Images of Cyberverse Powerglide

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called Images of Cyberverse Powerglide.

TFW2005 member Fabermax has posted images of the Transformers Dark of the Moon Cyberverse Wave Two Powerglide toy.

This is what he has to say about the Transformers toy.

So on to a quick review. After opening him, I will say some of the hype died down. He still is a cool homage to PG, but this figure needed to be a deluxe! Plain and simple. He is just too small in my opinion. As you can see in the pic with Cliff, CJ towers over the lil guy. And as some had speculated the head DOES NOT turn. The transformation of the front of the plane doesn\'t allow it.

Speaking of transformation, the plane mode by far outshines the robot mode. The alt just screams G1 Powerglide, much more than the Universe version does. Again, why oh why couldn\'t this have been a deluxe. The Transformation of this guy is pretty slick too. Although he resembles the A-10\'s from the Universe and RotF Aerialbots (comparison pics to come later) his transformation is more complex, and that\'s cool considering he is such a small bot. Think Breacher. One additional minor gripe I have is that the colors are more maroon than red. Powerglide was clearly a red plane, and this guy is more of the same color as Warpath instead of Universe PG\'s bright vibrant red.


The missle/gun gimmick (i didnt take pics of it yet) didn\'t come out that well to me. Once all the missiles combine it kind of looks like a...bunch of missiles stuck together to look like a gun. More details once I take pics.


Overall he\'s an ok figure, not as hype as I was when I saw him in package vs opening him, especially when holding him up to Cliffjumper, but some will be ok with that since he was a minicon, but for me the minicon size has been re-established due to TF CHUG, and they missed the mark on him again. Universe was too big and now DotM is too small.
