(NOTE: Because this is a repaint, this is not a full-blown review. This mainly covers any changes made to the mold and the color scheme, and merely compares it to Spychanger Prowl 2. For a review on the mold itself, read the review of the Spychanger Prowl 2 here.)

    Prowl has now been repainted to resemble his G1 counterpart, although to tell the truth, it's still not that different from the Prowl 2 version. (Though to be honest, there aren't too many colors police cars come in, anyways.) His overall color scheme- white, black, and blue- is still the same, albeit the blue is noticeably darker. He doesn't have that annoying large Autobot symbol on his hood anymore, so that's a definite plus. He's also got some pre-applied stickers on him- a police "badge" on his hood, an Autobot symbol in the lower corner of the hood, and "Highway Patrol POLICE" emblems on his car doors. They look pretty nice, although on some toys it seems that they've been applied in a bit of a crooked position. I wish they'd make his sirens and rear headlights more of a solid red, though, since their pinkish tint looks kinda silly. In robot mode, like the other G1 Spychangers, he bears no resemblance to his G1 version. He still looks pretty nice, though- the gray, silver, and blue really go well together.
    No mold changes have been made to Prowl.
    Prowl has a nice paint job, but it's really not DIFFERENT enough from the previous version to warrant purchasing unless you're a big fan of Spychangers. If you're looking for just one version of the mold to buy, though, I'd recommend the Universe Wal-Mart Exclusive version- it has the best overall color scheme, in my opinion.
