    I think Powerglide looks nice in G1 Colors while I also like the look of the clear blue with the gray painted-outlines on the window on the front.

    (Though I plan on just getting Skyfall since I am mainly a decepticon collector.)

    I also like to say that I think Sharpshot sounds to me like a good compromise since it seems like Sharpnel's name was unavailable and Hardshell works just as fine for Bombshell (Kickback is Kickback so that's ok).

    Just my opinion on things,
    -TF2

    (Then again, you could call them what you want when you get them like Slap, Jack, and Joe.)

    I want me some Insecticons! When is this coming out? I betta beat the damn scalpers to it. Powerglide, they should have released this color scheme the first time. It's more cartoon accurate than the initial release last year...

    I also imagine someone calling Slag "Snarl" by mistake. Just like how Slag's Robot Heroes toy got named Snarl.

    Put me down for Powerglide. Are the Insecticons a little off-color? The purple areas on my original Insecticons look blue in the picture. Anyway, I have the perfect use for the first version of Powerglide. He's now Powerglide from the Shattered Glass Universe! :D

    I'd been using Classic Fireflight as SG Powerglide.

    Oddly enough, his name was going to be Powerglide, but at the time, they couldn't get the name.

    MOTHERF*#KER! I debated between the Hasbro and the Takara Powerglide for soooo long (cost, ease of access, G1 colors, etc.) and wound up caving in and settling for the Hasbro version. NOW, months later they do it right?

    F#*%^&#$CK!!!!!!!!!

    Glad I skipped the first US release white powerglide then the Henkei powerglide (overpriced), then the purple decepticon repaint... this G1 color powerglide will be mine.

    See, THIS is why I waited this long to buy Powerglide. (well and the horribly high cost of importing the Japanese repaint).

    And the same happened with MP Starscream and Skywarp.

    As Razorclaw said, "All good things succumb to those who await". This is the reason I'll not buy MP Grimlock until the US release... :)

    glad I skipped Powerglide and the other repaint the first time around. This one is a must buy for me. I still hope they do a Legends class sized one too.

    Will get the Insecticons, Perceptor and Powerglide on sight. I just hope this doesn't block our chances of getting a Legends size version in the next Classics series. Just need Powerglide, Seaspray, Huffer, Gears, and Windcharger and the Minibots are pretty much done.

    Looks like two of the Insecticons have different names.
