    Seeing him is all about anyone can do

    But in all seriousness, that’s my currently most wanted figure by far. Shame Walmart sucks. Glad for the folks who managed to get it without having to pay scalper prices. Prowl looks like a suitable substitute for the Earthrise version. Soundwave’s cyberverse design is one of the best imo, but this figure doesn’t really capture that. I already didn’t care for Starscream, so that’s that.

    Prowl looks great, but oh man that backpack outline on Soundwave... I actually think Warrior class Soundwave looks better.

    I guess he was confusing them with the Warrior figures? Also to add to the question, perhaps they feel cheaper since most of them use ball joints rather than the current leg set up you'd find in WFC figures. which doesn't use ball joints. Plastic quality might be debatable though, since it might look cheap, but i'm unsure if they FEEL cheap.

    I stand corrected and baffled, because I'm pretty sure these figures have a lesser part count than any WFC Deluxe. Even these new ones without BAF parts are blatantly simpler

    I'm only have Bumblebee, so I can't comment on the rest

    The plastic is a bit transparent, but no more so than the T30 figure, there's a very slight pearlescent effect on the plastic under certain light, and it's molded a bit thin in parts

    But overall it's actually very sturdy and holds up despite multiple transfomations, tabs and locking parts in vehicle mode is tight and feel wise it feels similar to siege hound, which unfortunately some parts of my hound have chips, and the front number came off while in storage as of the plastic is a little brittle

    I'm not afraid of any breakages on bumblebee at all in comparison, but transfoming hound makes me worried because of the ankles and leg joints

    I like this Prowl more than the Earthrise one.

    Non-transclearant legs FTW!

    Hmm do I hope they miss-transformed Soundwave and the butt skirt is supposed to collapse on his back?
