I thought in Thundercracker's case they were the same thing.

Oh! Make it even better by having part of the mold cast in glow in the dark, and other parts in UV reactive plastic, so no matter what light conditions, it STILL won't match itself!

The weird part is that this is finally the line where 'Action Master' colored Thundercracker would BLEND IN, and it hasn't happened....
Weirder than Bumblebee, Wheeljack, and Jazz not being in Siege?

So apparently, DNA Designs has an upgrade kit for Legacy Prowl:


It looks really cool but once again, it's like, the exact cost of the figure that it's supposed to be upgrading. I'm not sure that I'm seeing fifty-plus dollars of Prowl when I look at the finished product, but there it is, for those interested.

Almost like having to buy a second Prowl to get the armor in Animated.

The shoulder armor also looks like it'll restrict articulation. You're already shedding parts between modes regardless, just partsform the damn things instead of that stack of hinges.

The gold doesn't match the base figure but I'll be generous and assume that'll get fixed for the final product.

Shattered Glass would be better at this point.

Shattered Glass is never better.

Unless we're getting nitpicky about the faction symbol's color (or, even more-so, about transforming), they are.

CoffeeHorse probably just doesn't want an Action Master-colored Thundercracker released in the SG line because it would be more expensive/harder to come by than if it were sold in another line.

How so? At least you know that Pulse carries Pulse exclusives and ships them out if you order them.

Walmart, Target, and Amazon are relative crap shoots (both on-line and in-store) these days…

Yeah, but SG also is willing to go the extra mile in their subline, so he'll likely look the best there, where as a regular might have have to cut something to fit the retail price point budget. Plus the last time we got a AM Thundercracker it was in SG, so that's likely be where he'll be next released.

I'd think that the barrier to doing AMTC is the headaches paint budget and parts layout would cause compared to the potential returns. He has a ridiculous number of colors that probably don't translate well to the way toys are manufactured currently.

I have a compromise for that! Just give me a glow in the dark Starscream and call him a ghost, without all the clear-plastic issues. Almost no paint involved, and then his deco budget can go to his same-mold wavemate!

And while I'm dreaming, I'd like a pug puppy, I'll name him "Snort" so he will be one of the few dogs who can say his own name...

Yeah, that vehicle mode is a whole lot of not good. But, yeah, it's pretty clear she's a pretool of Side Burn.

OOF.

That vehicle mode is…oof
The whole thing is oof. It's Legacy Prime Bulkhead and Knock Out all over again.

This is a figure for no one. It tries to be everything it possibly can be all at once, ultimately being none of them.

It wants to be Cyberverse Shadow Striker, but completely fails to do so from the neck down.

It wants to be Universe Shadow Striker, but instead has RID'01 Side Burn's blue/red/silver colors for some reason.

It even wants to be ROTF Shadow Striker with those red windows, but nobody asked for that.

It's basically Dragon Ball Evolution made manifest as an action figure.

Even without accuracy into account, mold looks pretty bad. car mode is half of a pair of dress shoes, stick arms, barrel chest, no abdomen. Bleh. It’s partly due to being based off RID Sideburn who had funky proportions too but given how simple this looks, IDK why the proportions couldn’t be altered to be more balanced.

And, honestly, why is she blue? Like, that's straight up just Side Burn's deco covering the majority of the figure. She won't have to be redecoed into Side Burn, she already IS Side Burn!
