This video just helped me transform my new MP Prowl back into alt mode.

[@jeffreyloskoskill4901]

This video helped me finish my early morning bowel movement.

[@unstoppableExodia]

that is what I wished the G1 toys looked like back in the day

[@totalrobot]

I'm 8 years late, but finally got one for my detolf today. He's awesome!

[@lillianliebman3261]

Prowl is my favorite transformer (with Jazz and Soundwave as close runner-ups) and I just got this toy as a birthday gift! My first transformer toy. So happy right now! Thanks for the video. I don't think I could have transformed him without you :)

[@GamerPro0510]

They need to do a Masterpiece Jazz!!!

[@maxbrandt6]

Being a fan of the Martini Racing team and Jazz I whole-heartedly second that idea!

[@monkeybubbles1828]

its a sad fact that we will most likley NEVER see an offical mp jazz as the whole piont of the series is to have show and g1 accurate alt modes and porsche have REFUSED to give has / tak permission to use that alt mode design as they have said they dont want their products associated with an "alien robot war" [wtf,its a bit late for that now] and i cant see them has / tak making 1 with a different alt mode [defeats the whole purpose imo].having said that porsche and volkswagon are now merged into 1 company and vw gave permission to use the bug / bettle mode,hence mp bumblebee so you never know

[@monkeybubbles1828]

Max Brandt i agree.it just dont make sense

[@maxbrandt6]

monkey bubbles I think it has something to do with political correctness and guilt from the events from WWII, hopefully they will get over themselves and relax their stanch on this marketing issue.

[@monkeybubbles1828]

It could be that.im surprised that no 3rd party company has done an mp jazz yet

[@SwedishSeacon]

Good to se you back to the reviewing table optibotimus.Means a lot to me

[@dmitrijsburcevs582]

Great to see you back, in the running optibotimus. The review as always is amazing, and informative will think about getting one for myself.

[@MegaDoome]

Great to see your back!! Optibotimus Rises!! : )

[@cro2call]

Thank you for coming back.

[@Sicarius_7]

Great to have you back.

[@monkeybubbles1828]

Hi Paul. Cool review. Picked up mine yesterday on your advice and delighted with it and thanks for showing how to put him back to car mode

[@cyrax2112]

You can actually extend the shoulder cannons to get a better look. The silver inside is actually the pin for the extension.

[@craggylotus]

glad you're feeling better. That MP Prowl seems like it'd be a good little distraction for your mind whilst your body is healing up.

[@ironprimereviews]

happy to see you back. hope the knee is feeling better.

[@jazz-meister]

The shoulder cannons extend out aswell. Great review welcome back

[@dodgyb2001]

The shoulder cannons were originally wire guided missiles from memory, so that's quite a change from the original spec, but he does look fantastic, and he was one of my favorites, and I actually broke mine as a child, so this one is tempting me sorely if it's still available!

[@willthecollector3213]

Welcome back good sir. Prowl looks amazing.

[@supremeprime1997]

Great review Optibotimus! Welcome back!

[@thugg4lif]

Thanks for keeping your review real! I still don't like how small the MP cars are, more apparent in bot mode next to MP Prime.

[@swhero4mer4jesus]

ur recovery thought u might be out for at least 2 months or more but glad ur back! :)

[@ChitownCollector]

Thank you for the details. he just arrived and OMG I love this figure. Keep up the great work

[@TBgunsandbutter]

RIP Prowl killed by Constructicon Scavenger, thirty four years ago

[@herve160181]

Very faithful to the G1. Love it. Will definitely be getting one.

[@optibotimus]

That sucks...i'd take it up with your delivery service

[@eugeneacy8643]

i hope u did not rush ur recovery to do this for us but still its awesome to see u doin reviews again. if u needa take time for recovery take your time the videos can wait health is more important.GWS optibotimus

[@kronos6948]

Good to see you back. Just a bit of trivia for you...Nissan bought Datsun, which Prowl was originally a Datsun.

[@connorcormier5775]

Omg your back thnx for recovering I was waiting.....patiently we will say for your next video welcome back paul

[@Pixarprime10]

been waiting so long 4 this guy!!! great review Paul! were obviously not gonna get a hasbro cuz its a licensed product

[@niallmurray06]

also good too see you better paul!

[@stingrayazz1815]

By the way, since wheeljack is your favorite character and there is a masterpiece of him coming out I'll bet your really excited.

[@Orieus]

u nail this review as always man, well done. Im getting my figure sunday! cant wait

[@Starowl17]

Glad your better dude!!

[@GAMINGNINJA87]

Man great come back. I had a feeling you were going to review it. So I waited and did not watch any other reviews of this figure.

