What if the Alt Prowl was is a Homage to this guy. I have this toy put I didn't realize his Bio basically says he is Prowl down to the dry sense of Humor.

Still prefer my BT version w/ the grey parts over the baby blue. Also still hightly recommend the leg mod to give it a more G1ish look. But I do like the decals on the hood. BT Prowl does look too plain for my tastes. Hoping reprolabels.com can get me some labels pretty quickly, then I have the best of both the BT and the Alt versions.

Oh god those blue legs suck. The black/dark grey legs look better. I hope the figures I ordered from BBTS have the dark legs, cause if they don't I'm sending the damn things back and going with the BT version.

This is the best vehicle mode comparison since Silverstreak, Grimlock and Tracks. Forget the decals. The car mode looks just as good as the BT version. The only issue for me is the engine isn't as detailed. I still can't believe the extras the gave the Alt version though. Unlike the Sunstreaker that's coming out. I seriously hope the give Streaker more paint apps or yellow plastic parts.

Actually they didn't remove an details, they stayed faithful to the Acura. The Honda Integra Type-R has a different looking engine than the Acura RSX Type-S.

Only thing they didn't put on is the i-vtec logo and the Acura logo. Also parts of it were changed to baby blue but that's because they changed practically every single dark grey part to baby blue.

I have all 3 production versions, BT Police, BT Blue and Alternator Prowl. I have to say I like the blue BT over the police one. It is very plain. Then the Alt Prowl came and fufilled what I had hoped this line would do for prowl. There is not one thing I do not like about the Alt version. The baby blue was a throw off when i opened it up, however, it's kinda grown on me really fast. I think color is a good thing. Grey is a dominant color in the line and its nice to see some other color choices, since there are some cars out there with colors other then grey  :thumb

I don't like both modes of one... I mean, I think the alt CAR version is better, more close to the G1 one, and BOT mode of BT one is better in my opinion, so.. I buy both or nothing.

    • Please tell me this won't be the only release of TFP Cliffjumper...
    • If you've not had your fill of Transformers collaborative news today, here is some more with a leaked product listing for the Project Knight: Transformers X Knight Rider crossover. We've been dreaming of this one, and it appears a transforming K.I.T.T. will be coming as soon as August! It must be something big and or special with a $49. - Read the Full News Story
    • Tonight on GotBot Goes Live, we talked Transformers news for the newest multipack and some reissues. We also talked collaboratives with TMNT, an Ectotron reissue and, maybe, even Star Wars? Plus, we address the MP Ginrai teaser image and answer who is Riggorus?  
    • EDIT 2: Okay, I think my real problem with this was the marketing image. The main image shows four robot turtles standing together, so I was ready for four toys, not one. Admittedly, I was so disappointed that I did not bother to read the article fully. That's my fault. I apologize. That said, now that I understand it is THE van that turns into a robot, not "robot versions of the four turtles," that makes more sense, but I don't get the four heads. There are images here of a bandana free head which I gather is not included. I would actually prefer a non-specific generic turtle head for the robot. I think that would remove a lot of confusion. At least for me. EDIT 1: My bad, I misunderstood. It's one toy with swappable heads. So, you made a thing based on a four member team, and you only want to sell one toy? You're not even trying to get people to "Collect all FOUR!" You do understand how toy sales work, right? Original Comment: This is a perfectly fine idea executed TERRIBLY. You made four unique toys, each specific to each of the Ninja Turtles, that all turn into the same vehicle? It would be one thing if they joined together to form the van. There have been transformer sets like that before. This is just wasted opportunity. Not to mention, that van exists for the turtles to ride in together as a team, so if they can turn into vehicles ... what do they need a van for? I get that that's their van, and that's cute and all, but ... this is just dumb and disappointing. Why not think about what kind of car each of them would drive based on their personalities, or ask some car company if they want to do a tie-in promotional? What do I want with four copies of the same van and no one to ride in any of them? It makes no sense.
