I already have powerglide and im a big fan of the mold i might just pick this up when it is released.Thanks tamo for the pics and review |

I don't know if I'll buy him or not... I don't usually buy $25 figures at all, and having broken that rule and already bought Powerglide, I'm not sure a repaint tempts me. But we'll see. | your rite Silverbolt would have been better but ohwell it's still a good repaaint

also swapped the missile with powerglide to give him a all black gun and powerglide an all cream/white one. |

also, i put the gun, on the bottom of the hand for this guy, *under* and flipped around, as a Gatling gun, and i have also, switched the black/gray missile as well, looks much better that way.
together with starscream, and ramjet, he looks great, almost like a skywarp substitute.
on another note it DOES look WAY better then powerglide. *though i still like powerglide* it just looks so evil lol as a con