[@marcusmurphree7123]

optibotimus you are the best reviewer and that means that since you have so many viewers you are going to be a pro

[@HelpImBeingErased865]

Glad to see the reviews up again! Just as a suggestion for some future reviews: I saw some pre orders for third party cassettes of Beastbox and Slamdance that would probably be pretty cool to review. Just an idea, looking forward to all the videos

[@julietacastruita9114]

i'm so glad that your better

[@eldruggedmonkey]

from what i remember Paul mentioned that they won't do a Masterpiece Bumblebee cause VW doesn't want their licensed products to be affiliated with war type characters which is why they used the Camero for the live movies.

[@SuperAp0calypse]

Just got the KO version of this (I cant afford a proper MP sadly, and its mainly for display in robot mode anyway), and yeah I agree, fiddly as hell to Transform the legs. Mine was pretty hard to transform too as the joints were stiff and it obviously had never been transformed out of vehicle mode, so had a hard time getting the back windows to split to form the feet >.

[@bobgilmer]

glad you are back working and the knee is doing better.

[@silentlyjudging]

This vid was extremely helpful to me transforming this figure, thanks!

[@LegendaryAntiHero]

I got my MP Prowl from Thomas today. It's very awesome.

[@minecraft2000388]

Omg two prowl reviews in a row!!

[@TheKevinChannelHD]

He's back ladies and gentlemen . Presenting the one the only Optibotimus

[@neil78b]

These are just like the alternators.

[@DokkenMcleod]

Welcome back, great review thank you..

[@bradmullaerialphotography]

Wow what an amazing figure now his in my hand, I can't believe how small they are I don't know why I was expecting anything bigger, but a great figure none the less

[@aussieguy6908]

Just got him today, although I was unhappy on the delivery. "PACKAGE" said the delivery man, then just dumped the package on the ground in front of my door. No scanning of Tracking Number to say it was delivered, no handing of the package to the recipient. Anyone could have picked up the package if I was not home. He is now happy standing next to LAMBOR (Sideswipe), watching for Decepticreeps!

[@Pixarprime10]

wow lots of mp figs do have amazing head sculpts but som arent to cartoon accurate but it prowls looks 100% perfect

[@Travixius1]

Masterpiece engineering in these figures is amazing

[@leepicciotto]

The best of the Nissans(straight out of the package). Something striking about it on the shelf with its color scheme and face sculpt. Blue streak/streak is second but smoke screen with the label set from China(not reprolabels) looks really great, wish it had a better head sculpt though.

[@birklundgren9716]

Ladies and gentlemen. The king of reviews is back!!!

[@Shockwave122yt]

i really want a masterpiece version of cliffjumper

[@Deathscythetransform]

yeah I just cheked.. my bad for arguing, it was announced along with wheeljack and if I am not mistaking the black sideswipe

[@KatchouroBlade]

My Prowl arrived today. A brilliant figure, I'll be buying the Dr Wu launchers to make him look even better.

[@Kenou]

I pretty much agree with the complaints you have but the one id like to add is the lack of points/tips on his wings/doors like on the cartoon. Always thought that added a lil something to his look.

[@chrisgonz1973]

This was a great review... But my favorite was when you boiled, hammerd, and put animated starscream in a garbage disposer!

[@CodyVanV]

Can't wait! Mine is in the mail

[@maxbrandt6]

*DATSUN* not Nissan! But that's all ancient history now. Really nice offering of a MP G1 character, very Japanese with the location of the sideview mirrors too!

[@aussieguy6908]

I definitely will. I am excited when Hasbro Soundwave is released. Hope the Piledrivers for Rumble/Frenzy is correct. Did you get the correct piledriver finally from BBTS? Thanx on the tip with pushing the head further up til the two pegs click. ie: 8:30 I use to have the G1 Prowl, but it's gone now. You can get the WST version on eBay.

[@darthravage07]

Shoulder cannons actually extend/telescope out and click, making this feature even more awesome! Just saying...

[@HybrydATP64]

i wish that police cars were that cool today i would love to see police officers driving nissan fairladys

[@aussieguy6908]

I use to have the G1 Prowl, and was my favorite figure.

[@Gigas0101]

prowl's a legendary prick in the comics, and his figure having a slightly prickish transformation makes sense. Great MP, great video, made me want to buy it. He really looks like the G1 show, toy, and a bit like the comic as well. Excellent review!

