Now we just need Ransack and the Rotor Force rides again!

ROTF Ransack fits in with this whole vibe...

Meh, they share no commonalities besides the name and the fact that they're both planes.

Ooh, very nice. I didn't get a chance to get the last iteration of this mold, which looked quite nice, so it's cool that I'll be able to get this one. And I'm liking these visors, first Hot Shot and now Powerdive! Always nice to get those extra details.

I'm liking everything about this fig except for the purple weapons and pink propellers (easily solved with a can of silver paint) and the head.

Not a fan of that super-wide mouth, if that's what it is. Maybe I could fill that line up with some epoxy or cement, sand it down and repaint it to get rid of the line.

damn i hate this mold. but that paint is amazing.

Heh, I'm the other way: I love this mold but do not like these colors The shark-nose is great though. Will buy if he comes to US retail.

[triKlops]

big up TRU for picking these up, good move

Ugh......what sexy ass alt mode this mold has! It just totally nostagicly screams to my ten year old self and the passion i had for WW2 era aircraft. That paint job is top notch and the attention to detail is appreciated. By myself anyways.

A shame about the bot mode and all it's subtle flaws though. They aren't egregiously offensive by any means but for me the hips, feet and forearms break the spell for me.

Still a really cool mold nevertheless.

I used to have a G2 Powerdive and I loved it.
What do you guys think of this mould? It looks alright from pics, but I feel the thights are kinda wide and round or something.

They hips are kind of wide on this mold. You don't notice it much when he's posed with his legs bent; but when they're just straight, it looks kind of awkward.

Can the forearms be posed so that the wrists aren't misaligned with the rest of the arm?

Yes, you can tilt the rotors such that they're pointing about 45° with respect to the line from the elbow to the wrist. This leaves a bit of a gap in his forearm; but it still looks much better.

The paintjob looks awesome and I love the new head and visor. The way the red eyes show through the red visor is amazing!
The purple guns will need some paint imo.

As do the propellers. Highbrow's box art had the propeller hubs painted red; very unfortunate that was missing from the finished version of the figure. A bit of that gold paint on Powerdive's propeller hubs would really have popped.

I have Highbrow; and in spite of a few goofy bits (the wide hips, the wonky forearms), it's a really cool mold. His feet are insanely posable. I tend to move the ankles down at an angle and move the "toes" up so that he's resting mostly on them.

And since I already have the mold, I'd probably only pick up Powerdive at a significant discount. Powerdive has a good head sculpt (though I like Highbrow's as well) and the paint job is nice. But having no particular affection for G2, the character really doesn't mean anything to me.

The shark decal, the overall deco, and the new head are all damn awesome. Not too crazy about the purple, though.


I hope we see more vintage alts down the line. A Corsair like G2 Ransack would be killer.

Hmm. That mold works better as a Decepticon, than an Autobot.
