Needs tougher plastic
Durability: Fun: Educational: 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 o...

My 6-year-old loves it
Durability: Fun: Educational: I was surprised to find this nice-sized toy for such a low price. My son has had about 8 Transformers and he clearly likes this one the most. I'm surprised that he's able to transform it as well as he is. Bumblebee is much harder for him. It makes three different shooting sounds plus that great transforming sounds we big kids grew up on. I recommend this one.

My favorite so far
Durability: Fun: Educational: I've always liked the little mini-bot G1 powerglide (who is still on display in my den), and when I saw this larger version, I had to snatch him up at once.
The first time transforming him, the transformation sound effect button got hit a few too many times, but it was not long before I had the transformation down well.
Though another reviewer had a complaint about weak joints, mine holds together well on sturdy joints and the shoulder...

Looks cool, weak design
Durability: Fun: The look for Powerglide is pretty cool, but it has two serious design flaws in robot mode:
1) The arms are affixed to the wings. Wings which don't want to fasten securely to the torso in robot mode. Result? Gimpy arms.
2) The thighs have a 360 degree rotation (basically the "kung fu grip" feature but on thighs instead of upper arms). The swivel joint tends to turn when you try to stand him up.
Basically, this Powerglide is great if you w...

Interesting toy
Durability: Fun: Educational: This toy was a good buy for my 4 year old son, he was very happy to get it and played with it for quite some time when we initially opened it. It is probably for a child of at least 6 therefore I have to do the difficult "transformations" for him. Also, it is sturdy and well constructed, thus it should be around for a while. I am considering buying the other figures for him.

Good transformers
Durability: Fun: Educational:
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 verda...
