Powerglide Gets Mean


I suppose one would easily recall a character in the Transformers Generation 1 cartoon episode, which goes with the name of Powerglide. Lovable guy, a red coloured plane with an attitude. Heck, even a girl fell for him. I can't possibly imagine a happier robot other than this guy..Anyway, the above picture is not that 1980s Powerglide. This is however a much sophisticated version of him, so to say.


Well, Hasbro (or Takara, not sure which one really, could be both) has decided to 'reborn' this legendary mini plane into a much more massive & handsome version through the Classics Universe Powerglide. Came as an Ultra class figure, this bot exudes a different kind of greatness in comparison with figures in his class. Every sculpt and edge oo this figure speaks of greatness. I'll be going into the habit of repeating the word 'greatness' quite often here, so bear with me..







Powerglide's alternate mode is a A10 Warthog plane, which is used extensively by the US Airforce to engage in air-to-surface combat. Deemed as a ground attack aircraft, it is loaded with Gatling gun and has the ability to swoop in at low levels. In short, this machine poses a threat to the enemies tanks & armoured vehicles. So tanks, beware of this machine..ratatata...
