    AWESOME figure. Those blue windows look amazing. This is a MP I would consider.

    He's going to look awesome next to Trailbreaker or whoever they plan on releasing.

    Eh, I’m not really into a lot of these reprints they keep doing. I mean, it’s fine and all but the blue windows look a bit off, particularly the painted bits. I think the original version looks better.

    Sideswipe turned out okay (minus the lack of Lamborghini decals and the lack of red on the rear bumper) and Red Alert looks decent to albeit a bit bland compared to the original, but it’s a bit disappointing that they just keep doing these repaints and including the exclusive accessories (which are usually kinda garbage Sideswipe, but I do like those mission launchers) instead of something more interesting.

    I’m not under any illusion that these repaints are taking away from new moulds but it’s still kind of a bummer to see them pad the line out like this.

    Still, it’s nice to have options and good for those who missed out on the originals like I did with Sideswipe (plus I love Sideswipe’s windows in blue and the bigger chest insignia).

    Hrk! Just when I consider getting the original MP-17 for later down the line, this shows up!

    And I got MP-12+ for Christmas last year!

    Argh, feeling...urge...to wait...for MP-17+...to retain...consistency!

    yeah, it's kind of weird because in the 86 movie prowl had dead eyes before prime did...

    one thing about this the last 2 "+" figures have been because of being a cartoon partner to a certain release

    inferno and red alert (+)
    sunstreaker and sideswipe(+)

    not sure if i'm remembering wrong but was prowl and jazz shown together quite a bit in the cartoon ? pretty sure they were?

    So he has blue windows instead of gray, blue headlights instead of silver, brighter red and orange, red blinkers instead of orange, white biceps instead of gray, different color gray, different color white, no door text, white instead of silver gun, white side mirrors, larger and cartoon based Autobot symbol, no Nissan logo coloration, gray instead of black bumpers, gray instead of white waist details, black section near front wipers is white instead of black, and shoulder cannons are silver like the toy instead of black.

    Overall he seems pretty nice. Lacking the text stinks, but I feel the rest of the changes are mostly improvements on an already great deco.

    Looks alright. I don't mind losing some of the detailed decos but painting over sculpted headlights and badges is going too far. What irritates me more is that Takara has, again, failed to deliver a set of 1984 cars that look like they belong together. There are 11 deluxes, 6 minibots, and 1 truck. By the time they finish doing + releases of everybody, Mirage will go back to Hasui style or do something else entirely different.

    They wouldn't put out a set of TFC boxes. They wouldn't put out a set of Encore boxes. They wouldn't go all the way on Binaltech. They couldn't do it with Henkei/United. And now they won't finish Masterpiece either. Just gets old after awhile.

    And I much rather would've seen a redo of Wheeljack if they had to go that route.

    I still need the Sideswipe+ edition. I can never pass on a Prowl figure, so this is a must buy. Plus I can't let myself fall any further behind on MPs.

    God dammit.

    I read the thread title and assumed/hoped it was the G1 MP in sweet TFA black and gold colours.

    This is infinitely less interesting.
