I welcome more repaints using this mold Hasbro!! Once you all get/see Powerdive in person, you'll like him even more....I haven't stopped fiddling with mine since I got it. |

| Some Sort of Bucket Join Date: Jul 2010 Posts: 3,917 Location: South Jersey News Credits: 2 | Had I known this retool was in the works I'd have passed on Highbrow. Still, I don't at all regret picking up Highbrow, and if I happen to see Powerdive I'll grab him. Shark deco + new head + best 5mm guns ever + P-38-esque alt + pal for Lugnut = totally worth buying the same mold again. |

He sort of looks like an evil German pilot... even though he turns into a plane resembling a P-38 Lightning. Whatever. I'll gladly add him to my Decepticon Luftwaffe. Javol, mein fuhrer Megatron! He also looks like he'd be best buddies with Lugnut. |

The plane mode, is SPECTACULAR. Everything locks together, TIGHT. Nothing flops around. Retractable landing gear that raise the nose up for props to clear the ground, Just SITTING on your shelf HighBrow is imposing. The Prop spin gimmick is GREAT. If I were 7-8 again, I would be flying this guy ALL over the house and outside. Rockets on the wings-CHECK! The way the gatling guns mount on the wings or each side of the main fuselage is killer, and then they look like he has Hip Holsters in bot mode. I originally did NOT like the arms from online pics, and was really bummed that I thought he got neutered like incenerator..but that is simply not the case. This guys arms work GREAT. There is a hell of alot of posability here, and just because he has his props on his arms, DONT LET THAT SCARE YOU from trying to find one of these. He has full range of motion, and pulls of incredible poses. As stated in the OP, the legs are BRILLIANT design. Full posability, and they just look fanstastic. A perfect time to highlight this figure as I am right in the middle of doing a "weathered and realistic" paint job on one of these. Im doing this one for my buddy, as he was so kind to allow me to try. I only have one highbrow, and I hardly ever paint anything I have one of. My ONLY problem with Highbrow...Is I dont have ENOUGH of them. I want to paint one a WWII Navy/Hellcat blue on the top. Powerdive looks great. I cant wait to be hunting for that one. 15 minute job to fix your blitzwing arms so they lock in how they should from the factory. TF LEGENDS NAME TADAVE79 | ||

I have a habit of that. We had a national sales manager that required us to CAPS all IMPORTANT points when we had to turn in quarterly sales reports. If we had a GREAT MONTH, he needed the caps to stop him to ACTAULLY READ the parts that were INTERESTING enought to take his SO precious time. Its a really hard habit to break. No...SERIOUSLY it a HARD habit to break. 15 minute job to fix your blitzwing arms so they lock in how they should from the factory. TF LEGENDS NAME TADAVE79 | |

It doesn't necessarily take well to being photographed but in hand it looks and feels so right. If I get some spare pennies I will get Powerdive to join Highbrow on my desk. |

| Sam the Eagle wants YOU! Join Date: Aug 2010 Posts: 7,395 Location: The middle of america. Collection Count: Dunno, you count them. News Credits: 5 | I never found highbrow when he was released (only his wave mate boo berry fallen), but I plan on finding and getting this figure. The color scheme seems better this time around as well. ![]() |
