Swapping the gold panels on the legs for each other, and then turning them both upside-down produces the desired effect! The only downside is that the panels are flat on the bottom, and the extended curved plastic of the ball-&-socket joint(s) pushes up against it; however, some light and simple sanding on the panels will eliminate any excess pressure. That's a good little find you found there, Mike. Thank you! ------------------------------ CollectionDX Staff It works!

Even though it was rather redundant, me just being impatient, and I wanted to get one before the "<i>...Animated</i>" shelves went barren like the movie's line did last year, I still plan to get samurai-Prowl when he comes out. It'll be interesting to see if they make any mods to the molds to accommodate the new parts... Yeah, Prowl is a bit tricky to pose since the soles of his feet are flat, and not sloped. You just have to deal with it. The toes are hard to position because they rub up against the inside of the lower legs. On top of that, while yeah you can bend the lower legs at that trans. joint, I'm still seriously considering chopping both of those gold parts anyways. I just think it was careless of them to do that. ------------------------------ CollectionDX Staff I'll reply to both of you here.

Part of me even thinks that it's not really cheating and you're supposed to use it that way; that being, the part of me that thinks that Hasbro would never give us a figure with such little knee movement in the modern age.

Even though he's drawn to stand taller than Bumblebee in the new series, if you think about it, a motorcycle is far smaller than even a compact car. While BB might stand on the order of 11-13' tall, I would venture that Prowl would stand no taller than 8'-9'. ------------------------------ CollectionDX Staff I doubt this is an animation error- as frequently happened in G1 to smaller bots like Bumblebee- but my statement above about Prowl being the shortest Autobot is just a guess.
