...Can Takara send one of there fuckin workers
to the back of the warehouse and grab them Henkei Nemesis...Get the fuck off your azz
and release them BITCHES.

They're all Tokyo Toy Show 2010 exclusives.

for reference
2008　 Henkei Convoy clear(transrucent) Ver.
2009　 Optimus Prime Revenge Edition (Voyager ROTF OP without Kanji paint)
2010 Animated EG Prowl / Dreadwing & Smokescreen

That Prowl is Nice! A G1-homage paintjob would have been even sweeter but nevertheless, I'm still gonna try to hunt one down... *wishful thinking*

Hasbro has gotta release that Mindwipe repaint as Sounwave over here.

And Prowl is awesome.
It's a good thing that he comes with an Elite Guard traffic light, too.

Are you joking?
How is a White and Black Prowl complete with a red helmet crest not a G1 homage?

Damn I love that blue. Both of those dudes look kickass

I'm glad it's not really Dreadwind. If it was in G1 Dreadwind colors I would have to buy it. But since it's in the crappy G2 colors & can just laugh it at, laugh at all the people who are gonna waste money on it & click off.

It should have been in sunstorm colors... But I never got mindwipe and I welcome all colors of Skystalker

That is the Prowl we should have gotten in the first place.

I was upset when I first saw the concept art for him because that's how I would have liked to see him in the show.

Now that this version of him is coming out I want it, but I'm upset once again because he will be an exclusive.

Hopefully he gets released in the US, but I highly doubt it.

Oh well I guess it wasn't meant to be.

That prowl is cool
usually I don't have a big problem when a name is redesignated, but I'm having a hard time with smokescreen. I like the concept, call it bb and starscream.

that EG Prowl is full of win

Hasbro has gotta release that Mindwipe repaint as Dreadwing/Smokescreen over here

Hmm. I thought the repaint was an homage to Gigant Bomb and Smokesniper. At least that's who I thought of them as when the RotF figures were first shown.

Oh...my...GOD....


G2 Dreadwing & Smokescreen

The Dread Wing looks cool but the Prowl doesn't win it for me

I would love to get a Prowl but with it being an exclusive and overseas I don't doubt it will have a higher price tag then what I am willing to pay.

Holy shit, a new animated figure, and the colour scheme looks to be based on early designs. Nice!

don't get me wrong, i love me some hip hop...

but why were all of the g2 commercials ripped straight out of Yo! MTV RAPS?

Movies & Sumokusukurin 』Doreddouingu 5,500 yen

Yep Dreadwing.

If anyone is going to the Tokyo Toy Show, can you please pick me up a Elite Guard Prowl? PM me. I will pay you instantly.

Dreadwing & Smokescreen

vs.

Gigant Bomb & Smokesniper

Compare those to the new images.

Yellow in place of red on the Mindwipe/Skystalker repaints would be homaging Robotmasters Gigant Bomb & Smokesniper, not G2 Dreadwing & Smokescreen. There's no yellow on G2 DW/SS.

Ah, okay. Makes sense now.

Urgh. Nasty blue repaint of a figure that was already gorgeous yet failed to release in the UK...

Collecting transformers in the UK is such a joke, I don't know why I bother.

I like the repaint of Prowl but I don't like the gold on it. Maybe they should have gone with Black the add some white on his shoulders to break up the all black arms.

The Mindwipe repaint should have been named Scourge

Urgh want the blue Skystalker so bad...that thing is gonna go for big bucks online tho...

I like the Mindwipe/Skystalker redecos, but the price is a bit prohibitive for me...

And at the end of the commercial didn't it seem that the Decepticons just killed those two Autobots and were now going to kill the kid?

I remember thinking that CG was awesome back in the day though.

So many people not getting the Smokescreen/Dreadwing homage makes me very sad
