New Images Japanese PowerGlide, Silverbolt & Onslaught

As much as I'm not keen on the domestic Powerglide color scheme, I'd still prefer it over this version. I think Silverbolt looks awesome, though.

I think Hasbro said at BotCon Monzo was the screen name of someone involved with Hasbro in making Onslaught. I think they pestered them to make a new Onslaught or something and he finally got him. I honestly can't remember though.

That is really awesome, if true.

Bugger.
Here I was thinking that Onslaught would be missing those SWAT stickers.

Perhaps Hasbro will release a solid red verion next year.

I'll pick all three of these guys up. I still don't see what all the fuss is over Silverbolt, but I'd rather just buy these guys as a package rather than one from Hasbro, two from Takara.

Other than that, I don't see the point in making two of the new Classics toys two of the leaders of sub-factions. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing old character put into modern forms, it's just that if we have REAL Classics Gestalts on the way, but Hasbro denies the return of Gestalts, why make the leaders of the teams that form those Gestalts?

Oh well, just ignore the crazy conspiracy nut for now. But if we get Classics Motormaster or Hot Spot though, I'll have a fangasm. The point is we're getting cool toys.

I have to agree with the others who've not liked the dirty paint job on Powerglide. Ruins the toy for me when it looks like someones already played with him for hours on end and had him crash into a sandbox a dozen times after being shot down.

I do really like the paint on this version of Onslaught but I probably won't be able to justify the premium price over the Hasbro version. PG will probably look better with some clearer pictures of his bot mode. I may get the Henkei version of him once I see clearer pictures. Silverbolt just looks strange to me. What an odd TF to redo. I'd love to have seen them skip him in lieu of a Classics Cosmos.

I had to get hit over the head, as it were, to peek at these guys....and, MAN! I am glad to got an eye-full of Onslaught....fantastic!! Yet another to add to my growing list!

Oh yeah can't wait until I got those three Transformers into my hands. just too bad that Onslaught and Silverbolt aren't combiners.
