    Yep, I hope they make a larger version like they did with Warpath a while back. Powerglide should be a deluxe - Bumble Bee should never be taller than him. Also all the little problems with the alt mode coming loose and having some odd angles would be fixed with a larger figure. I can dream!

    You guys are being a tad too hard on this guy.
    +6 Bot mode is perfect
    -1 No gun of his own
    +3 Jet mode is okay, the arms are kinda there, but mine locks up just fine.
    use the butt flap/sight to lock the legs in.
    +2 Gun mode is not really that bad, looks decent on deluxes as a BFG.
    Does not interfere with either mode.
    Make sure to move the thrusters over the tail for a better look.

    10/10 Best in Scale in my opinion!

    Well if you want they made an ULTRA sized class version of Powerglide back around 2008-ish. That was the version of Powerglide I wanted before the combiner wars version came out. Not only was he huge, but the little flap on his chest could be raised to reveal a molded-in heart (based on the episode where he falls in love with a tiny fleshy human and throws her around like a ragdoll for the remainder of the episode). I couldn't get my hands on the red variant and eventually it inflated in price. The Combiner Wars version is a good substitute though. Wish I could say the same about Combiner Wars Warpath. ;^;

    I'd rather have a deluxe-size Powerglide myself, but I will fully admit that's my issue and not the toy's.

    On the topic of DOTM Powerglide's alt mode, I've found that if you pull his hands out and push the wheels back as far as they will safely go, then clip his hands around the back of his wheels, it makes him MUCH more stable. of course of it to really work, you have to push the nose gear all the way back as well, but I think it's a fair tradeoff

    He looks great with Cosmos's target master both the color and the wing them.

    I'm having a lot of problems with the tabs. And Superion's arms are apparently not strong enough to hold the gun up.

    Otherwise, a solid figure.

    CW powerglide

    I'm not sure if it is just me or do you think he is a letdown. He has thin plastic which snaps and tabs to big.

    Not much but he could have been done better

    The G1 version was my very first TF so I was over the moon when this version was announced.

    Scale be damned, he has made it on to my MP shelf.

    Mine already has stress marks at the base of the boosters, right on the knee socket. It looks neat and all, but I am bothered by this.

    Gun mode is pretty "blehhhh" (even Bombshell makes a better gun, and it's not even an official mode for him) but everything else is pretty much spot on, or at least the best you could do at his size/class.

    I don't think PG should be a deluxe, I think this size is perfect for guys like hiim.

    Does anyone know if there's a KO oversized version of him. I think he's perfect except for his size, and would love a version that stood head to head with Badcube's War Dog.

    Can anyone help me with some measurements on this (CW) Powerglide? I'd like to know robot height at the top of his head, as well as vehicle length & wingspan. Thanks in advance!

    Eh. It was just a theme they were going with for the scout class toys for a while - to get the Autobot Mini-Bot toys done as scouts. It has no bearing on their height they are shown to be in fiction.

    I really like this figure, though I do wish it had some changes for additional articulation. Like a hinge/ball joint piece that would had allowed for arm rotation.
