That red PG looks really good!

The US is sure getting punked lately. First, we're about the last to see Animated stuff. Now this? NICE

[I.S.T.]

the Hasbro version of Powerglide is way better.

< prefers Hasbro colors

 

I'd have to see Silverbolt's colors a little closer though...

[MikePrime]

Realistic? Red trim on grey is realistic? I will be buying the red colored Powerglide. Silverbolt and Onslaught aren't different enough from Hasbro's.

[Sparkless]

Prefer Takara's Powerglide by a long shot, I'd rather use the hasbro version as a homage to wingsaber

[DarkNarcoleptic]

:tflaugh I hope Powerglide isn't so pivotal a character that we'd have to launch into that again.

[MikePrime]

Oh, not at all. But in light of the rest of Transformers Classics, "realism" seems kind of silly excuse to not color Powerglide red.
