I think that I will get the first Prowl, then I'm prepared if the sidecar is sold seperatly, prepared if the Prowl with Sidecar is a new mold and prepared to get two Prowls  

 

Lesse... Starscream clone army? Check... Samaurai Prowl? Check... Lockdown in a Poncho? Check...

Can safely say, this episode will be made of so much win!

 

I think I might buy the second lockdown also.
I'll display the original version of the characters with the rest of my animated stuff, and Put these two guys together on the top of my desk.


Although it all depends on how much money I have at the time.

 

I like that logic! 

 

It sounds like homage to Beast Machines drones with the Screamer clones (oh God, it rhymes!). The clones are just empty shells (no actual spark to power them).

I bet a million bucks that Skywarp and Thundercracker are going to be two Screamer clones that an Allspark fragment will bring to life (like the Dinobots, for example). Since they're clones of a Decepticon, they'll automatically take on personalities of Decepticons.

 

Sounds like a cool episode

 

I admit to being surprised that the only change to Prowl in the accessory piece. I was expecting him to color change with more white on him, or at least to have a white side car.

As for the Starscream question the initial one is already Thundercracker colors "pretty much", So I'd guess that the colors that would make sense for a Voyager class repaint is Skywarp and G1 / G2 Starscream colors on the Animated Voyager mold.

There seems to also be a developing tradition of Red Starscream mold toys - so maybe that mold might be made in a mainly red decration as a Thrust or Ramjet homage eventually.

If they did do Thundercracker I would state that a lighter shade would be needed to differentiate it from the Standard Voyager Starscream.

It's also possible that Hasbro might decide to use other color patterns on the other Starscream Molds eventually -much as the FAB and Legends movie toys typically have distinct colors for their repaints.

So perhaps Activators Starscream might become Ramjet/Thrust/Dirge and the Voyager one become Skywarp and G1 color Starscream - with the original one standing in as a surrogate Thundercracker in play terms.

 

Sounds like a really cool episode. The wait for it is going to be a little tough. From what I can see of Prowl's armour, it looks pretty cool. Here's hoping the toy version of it looks just as cool in both armour and side-car modes. Too bad it's a one episode thing though. As for the clones of Starscream, it's not all that surprising. From what we've seen of Skywarp and Thundercracker, they are good homages to their origional color schemes, and T-cracker is different enough from Starscream to make sense.

 

Well and due to the fact the current starscream is purple and thundercrackers is blue it should work out fine.

 

The info I got from a fellow board member who was at Botcon, the sidecar will be sold by itself, and at the Deluxe price-point. Though like all things Hasbro says, it could change before the actual release of it, but hopefully it doesn't.

The odd thing is that Starscream has been appearing more of a grey color on the show the past couple of episodes. Personally I think of him as being a blue-ish grey color. Nothing againgst you, I just don't see anything purple about him. The more I look at the toy, the more I think I probably won't get him, as he just looks too blue compared to the animation model. It'll probably come down to an in-person decision.

 

I figured he'd get something samurai-esque. Let's hope this translates well to toy form.

 

Looking forward to this ep. I find it a coincidence that this popped up on Lance Henrikson's b-day

 

Hmmmm...

This episode begs a question that I'm surprised that on one has asked yet. How did Starscream get escape from the Elite Guard? I hope it's explained at some point.

The armor does look good and so does the Clone so I await even more repaints that are used in the show.

 

Episode looks pretty sweet! Prowl looks wicked and nice to see G1 SS!

Thanks for posting!

 

So wait, this ep airs on May 31st? Sweet! Early B-Day present. I'm thinking I'm going to get both versions of Prowl, considering he's uber awesome and would like something to take to DC this summer

 

A few possibilities...

1. Megatron's double agent got him out - after all, he can't risk Starscream talking. Starscream was the number two guy - he probably knows a lot about Deceptivon logistics.

2. Sentimel Prime's incompetence. Which is what my gut tells me.

 

I didn't read the thread because of the spoiler infestation, just wanted tos ay thanks again for the pics Magmatron.  

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Botcon people said that Thundercracker and Skywarp will not be part of the clone army, so I suppose if they ever do make an appearance, they will be actual Decepticons.

 

Looks like someone needs to ask Hasbro at Toronto next month for a final answer on this.
