 So the other day I'm out with my son and I decide to swing by my local Walmart to check out the transformer section. I haven't been in quite a few weeks. And if some of you saw the video that I posted Saturday, you know what I ran into. Okay, so Dylan and I are at Walmart today. Say hi Dylan. Hi. And we they got the new siege line in but each one of these looks like they've been stomped on. So you get the whole Wave 2 collection and they are beat to death. I mean that's horrible. I mean I opened my stuff out of the package but this is ridiculous. So after posting that online there was a lot of comments saying I should have bought one of the figures I should have asked for a discount. So I took your advice and I went back to the store early yesterday morning before work. So I walked back to the toy department and really lucked out the manager was having the team meeting back there. So I go and I grab one of the figures off the shelf and I ask hey all these toys are crushed up. Is there any discount for him being this way? So the one manager looks at me and he immediately goes yeah sure buddy no problem. And then he goes well wait I need to scan it to see if some code will allow him to do it. So he hands the item over to another employee. The employee scans it and says nope. But the manager says well I tell you what I already told you I'll take 10% off of it just tell them at the front desk. So I walk up to the front counter and I get siege side swipe for 10% off. So I think he ended up being $17.98. I mean look at this this is how I got him off the shelf. And every one of every wave two figure was just like this. Now honestly I think 10% for something like this is a little lacking but I take these out of the box anyway and still $2 off what the hell. So anyway let's check out siege side swipe. Here he is in the box. This thing look at this. Look how much figure is there. Okay here's the figure. Look how much empty space. This is a chip bag figure. You know how you get a bag of chips and it's half air. Look at that. It just that's amazing. It just blows my mind. Anyway there's the front of the box. There's the side of the box. There's the devastated back of the box showing prowl vehicle mode green x-adactyl and this guy. What's his name? Ameless. I did a review on this guy. I should know. And there's the bottom of the box. Nice crushed up and in my possession. So let's go ahead and get this guy removed from this terrible packaging and see if the figure survived. And welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews. Now once you get siege prowl out of the packaging you'll see that he comes with a sheet of instructions where just like the other siege instructions they are great very easy to follow and very easy to understand. He also comes with a light bar right here that you can place on top of his vehicle mode which of course makes him look like a cop car and he comes with a blaster. Now the blaster fits on top of the light bar by inserting the clip right into the peg up top. So there you have the vehicle armed. Another option is you can remove the light bar and just peg in the weapon like so. That of course doesn't look near as good. So let's just stick to the light bar since prowl is a police officer. And now let's take a look at this vehicle mode. It is very very white but I dig it. It is not as bad as I originally thought. I was not really wanting to get a prowl but he's better in hand than what the pictures show. A lot of nice sculpted details but he could use some extra paint. He's got little yellow slivers right there for lights. I think he could do with a little bit more right in those areas there. Nice tamper graft Autobot symbol on the hood. Cybertronian lettering here on the side. Black paint on the bottom. I love the translucent windows on top with the what do you call that circuitry or Cybertronian designs underneath. I dig it on the back. A lot of nice molding as well. Now the one thing I don't like is these clear tires. I just I don't get it but it's Cybertronian so I guess I can let it slide. Now you think he'd roll pretty good? He looks like he does but really it's only the back wheels moving. My front wheels are a little stiff. I mean this one that's a little better than it was earlier but that one does not want to move. So all in all not a bad vehicle mode for prowl. It fits the character. He's a Cybertronian law enforcement officer. Now let's get to the transformation. To transform prowl the first thing you want to do is open these doors up. They actually have two pegs holding them in place. It's in there a little tight. So once you pop those open there you go. Go underneath and you're going to lift the arms up and swing around. Next you're going to flip this section over. Now you can leave the lights attached or take them off. I'm going to take them off just for the sake of transformation and then you'll just extend the legs out like so. Rotate at the waist. Then you're going to pull these apart. They peg together real well. Fold these down forming the feet and then flip out the heel spurs. So now we have this going on. Now from here it gets a little tricky. You want to kind of unfold back like so. There's a little black section right here. You're going to flip this out and around and then push this section from the hood. Go push that in and that'll actually fold forward and fit inside the gap behind his head like so. Then you'll just keep flipping back. Flip this over the head. There we go. Just got to go and manipulate a little bit. Get him down, locked in place. Turn the arms so the wheels are facing back. These little shoulder sections up here like to shift around a bit. Fold the wings back or the doors back and there you have prowl in robot mode. Now according to the instructions you take the blaster and the light bar and connect the two up top like so. I really don't like the looks of this so I turn it like that. And then you can fit the blaster in his hand. So I think that looks good but another option just take the light bar off, turn him around and plug it into his back. So now it's out of the way and it works. I like that a lot better than having the light bar on the weapon. Robot mode is great. It is very G1. I mean check out that head sculpt. He's got a lot of white on him but they painted the face silver with blue eyes not to mention his red horns. The Autobot symbol really stands out. Nice little yellow details and I love the feet. That's a nice throwback to his generation one figure. Though they are a little big. Wings of course on the back which also harking back to his generation one figure. I really like this guy. He is so much better than I thought. Articulation arms can go up and down a complete 360. He's got elbow bend, elbow swivel. There is wrist rotation, head, ball joint. Little tight but can go all around. Legs he can do a split up and down all around knee bend and he's got an ankle tilt. So yeah I really like this guy. Now for some size comparison. Here is war for Cybertron Siege prowl with generation one Optimus Prime. Combiner Wars prowl with Toyhacks upgrades and generation one prowl. Notice the G1 throwbacks. You've got the windows on the legs and the Autobot symbol on the feet as well. So I really dig that. Now being a Siege figure, prowl has great interactivity with some of the other Siege figures such as Firedrive here. This figure totally surprised me. I was totally going to pass him up and now I am so glad I decided to pick him up. Of course the 10% off helped. I'm hoping that a third party group will give him his shoulder cannons that his G1 figure had. I see slots right up here on top. I know he's getting remolded and recolored into a barricade figure and a smoke screen figure that has those launchers. So hopefully a third party company will help us out. So there you go guys. There is war for Cybertron Siege prowl. So does a war for Cybertron Siege prowl belong in your collection? Absolutely. I really like this guy. He's got a solid vehicle mode, a solid robot mode. I never noticed any loose joints whatsoever. My only complaint with the guy was the one wheel that just wouldn't turn. So yeah, you see this guy pick him up. Whether he's in a crush box or not, I think he'll be very happy. And guys I want to thank you for stopping by and checking out my videos. Don't forget to like and don't forget to subscribe.
