Transformers Universe Special Edition - Japan

Shoot, I may have to get THAT Powerglide over the US release! Very accurate! The Silverbolt looks pretty good, too, but I don't think Onslaught is different enough to warrant overseas purchase..

Sweet! Powerglide rocks! Looks like American Powerglide is going to stand next to his Japanese cousin on my shelf!

The red repaint of Powerglide was inevitable. I am starting to think that Hasbro purposely puts out crappy colors the first time around, so they can sucker people in for a repaint. I wouldn't be surprised if a red Powerglide gets released in the U.S. later.

What is the difference with Silverbolt? It appears as though the jet is whiter and his torso colors are less burgandy. I wonder if Silverbolt's class size was a mistake earlier because he costs the same as the other two.

Yup...looks like I'll be importing these.

I just preordered the US versions from HasbroToyShop. I like how the red Powerglide is old-school, but I think the white & red is better looking. I like the US version of Onslaught better, too. Silberbolt, I don't care for at all, but I've never been a fan of the jet alts.

I'll definitely be importing the Powerglide, I'm not a fan of the white version.

The other 2 are just fine in their US released colors for me.

I do wonder if the Brothers Hassenfeld will be releasing him in a red version later. The Brothers do loves dem some repaints!

You know, for perfect cartoon accuracy, you're going to have to buy both anyway, then switch the arms and thighs over. *sigh* It's a hard life being a G1 fanboi.

I don't see why Hasbro just doesn't want to paint them right. Powerglide is red. Maybe they base their colors on animation errors. I'll be getting Japan's version.

I really like the Silverbolt and Powerglide colors. I can't see much difference with Onslaught, but oooo, this really is a good thing.

Pre-orders for Henkei Powerglide will 'sore' as soon as they are posted.

Very nice changes.

He’s gray instead of blue.

Of the three, I’ll only be getting Powerglide, and all of his repaints. This mold looks absolutely wonderful!
