Thanks again to Autobase Aichi for our second set of in-hand images from the wave 2 deluxes of Siege. This time, it’s the Autobot Military strategist himself, Prowl. Prowl is shown here in both robot mode as well as his super-cool Cybertronian Blade Runner-esque super sleek police car mode. Hopefully, we’ll see one or both of his Fairlady brothers from this figure either in the main Siege line or as an exclusive. This mold is also rumored to be re-purposed as our first iteration of Barricade in the Siege line later this year. Prowl is due out in February according to some on-line retailers and the rest of the wave 2 assortment will feature Ironhide, Chromia and Six-gun.
You can check out the images after the jump.

By no means perfect. I know. It is just that OP and Sideswipe are nailed to the detail. While Prowl is a bit overcybertronized.

The weird turtleneck – head setup, and the doors constantly popping off the ball joints. Those two attributes drive me crazy with CHUG Prowl.

Sideswipe & Red Alert's black weapons/launchers have a thin rectangular tab, I wonder if they fit?

I think when people see this figure on something other than a white background he\'ll probably be way more popular. Even these in hand shots on the white background look way better than the cad renders that made it look like his legs were scrawny because all the painted white plastic on them blended into the background and made it hard to see them.

I still wish those legs were filled out more, but otherwise he looks great.
Venixion
I like him.
@LegoLover58 That's why I'd like to get him.

I'm iffy on how successful the modes are, but this will be a must-buy for me. I think some reprolabels will help the car mode pop a bit more. The detachable siren is brilliant. Personally, I like the clear wheels, and would rather go for labels that make them look more like something from Tron/Blade Runner over rubber, but that's just my opinion.

Looks better than before, still worried about the lower legs being molded in translucent plastic and if there's any storage for the gun in car mode.

maybe to be replaced by weaponizer, battle master attachments…

The other good sign is the removable light bar

Someone create black tires stat!

Yeah Universe Prowl didn't age well. Although I was in awe on it a decade ago.
But seeing this having no Shoulder Cannons/Missiles and lacking of english "Police" on the doors, I felt like skipping this fella.
Unless the shoulder stuff is a detachable accessory, that could persuade me getting this.

That’s a good sign for blue streak and smokescreen I’d say . In the toon prowl didn’t have them but the others did !
PrimalFury
I know right? And take a look in that area, looks like he has slots in that area that are not for transformation, they are present in both modes.

So, I kinda like Prowl, and kinda don't. However, the Universe Datsun mold has aged like crap, so I'm at least gonna see if this is more fun. If so, I'll probably go for the inevitable Toyhax set that makes it look more like an Earth car.
