Kid again. Thanks 'Swipe!
Both Prowl and Sideswipe were pretty much impulse buys, one right after the other. I tend to buy in sets so initially the lack of an MP Sunstreaker meant 'Swipe was a pass. But my Decepticon-heavy collection warranted some Autobot reinforcements so I took a chance with Prowl resigning to fact that Bluestreak and Smokescreen would obviously follow.
Prowl is fantastic in both modes, IMO the most 'toon accurate MP so far. Sideswipe did not disappoint either. In fact both surpass the low expecations set by the one and only MP Autobot car I owned (MP Rodimus, which I've since sold). They are great standalone toys that broke my trend of collecting in sets.
