Takara TOMY DX Prowl and DX Terran Thrash (Slash) Official Reveal

That Prowl mold is the game!

His name is still "Thrash". It's just that the Japanese language doesn't have a proper "Th" sound, so it uses "S" sounds to approximate it.

They also use "R" sounds for "L" sounds, so any machine translator is going to instinctively misinterpret "Thrash" as "Slash" since the latter is a more common word than the former.

@Sabrblade- Thank you for letting me know this- I seriously had no clue!

Prowl looks amazing, will legitimately need him

Totally agreed. Amazing what some paint does for some of these Cyberverse Deluxes

That’s a great Prowl, the proportions in both modes are spot on for the style of EarthSpark, I hope he shows up in S2 like this. A good mix of cartoony and realistic.

You know what undermines his realism? He's a two-door car. Almost every incarnation of Prowl or Barricade is supposed to be a police car, but has no real back seat.

It would be perfect if they included the blast effects which are really, REALLY good.

Apparently in Japan Fire and Police commanders use sports cars that are only two-door. I guess Prowl and Barricade were based on the vehicles of higher-ranking officers.

We know what Earthspark Prowl looks like thanks to the Hasbro Packaging (and it's not a reuse of the Cyberverse design):



Definitely going to pass on the Hasbro version since Prowl and Thrash don't come with Mandroid parts so I have no need for them.

May as well compare Thrash:

You should just get Warrior Thrash anyways, it is the better Thrash toy.

And I would still recommend Hasbro Prowl as a cool Checkpoint.

I've got Warrior Thrash, it's great, but not particularly accurate color-wise. Maybe I should just grab the Japanese release, too. I'll only get Hasbro's Prowl if it's on sale or clearanced.

Japanese Prowl has already sold out on Amazon Japan, wow.

Portuguese retailer Aj Aguiar has put up order pages for two new Warrior class figures, complete with official images: Terran Hastag (brand new mold) and Chaos Terran Spitfire (redeco of Warrior class Terran Twitch).

They're both combiners. That Spitfire might just make it out before anyone sees a Warrior Class Twitch!

The Warrior class versions of Twitch and Bumblebee have the same gimmick.

I know that and have Bumblebee. Outside of a few early international eBay listings and a seller going by AmazonUK on Amazon NO ONE has seen or gotten Warrior Twitch to go with Bumblebee. Crap, I never published Bumblebee here and it hasn't been newsed yet. It's a really good figure but without Twitch you're only getting half the fun.

We thank Sabrblade for letting us know of new images for Warriors Hashtag and Spitfire. And on Australia’s Target site, we got a first look at Tacticon Starscream.

Three pics were missing from above:

A full sized Hashtag at last!!!

Though, why that alt mode?

Well thats not quite her alt-mode but I like it! At least all the Terrans have decent full sized figures now.

Very curious about this “Chaos” version of Twitch, the second season can’t come soon enough.

Still prefer Hashtag was much larger, but it's something. She'll look right with one steps I guess. I wonder if the alt mode is so she can share it with another figure?

Especially since her name is Spitfire.

Didnt know Twitch had no coverage, give me an hour snd the situation will change

The latest warrior class figures from the Transformers Earthspark line appeared in Canada a little while back. However, no one posted a video review addressing the combination aspect of these toys, until now. While it isn't a mind boggling combination, remember that this is just a third mode for either toy, and a child still has a complete Transformers toy experience with owning just one of them as either can go from robot mode to vehicle mode as traditionally expected. The combination is just a bonus if you get more than one, and it will be cross compatible with the Hashtag figure that was just revealed.

Here is a video review of the combination aspect, followed by a review of Bumblebee and Twitch.

It's ok, we can wait.

Damn.

I have pretty much next to no interest in this show, and don't really buy the earth spark toys much. But this hashtag figure looks pretty neat. I especially like the vivid coloration and groovy alt mode. I might just pick her up as a CHUG-adjacent background character for my collection.

I have my own internal transformers universe I made up, so I don't need to get characters based on media, or limit interest based on media. I just get the characters who I think are cool, learn about their personality through play and research, and see where they fit in my own universe. Everyone has a story to tell.
