Cool video, but I'll pass on getting him.

[Steenblock]

Looks like a fun toy, but with that red head and him being all white I dont know. Would have preferred classic powerglide colors, like their supposedly doing with Henkei. This hasbro version I cant help but think "Why is Ronald Mcdonald now a Transformer?" especially with him inbetween Onsluaght and Megatron, looks like he's about to get his skit plate kicked.

[Magnimus]

Thanks for the review. He looks great although I don't like that the top of his cockpit just hangs on his back like that.

From the design, Powerglide looks fairly top-heavy. Is this true with the actual figure? Is he at all difficult to pose if his legs aren't straight and parallel to the body?

I watched the review so I could see his heart. Where is it? I am curious to see what it looks like.

[defstar]

Looks like a buy to me...a buy then of course repaint red...thanks for the review...

i think it looks fantastic, except for when his gun is stored underneath his plane mode, how it's not directly in the middle, how it's not centered, if anyone knows what i mean. it is the same design on the actual plane it was disigned from?

No. The A-10 has is actually jutting out directly from the center of the nosecone. But I can live with it.

Just a tip, next time you film a review I recommend turning off the television and A/C. It'll keep that background static noise to a minimum.

[doomtron]

nice review but but that figure looks like a plus size stripper with that engine chest

[flywheels]

Still on the fence. I'm still not a fan of the reversed colors and with the cockpit essentially forming a backpacks of sorts I too wonder if he's top heavy...even the slightest.

I'll probably just wait for he Henkei! version to be released before I make up my mind of which version to buy...if at all.

Perhaps it's a nod to the Cobra Rattler? It mimiced the Thunderbolt, but the cannon is off-centered. (and it has a different engine configuration, and a rear gunner, but there's no doubting it was a take off on the A-10)

[Wheeljack35]

I never thought that they were so big

I thought that they would be the size of Classics Prime,Skyfire and Megatron

[Railguard]

Well I'll buy it, but I'm not really happy with the paint scheme and the bot mode is off for me, I don't know what it is...I'll still buy it, it looks cool enough.

[Thunderchief]

FYI the A10 cannon is off center on the real plane, just not by much as this picture shows:

http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/a-10/a-105.html

the gun actually fires from approximately the 9 o clock position from the rotating barrel so the recoil is down the center line of the aircraft but the gun itself is not.

I guess this just tends to get exaggerated in toys.

The nose cannon on a Rattler is centred.

Great review again! Adding to some others feedback above, I think always using a comparison figure from the same line (as well as the others too!) is handy. Keep churning out the plastic crack vids :thumbs2:

[AnimatedFan]

A shame we didn't get to see the heart. :( That's one of the key selling points (imo, at least)

All in all, definitely not what I was expecting. The transformation for the most part is quite a bit better than I expected, but the cockpit canopy hanging down is unforgivable.

Actually makes me glad I'm not buying Universe this time. It's a shame, he at least looked cool. (keyword: looked)

[RubySoho]

i might buy when it goes on sale. Then sell it.

But I don't really like it. Robot mode looks like..one of those old Punch Out characters. (big top, little bottom)
