Guess Energon remakes aren't impossible. Hope they turn out well in Legacy

We thank Seibertronian kuhlio was kind ot let us know of new toys available to order on Amazon.com. These are the latest deluxes from the Earthspark Toyline, Prowl (a redeco of Cyberverse Hot Rod) and Thrash (new mold). They are 19.99 so less than deluxes from other lines. links are below along with a review of deluxe Thrash from Cuhuckdawg1999.

Amazon also has the newest one step flip changers

My Thrash, Prowl, and Skullcruncher should be here this weekend.

I got deluxe Thrash and Prowl, as well as Skullcruncher this weekend.

Skullcruncher is cute and fun. I am amazed he has now ended up in 2 modern cartoons back to back no less.

Thrash is pretty decent, though i still think the warrior is the better toy. This one can pose nicely, but his transformation is a smidge soft and fiddly for the feet in alt mode. Plus he can't actually have a sidecar. But he still works nicely.

Prowl is hilarious, I actually like him a lot more than Hot Rod from Cyberverse. Amazing what better color choices do for a mold. It is still subpar, but it at least looks the part better. I kinda wish he had a new head, but otherwise, its strangely somehow works.

I hope we get a good sticker set from ToyHax for Prowl, he really needs it.

Saw 1 step Breakdown for the first time this morning. Kinda lame that wave 4 is exactly the same as wave 3 except they traded Wheeljack for his barely noticeably different repaint. Surely they could have moved things around better.

Got to mess around with Prowl, this mold really does make a uniquely fun toy that doesn't really work as either a good Hot Rod or a good Prowl, but makes for a nice Checkpoint.





Also, warrior Jawbreaker is still a lovely little guy

Takara's Earthspark line has has two new deluxe figures via Amazon.jp. ESD-11 DX is none other than Terran Slash (Thrash). This figures looks to be Takara's release of the Deluxe Thrash.
The more interesting reveal is that ESD-10 DX is Prowl. This time the Cyberverse Deluxe Prowl is getting an incredible repaint rather than the Cyberverse Deluxe Hot Rod repaint Hasbro released.

Both figures are listed for 3,850 JPY ($24.00 USD) and are set to release on June 29 ,2024. Images and Amazon.jp links can be seen below.

ESD-10 Prowl-








ESD11 Slash (Thrash)

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:

Hasbro


Takara Tomy

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.
