Japan To Get USA Ed. Powerglide, Silverbolt, Onslaught

The heart thing if anybody is wondering was from "The Girl who loved Powerglide" episode.

I like Powerglide red but for altogether different reasons than nostalgia. It sets him nicely apart from the other A10 Warthog Cybertron Wingsaber. The mold is cool but I find it looks too much like Wingsaber in these colors.

In this line who really cares about realistic colors. I don't find that a major selling point of any of these toys. Classics sold well because it gave collectors a chance to own beloved G1 characters that were better engineered/better detailed than the originals. The movie toys did well because the movie itself did relatively well. It's a proven fact movies that generally suck normally don't sell many toys based on it. Realistic alt modes are a given because this incarnation of Transformers was live action so highly stylized A/E/C molds would not have worked.

While we're on the topic of realistic colors most of the vehicles were so heavily modified/painted up that a red jet in any incarnation is pretty much a moot point.

May buy the US edition but that blue Rattler will be pretty damn tempting at the same time.

Lastly the colors on Silverbolt completely suck and bear no realism to a real jet whatsoever. G1 inspired or not this may be the one contributing factor for me not to bother with this one.

Onslaught looks like he may be a buy.
