Gahh- I wanted to cover

Gahh- I wanted to cover this one months ago, but was too tied-up... oh well. Good review!

Only things that bugged me were that:

--the forward landing gear didn't keep the Gatling cannon off the ground
--there wasn't more variety to his sound effects in robot mode
--why in thee hell he has that valentine in his chest!

Otherwise, great toy. I didn't know G1 Powerglide, so his coloring was no problem with me.

Heart

Eva, if you had read the review you would know why Powerglide has a heart in his chest.

Yeah I know- the tribute.

Yeah I know- the tribute. But... I mean, couldn't it have, like, glowed like it didn't the show or something more effective?

Y'know, there have been too many Transformers that I don't hate covered of the last couple of months. Fantastic review! (And yes... we DO look forward to your reviews!)

Want him in red

Transformers Powerglide Japan Takara Universe is on ebay classic color if you really must have it. Nice toy he looks all grown up. What's about his Decepticon repaint... who is that guy.

No idea, not buying so it's

No idea, not buying so it's not my problem, really :) As for the Japaneese Powerglide you mentioned, worry not, he's next thing to get covered by me here :)

rattler

You know it would be very cool if Hasbro painted this in dark Blue Cobra Rattler colors.

Naw- while it's odd to see

Naw- while it's odd to see the exhaust nozzles pointed forward (were he a spacecraft, I'd say they were retro-thrusters), the placement of the engines is fine with me.

Its grows on me

I was initially turned off by Powerglide's man breasts aesthetic but the design is growing on me the more I look at it.

I think Hasbro has done a wonderful reimagining of the small Autobot and would like to see the likes of Warpath and Cosmos in the same leader / voyager class forms.

Stormcloud

The military / moss green Decepticon repaint in question is Stormcloud :)

Another awesome review of an

Another awesome review of an under-appreciated toy, Wallas. Thanks!

And, yeah, I thought the subtle hint at the end that you were gonna cover the red version was obvious enough. That's cool. Incidentally, I have an extra red version if anyone's interested. E-mail me! (What a shameless plug! ;P )

Anyway, Leonardo, I am SO with you! We were just discussing the other day how cool it would be to repaint this Powerglide as a Rattler and the new Leader Jetfire as a Raven!

Interested in picking up the red powerglide off you but it seems you're not accepting e-mails when I tried the Contact tab from your profile here in CDX?

Can you let me know?

Thanks

You know, speaking of

You know, speaking of underestimated toys, my lot from Hasbro Poland with ROTF toys arrived and I'm seriously considering making a Gravity Bot review for the laughs of it. That could be quite interesting, don't you think? :P

Absolutely! Actually, I was

Absolutely! Actually, I was gonna suggest to JoshB that we do a tandem HD video review of a couple (I got Prime and Starscream) and just talk toy and what makes these dumb things so fun! :D

Could be a lot of fun!

Sometimes, I just feel too old/busy/jaded/whatever to get into modern Leader class stuff because it feels like such a committment to sit down and transform the things. Besides, I almost never remember how! LOL
