Title:
Powerglide
Description:
Autobot Powerglide (Legends Class, 2015)
A new Scout-sized sculpt sold under the Combiner Wars subline of Generations, Powerglide is a Triple Changer-Targetmaster, transforming into (what else?) a jet resembling an A-10 Thunderbolt II and some kind of "super gun” with rocket launchers on the sides. The back of his box shows him being held by Deluxe Class Skydive, but since he’s very big to be handled by a Deluxe figure, it should be used by Superion (as suggested in his instructions), either of its own or stuck on the top of Silverbolt/Superion’s own gun to make a bigger weapon.
Unfortunately, Powerglide’s weight places a great deal of strain on Superion’s (and every other combiner’s) arms, making him virtually impossible to be held in a firing pose without drawing the arm or entire figure down. Because of the ball-in-socket joints in his hips and knees and the small size of the tabs that hold his legs together in jet and gun modes, his legs are extremely prone to flexing and separating in those modes. Lastly, Powerglide’s ankles cannot fully unfold due to mold obstruction, which causes him to look as if he’s always bending his knees forward.
Powerglide includes a collector card featuring art from the "By Land, Sea, or Air” episode of Transformers Legends.
Though Powerglide’s wave was scheduled for a first quarter 2015 release, it arrived on U.S. store shelves in late 2014.
This mold was redecoed into Adventure Powerglide, and retooled into Viper and Adventure Dogfight.
