How did I miss this one? A "classics" style Powerglide cropping up just like that as part of a pre-order on BBTS with DOTM figures.....WTHeck?

It's already sold out as a single so I guess this may be the beginnings of another Windcharger situation - 1 per case if you can find the case to begin with. And another major pain in the ass to complete my Classics shelf - yet again!!

Someone tell me I'm dreaming.

I've seen him a few times in stores already.

He's terri-bad.

I wouldn't trade 3 POS Powerglides for 1 Windcharger...'nuff said!

I kind alike him, I believe with a bit of putty on his face to re-sculpt it and different feet, he'd be pretty good.

I already own Universe Powerglide, not to mention I'm going light on my DOTM purchases.

I like my DOTM Powerglide. He's got great little weapons and a really nice alt mode with tricycle landing gear, great to see.

I wish he had the low-mounted wings like a real A-10, I guess that would have been a licensing issue. I'm trying to mod his wings to mount low on the fuselage. It's not going well, I think I need a new Powerglide.

I like DOTM Powerglide. He was one of the "absolutely-must-get" from the DOTM toyline on my list, next to voyagers Megatron and Shockwave. I think he makes a better representation for G1 Powerglide than either release of the Classics Powerglide.

Aside from the upcoming Hatchet (I need to see him in person first), this is the *ONLY* Cyberverse figure I'm getting, unless Hasbro surprises us all and re-releases Wind Charger and Rumble in the Cyberverse line. Although Blackout is tempting me with his cute, little Scorponok.

He's all over the place here in Memphis - and he's actually quite good. Don't knock him until he's in your hand.

Though, yeah, the head needs resculpting.

He's a fun figure with a pretty intuitive transformation. Well worth $7.99 IMO...

LOL....no. Powerglide is a dime a dozen. I have seen over 20 of him in the last five days. I have saw no Windchagers ever at retail. There is no comparison.

And the fact that the Powerglide for DOTM is all Bayformer. Very heavy on the sharp edges.....

Haha, that makes even less sense than Powerglide being that huge. :lol:
