Our own member magmatron has taken some screenshots of the latest Animated episode, “A Fistful of Energon,” to air on MBC 3 in the Middle East. Check out a youtube preview here, and the attached photos by clicking the thumbnail. As a reminder, be aware that the discussion thread contains spoilers!

I don't see Prowl's armor being much more intricate than Classics Bumblebee's jet pack, when translated to toy form.
Fort Max
Well I doubt that will come out in the UK so I ahven't paid much attention to it.
Regardless, those are as far as I'm aware all just repaints except a ciuple of new parts here and there, which are swapped parts, not addtions.
We're talking about a whole new toy being packed in with a $10 figure here, I just don't see it happening.

as long as the toy will be made i dont care if i have to buy an extra prowl
just hope they can pull it off without makeing it look dodgy
and that when you try and pose prowl and the stuff dont come flying off

Have you learned nothing from the TFTM Premium line ?

Wow, great stuff. Thanks much for the pics AND the info.
Fort Max
Well I don't think it makes sense to swap a simple plastic traffic light on a string for a much bigger accessory which breaks down into at least 8 different piece and has new weapons.
In other words, I don't see how they could get away with selling Prowl with traffic light and Prowl with sidecar/armour at the same price.
Anyone who brought the first one without knowing that the armour is coming would feel juistifiably ripped off.
KA
it doesnt make sense to sell just the sidecar. i call shenanigans.
Fort Max
Looks like someone needs to ask Hasbro at Toronto next month for a final answer on this.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Botcon people said that Thundercracker and Skywarp will not be part of the clone army, so I suppose if they ever do make an appearance, they will be actual Decepticons.
Fort Max
I didn't read the thread because of the spoiler infestation, just wanted tos ay thanks again for the pics Magmatron.

A few possibilities…
1. Megatron's double agent got him out – after all, he can't risk Starscream talking. Starscream was the number two guy – he probably knows a lot about Deceptivon logistics.
2. Sentimel Prime's incompetence. Which is what my gut tells me.

So wait, this ep airs on May 31st? Sweet! Early B-Day present. I'm thinking I'm going to get both versions of Prowl, considering he's uber awesome and would like something to take to DC this summer

Episode looks pretty sweet! Prowl looks wicked and nice to see G1 SS!
Thanks for posting!

Hmmmm…
This episode begs a question that I'm surprised that on one has asked yet. How did Starscream get escape from the Elite Guard? I hope it's explained at some point.
The armor does look good and so does the Clone so I await even more repaints that are used in the show.

Sweet. I'm loving Sidecar Prowl.
With my pants.

Looking forward to this ep. I find it a coincidence that this popped up on Lance Henrikson's b-day

I figured he'd get something samurai-esque. Let's hope this translates well to toy form.

The info I got from a fellow board member who was at Botcon, the sidecar will be sold by itself, and at the Deluxe price-point. Though like all things Hasbro says, it could change before the actual release of it, but hopefully it doesn't.
The odd thing is that Starscream has been appearing more of a grey color on the show the past couple of episodes. Personally I think of him as being a blue-ish grey color. Nothing againgst you, I just don't see anything purple about him. The more I look at the toy, the more I think I probably won't get him, as he just looks too blue compared to the animation model. It'll probably come down to an in-person decision.
MaikeruSan
Well and due to the fact the current starscream is purple and thundercrackers is blue it should work out fine.

Sounds like a really cool episode. The wait for it is going to be a little tough. From what I can see of Prowl's armour, it looks pretty cool. Here's hoping the toy version of it looks just as cool in both armour and side-car modes. Too bad it's a one episode thing though. As for the clones of Starscream, it's not all that surprising. From what we've seen of Skywarp and Thundercracker, they are good homages to their origional color schemes, and T-cracker is different enough from Starscream to make sense.
