Transformers Animated Samurai Prowl

From what I can tell this is the same mold as the old Prowl, with the addition of a sidecar that becomes the samurai armor. What do you think? I cant say I am a huge fan of the Prowl design...

Yeah, it's pretty much the same mold, but there has been some retooling done to the windshield and arms, and a couple other modifications, and then of course the sidecar.

I think it looks pretty good, but remembering how hard it is to even get standard Prowl to stay standing, I dunno...

No, I think there's some heavy remolding being done here, so I consider it a completely different Prowl from the one I reviewed. I may get it, but I think I still prefer the original.

Completely different?

We'll see when it comes out, but I seriously doubt you could call it that.

Unless there's some kind of REALLY well-hidden change in the transformation scheme, the biggest differences seem to be the ability to accept the sidecar-formed armor, and the appearance of some parts:

-Thicker lower legs
-Bigger, differently-colored forearms/back section
-Sweet new windshield
-ETC.

Granted I do think it could potentially feel like a whole new toy (and I'm wanting it more and more), it's not like they've created a brand new mold from scratch!

Someone has taken a few comparison photos of it next to the original Prowl. Couple differences in there I didn't notice before.

And here's some really nice photos of him and Waspinator just 'cause:

Okay, I think I can get this guy now. But I can see that a lot of the parts were changed to make the sidecar work out. (Ex: I don't like the larger fins on his back w/o the armor on.)

As for Waspinator... :/ I'm not sure. I like him more in robot mode. And much as I loved the BW character (I didn't get any of his toys though), I don't know if I'll be willing to get this TFA ver.
