Powerglide needs a lot of work on those arms. Having a look at the arms on my Powerglide, I think it should be possible to swap them over from the Hasbro ones to give him a more G1 look. That or knock on lcz128's door

2 Powerglides yet it still can't be painted like the G1 colours...how sad is that?

I dunno, the arms are proportionately pretty small and may have looked worse if picked out in another colour.

Uhh... did they pick a bad cartoon pic for Silverbolt or what!? :S The pic makes him look nothing like either toy! :b

Yeh that seriously annouyed me since the first Henkei images surfaced, could someone please tell me the engineering of the joint section of the toy. Is it a simple lock and ball mechanism?

To me, it looks like a socket but I'm not so sure till I try it. Gonna consult lcz128 on that when I bring it around to his place next time.

Powerglide's shoulders use ratcheting joints, though fortunately it doesn't sound like the more complicated spring-loaded ratchet joint.
