Your fan thoughts on Takara MP-17 & 18 being Prowl & Smokesc

The originals... ok, not exactly, but the original named "The TransFormers" anyway. Take THAT, Diaclone!
Generation 1, Generation 2 - Removable fists? Check. Unlicensed vehicle modes? Check. Kickass tape deck robot with transforming cassette minions? DOUBLE CHECK!!!

I don't like the over sized boots on the MP 17/18/19 Prowl/smokescreen/silver-bulestreak. Because the over sized boots literally look like the combiner armor boots that CR Fire-convoy's super robot mode used toy used & the Combiner boots that year 2005 leader sized Optimus Prime used for his super bigger robot mode.

It kinda looks like MP 17 is wearing platform shoes or standing on bricks. Normally I can dis-miss stuff like these when this is featured in the lower budget TF toy lines. However these MP TF toys are labeled as perfection & higher end/budget TF toys. To have massive over-sized mis-proportions inperfections like platform shoes worn by MP 17/18/19 is just Un-acceptable.

Welp, I know what I'll be hearing about for the next six months.

People spend so much time worrying about whether a figure is "mint" or not that they never stop to consider other flavours.

I'm not the only one complaining about the MP 17/18/19 wearing platform shoes or over sized combiner add-on boots. Some here & other fans on various internet TF forums are also complaing about the over sized boots/platform shoes.

I honestly don't see myself getting carried away with the MP-17 Platform shoes. Because prowl/smokescreen/silver-bluestreak are not even on my top 30 list of most wanted TF characters to get newer toys made. If hasbro sells them in the USA for under $37,i'll buy it & over look the platform shoes flaws,because these are not on my top 30 TF wish list,so I care less how they look.
