25th Anniversary Smokescreen aka Prowl repaint


Kill Solo

Recommended Posts

Hey gang, I found the 25th Anniversary Smokescreen today during my lunch break @ Target. Was a bit surprised to see something new. They also had a "Dinobot" that I've never seen in the classics line but it was probably part of the Beast Wars, I can't remember his name for some reason.

Dinobot is his name. Like Cheetor, he's a Beast Wars character given a new mold. He's supposedly more "show accurate" but the pics I've seen don't give that impression (especially the head).

I think Hasbro's decision to use purple and grey threw off the whole figure... I am going to have to spend an extra 15 dollars for a Henkei version since he is one of my favorite characters...

I heard that somebody found these ina Walmart somewheres and Walmart had to put them back because there not supposed to be out till March

Hmm, I dunno. BBTS is shipping them, according to several people who put in their preorders.

 

Then again, maybe BBTS isn't paying attention and the people getting toys early aren't gonna complain! @loll@

I think online stores can get away with certain rules...

Actually saw Dinobot and Smokescreen in my local target today. Didn't get them though, not a BW fan and Smokescreen just looked awful, but they were there. So apparently they are out in some places.

Yeah, if you didn't like the way Prowl came out then you will not like Smokscreen. The paint app looks cheaply done just like Prowl. Some figures in the Universe line are awesome, and others lack something. I like the G1 version better, but then doesn't everybody.

Now am I understanding this correctly? All these figures are suppose to ship together in the same wave? Or is it the Smokescreen wave has hit early?

Hound, G1 Starscream, Cyclonus, and Cheetor were part of 2009 wave 1, and have been shipping since before Christmas.

 

Smokescreen and Dinobot are part of wave 2 09 and have had sporadic sightings since right after Christmas, but the case carrys overs the previous 4 figures IIRC.

I was hoping the colors would give it more character... It looks like that will not be the case... On the side note... I was messing with some of my G1s this weekend... I miss the feel of diecast while Transforming... But the lack of articulation really sucks... I wish Hasbro would create an online only shop for collectors... I pay around 20-25 for Classic/Universe with diecast...

Several Wal Marts in the suburbs south of Austin have the new waves!! Finally!! I was hoping to get Cyclonus and Starscream at their prices, 7.77, than Target's prices!!! Seems to be that Cheetor is the peg warmer, out of several cases, he's the only one left on the pegs, well several Cheetors!!! LOL!!!
