At least we can trust in Takara to release better non cheapened versions a year after the Hasbro release like they are doing with the original Classics.
I may buy the Hasbro Classics but I'll wait for Takara's offer on Powerglide unless I see an Ultra cheap one.

After seeing those pictures I don't know who I like now, I mean there all pretty good but not what they could be.
I think hasbro releasing unpainted prototype pics is always a dissapointment, we all mentaly project the colours we want to see on them, and then Hasbro does something completely diferent.
In fact the only time I can think of in recent history when Hasbro have shown an unpainted prototype and not been disapointed has been with some of Hasbro's GiJoe 25th Aniversary series. I wonder why hasbro can't apply the same detail to the Transformers lines.

Prowl for example is a toy which is hard to get wrong in the color scheme department. He is a police car, you get that right and it wins. Fortunately Habro managed to accomplish that with Classics 2.0 but cheapened out in figure impacting details such as the unpainted shoulder missiles. All that was needed was just a shade of gray but they didnt bother!!

Cheers! I legally own the magazine, its just in the states so I can't see it.
Nice to see the colours, and the piss poor transformation efforts on some.
I'll definatly be getting Onslaught, Prowl, Octane and Sunstreaker, but Powerglide is a pass.
I thought Powerglides paint job was alright, it could have been Craptacular
, I must admit, it is a colour scheme that may have suited Ratchet better than Powerglide
.
What amazes me most is the mis-transformation of Powerglide, he looks terrible with his wings splayed out to the sides, instead of being tucked into robot mode.
Hopefully his arms don't have Deluxe Brawl style "lock in tabs"
