| | Description | If ONSLAUGHT enters into direct combat, it's only because something has gone wrong with his battle plan. He prefers to remain on the sidelines of a fight, directing the action and revising his tactics second by second. Nothing gives him joy as much as a well-executed ambush, or the swift, organized destruction of an AUTOBOT base. When he must get involved in a fight himself, he does so with cold fury, advancing meticulously across the battlefield with his fire focused on the most dangerous opponent. Every variable in a fight is taken into account in his mind, every possibility assessed, and every contingency planned for. | |

 Needs tougher plastic Sep 22, 2008
By David T. Catmull
Overall, this is a pretty cool update for the original Powerglide, which was a tiny red plane from the original Transformers line. The way the wings fold up, as well as the shape of the head, are reminiscent of the original design. There's even a nod to a particular episode of the original series.. but I won't give away the surprise.
There are some weaknesses in the design, though. The biggest one is the joints that the wings rotate on during transformation. The plastic is just too soft and gets mushed in the process because of the teeth designed to lock it in one of two positions. I had to consult the instructions to make sure I was doing it right. They just needed some tougher plastic for those particular parts.
Another is an annoyance. In addition to the obvious button for electronic lights and sounds, there is another button that gets pushed during transformation to make the standard transforming sound from the cartoon. This is cute and all, but in practice the button tends to get pushed and released several times when you transform it, and it gets old fast.
Finally there is the missile launcher. It has a respectable spring, but you can't aim it straight with the plane's landing gear down, and there's nowhere else to put it. And, unsurprisingly, it doesn't have anything of the paint job shown on the box.
All in all, a pretty good concept with some execution flaws.

 Very nice. Jun 30, 2011
By J. J. Owens
The first thing I noticed is that the figure is unnaturally short... then I remembered that the legs extend. Then he went from a decent figure to a great figure. Having passed on it while still in widespread retail, I decided to pick him up. It was twenty dollars well spent, as he turned out to be a great figure. His alternate mode is based on an A-10 Warthog , and is actually fairly faithful to it's real-life counterpart right down to the nose-mounted rotary cannon. Everything is very sturdy and solid in this mode - nothing feels fragile, although a way to more securely attach the wings would be nice. One of my only real gripes would be the arms poking out of the front, although this could certainly have turned out worse, as the fists are at least hidden... which brings me to my worst gripe about this particular copy of the figure: it came with two left fists. At first I thought the fists had been switched (oh screwdriver...) but I looked and the right fist was correct (sorry screwdriver...). Interesting, but novel.
Robot mode is very nice in my opinion. I tend to think of the translucent orange pieces as large cannons. The wings on mine tab in fairly tight, but I must echo the complaint from one reviewer about the rotational joint for the wing transformation. The pressure from the teeth causes the somewhat weak plastic to stress... something that could turn into a problem. What paint there is is placed well. The figure is altogether quite nice, with a good design and several homages to the original G1 figure, and even a nice episode-specific reference. And for the price, he really is a good buy.
Renegade Decepdicon Bad Boy ! May 27, 2011
By Mutour Henodus
"D.J.4.7"
Finaly , another Renegade Gobot turned Decepdicon has been updated into a brand new toy , now all I have to do is paint his few remaining red parts purple, his blue eyes red and replace his autobot symbol with a decepticon one and I will have turned another transformers toy into a gobot like I did transformers animated activators black and white police patrol car Bumblebee ( Bugbite ) .
Good transformers Jan 19, 2009

The figure is accurate as to how the original G1, but the color is wrong. In his alternately looked very good.
Indeed it would not buy it, but they offer and I could not resist.
There is a version of Takara Tomy which is much better, but its price is double that of Hasbro.
La figura es fiel en cuanto a la forma al original g1, pero el color esta mal. En su forma alterna se mira muy bien.
En verdad no iba a comprarla, pero la pusieron en oferta y no pude resistirme.
Hay una version de Takara Tomy que es mucho mejor, pero su precio es el doble que la de Hasbro.
