    Well after hoping we would get Prowl and then getting Smokescreen on the show I decided to go my own route. I used one of the millions of the "yellow plague" as a base and modified his head. I sculpted the original Bee face and added the crests by cutting and gluing sheet styrene, then giving it a nice metallic red paint job. I tried to give him a "Prime" vibe along with a homage to Animated Prowl. I kind of think that Prime is the melding of Classics and Animated, so why not make Prowl the same way. All of his markings are custom printed decals. I'm not happy with the piece still located behind his head, but I didn't want to remove it just yet either. As always, constructive criticism and comments are welcome.

    Very nice, shame the fan made characters for that mold works better than the character it was meant for.

    Looks great.

    I think I said it before, but I am surprised we haven't seen more Door Wing Brothers customs out of Bumblebee.

    i like this alot. is there a way to add a larger spoiler on back end of vehicle mode? i think that would further differentiate prowl from bee. it looks great either way.

    I could definitely add a larger spoiler with some styrene to diferentiate him from Bee. That's a pretty good idea. Maybe on V2.