[@LastBastian]

Thanks for the review, I think I will be getting this guy soon. One question for anyone reading; ...I notice that a lot of popular youtube toy reviewers recommend/advertise BBTS. I'm wondering if you guys get a kickback or something? Sorry if that's too personal or something, I'm just wondering why so many people buy from there when their prices all seem to be so crazy high? Do they do special discounts or something that I'm not aware of? Because everything I've looked at there can be found elsewhere for much less. For example, Prowl is almost $90 shipped on BBTS, and only $65 shipped on ebay. ...just curious.

[@HybrydATP64]

the sideview mirrors part have to go in the actual groves not outside so that it goes in the gap without problem

[@DoctorPhileasFragg]

Those hollow legs bug the hell out of me too. Before release I only saw it from the front, and it looked better than sideswipe.

[@Sub-zero1123]

I just go back to 80s rigt know.. great piece

[@edpigman]

Your knee must be better because you are back kicking ass. Awesome review!

[@deceptichris]

It took me a long time to realize his shoulder cannons extend out. Hence the silver pins inside the cannons.

[@darthdevious]

Since I am usually of limited funds for MP figs...I am only getting one version of this mold, Smokescreen, since his car mode is my favorite of the 3...plus I always liked him more than Prowl and Bluestreak :)

[@willieleefrancis8091]

I picked up this version of MP-17 Prowl about a week ago.

[@Eseres80]

Great to see you back at reviewing figures again :) Been waiting for your review on Prowl since he came out. Did you remember to pre-order MP-22 Ultra Magnus w/trailer at BBTS yet? Thabks for the Prowl review :)

[@mikesgtrs1]

I've got two of these , one had bad qc issues the other had zero and he is a perfect figure best transformer figure in my opinion to date out of the entire toy line well that an mp10

[@ariakhatir8208]

Hey glad your better

[@Armaron06]

Got this a couple weeks ago. The TRU excluisive Hasbro release one. Great figure. And I agree with you on his Hollow Legs. UGH! Also I feel like I'm gonna break off his chest section though when trying to bend it out straight seperating that tab from the slot inside when transforming him back to Vehicle mode.

[@zekesoto645]

Prowl is a cool masterpiece. I wish they would make a masterpiece Bruticus....that would be cool.

[@baldmetalnerd]

Great video, in your mp sideswipe video you had mentioned you heard that he wasn't coming to the US via Hasbro. Obviously he never came over have you heard anything either way regarding prowl? Reason I'm asking is if I can wait for a us release and spend a little less all the better.

[@13shivan]

welcome back dude

[@dominictaddei2300]

Glad your back:)

[@frankmarzig1972]

i had the G1 prowl toy and i thought that one was the greatest but this one beats it hands down.

[@PatrickRW99]

Welcome back!

[@impossiblepie]

My Prowl doesn't roll at all!! front wheels won't move on any surface, but I still love this figure!

[@johnbcoxmusic]

Great review thanks for the great work! Love the figure, can't wait to get my hands on one.

[@DarinBransan420]

welcome back!!!

[@secondseen]

have you seen the Warbotron or whatever it's called 3rd party Bruticus? It looks amazing.

[@musiktechno]

excelent review!!! Thx!! Greetz from Lima-Peru

[@Vinnyy_zip]

Yes yes yes yes yes!!! Optibotimus yes

[@TheAxelandx1]

optibotimus what masterpiece figure do you really want takara to produce -jazz -mirage -a new megatron in better scale -or a mp tracks

[@Dbobcol]

Im so excited for mp wheeljack

[@TheAxelandx1]

yea that it's something that he needed btw did smokescreen or bluestreak had those in the cartoon?

[@Deathscythetransform]

I sure hope there will never be a masterpiece bumblebee. Let us have a little breather from all the bee toys we got. no, I want a masterpiece Jazz, for crying out loud!!

[@TheAxelandx1]

i think that they would just have to downsize the original mp megatron and that would be it mirage it would be great but i think you are right and jazz is the more must have for the autobot fans and btw have you heard that takara might do a new cartoon accurate mp ultra magnus

[@jr.a8301]

need a siege line prowl,sunstreaker,and wheeljack to go along with sideswipe.

[@TransFormersParodies]

Nice review, man. Prowl's looking good. I liked seeing him next to Sideswipe and Prime (though seeing Prime with Autobot symbols on BOTH shoulders still kinda annoys me). The white paint job on him really stands on well in this video. And I am glad that you got him rolling without any scraping. That could get very annoying ala Hot Rod.

[@AvengingTragedy69]

Welcome Back! Awesome figure great review.

[@Pixarprime10]

gratz on 66k

[@eldruggedmonkey]

nice video does the light bar remove like Alert and Lambor?

[@TwistedVaderReviews]

Just got him, Really cool

[@marioespinosa9487]

well your getting there and im happy about it cuz your awesome

[@Qplays123]

Finally a video
