Personally I hate this move to a flat, bland 1980's, made for kids, poor QC, colour pallete that they've turned towards....
I do love the blue windows, and I have no problem with the colours in general, but when we played with these things we didn't see this in our heads... our imaginations fleshed things out, knowing that they were robots. I understand going with greys for things like Wheeljack and Bluestreak, but they should add SOME metallic paint to it, like there is on the original Prowls upper legs. They were also grey, but had just enough sheen to make it look like a product worth of the price tag. I don't know why Takara/Hasbro doesn't get this when other 3P's like Fanstoys are putting out "Metallics" versions of their products and your LUCKY if you can pre-order fast enough... This isn't rocket science people.....!
As for that crack..... WTF???
