I couldn't agree more. All of the beasts seem to have a 2 color palette and it really hurts what otherwise look like good figures. They're just so plain.

I actually AM glad, though, that they replaced that brown from the packaging images with the gunmetal color. It's still less interesting than ACTUAL colors, but that brown was worse yet.
Doesn't look great to me. I've never liked the "Allspark Blue" paint on windows, and the amount "TFTM-Death-Effects" is pretty lackluster. I would have liked to see some smokey orange blast effects or something included with it.
I was lucky enough to get an Earthrise Prowl, so I'll stick with it.
The headsculpt clearly gets across Prowl's realization that a lot of folks are going to be disappointed by him.
I'm really surprised - though I guess I shouldn't be - that Hasbro aren't interested in getting a clean version out for the many people that missed the original release.

I don't mind painted windows but they feel just a little two bright to me.
I'm hoping for some impressive blast and/or smoke effects because as is the prattle damage is underwhelming.
-ZacWilliam, either do him clean or go more impressive on the battle damage.

This. Of all the speculation that I have been doing internally about this release, I never once considered that they would use the Siege mold. It's like...why?? . The battle damage definitely doesn't translate well to var mode (although I'm not sure why I would want him displayed in that mode to begin with). Such a stupid and disappointing decision, IMO. This will be a super-hard skip for me.
Yeah - it's not the Siege version.
Are we sure? The elongated front end and narrow headlights kinda look different than the Earthrise version that I have sitting on my shelf. I could be wrong, but it looks pretty Siege-y to my eyes. Maybe it's the angle of those photos?
Edit: Okay, so I am wrong - it is the Earthrise mold, apparently. I think that the angle of the shot in vehicle mode, coupled with the very light shade of blue on the headlights served to look like the front end of the Siege version to my eyes. Still kind of non-plussed about the overall look though, and will really need to see some more detailed pics (from different angles!) before I make a final judgement call.

Those that thought Dead Prime was a good idea?
To be fair, Prowl's death scene was one of the most detailed aside from like, Optimus. I'd be scratching my head at marketing it as dead Prowl instead of regular Prowl with a couple orange smoke cloud effects though.
Also, painted sky blue windows always suck.
