Prowl added a new Spark engine to his configuration to improve his mobility and searching ability. With high-capacity radars on both his shoulders, he can instantly find enemies hiding in a 300 km radius. And once he finds them, they're history. He has electronic systems for jamming radios or hacking into systems.
- Color Scheme:
- Mostly white with some black, blue, and red accents. He's a police car, so this scheme is not undesirable. His windows, while transparent, are smoke tinted, as are other parts of his form. He does, of course, have red sirens on his vehicle mode roof. In robot mode, he has a big, bold red Autobot logo on his chest. Finally, he has a couple tailfin/thruster accessories that have projectiles in the shape and color of flames coming out of a thruster.
- Robot Mode:
- It reminds me of a Samurai in his overall appearance, probably due to his car doors hanging off of his hips like Samurai armor does. He has broad shoulders as well, which are made with the rear section of his vehicle mode. The center of his tail section becomes a shield which is attached to one arm. The other arm has mounts for his thrusters, which can be mounted like guns. The thrusters can also be mounted on his shield, though that's not as cool. His feet are well designed to provide a lot of stability without being oversized. He's well proportioned and well articulated.
- Vehicle Mode:
- A Lamborghini Diablo (thanks Dan ;-) police car. Standard coolness levels apply to all Lamborghini transformers, a-la Sunstreaker and Sideswipe from G1. The thruster accessories can be mounted on his tailfins as well as on his roof as thrusters or launchers. Top it off with the ability to raise his doors as if to load or unload passengers and you have a really cool vehicle mode.
- Transformation:
- A tricky one at best. His legs are hidden under his hood and passenger area while his arms are tucked under his "trunk" area. The trickiest part is getting his arms into the right position when going back to vehicle mode.
- Gimmicks:
- His thrusters have "pinch launch" missiles, but that's about it. This toy doesn't need gimmicks to boost itself, though. It's a great toy without them, and adding gimmicks would probably do more harm than good. In fact, I'm not real fond of the launchers anyway, and use them mainly in robot mode attached to his right arm as guns.
- Pros/Cons:
- Great vehicle mode, great robot mode, cool looks, good colors... all around great toy.
