New Universe Ultra Repaints?

[jaydisc]

Saw these two pics showing a repaint each of Powerglide, Onslaught and Silverbolt with Powerglide being even more geewun compared to the Takara version. I can't find any accompanying text, but we should find out soon.

i have a bad feeling the this toy is gonna feel cheap and won't improve on the quality of the Takara version... the red has to be vibrant and bold to make it worth buying

Those are from a Hasbro Botcon display. More details to come in our Botcon reports.

I bet the Onslaught repaint is going to be Roadbuster.

[Defcon]

I was hoping the onslaught repaint is going to be Hardhead, even though he was a headmaster and a tank. Could be Roadbuster. Still scratching my head over the silverbolt repaint.

Silverbolt = Skyjack. G2 FTW.

[Defcon]

+1 Agreed after doing a searchg I came to the same conclusion, you beat me to it Skyjack it is

[Deonasis]

Looking nice I want alt modes and release dates rounded to the nearest year pronto.

onslaught is going to be hardhead and silverbolt is skyfall.
I like onslaught being repainted into hardhead, Its a fitting mold for him. Hasbro is finally doing right by powerglide, although a little late. As for silverbolt its a nice repaint but could probably live without it

The red Powerglide repaint could be Hot House. I saw this suggested on another forum. Hot House is a micromaster base, with a powerglide style aircraft. The red repaint suits the name Hot House, I wonder if this was the plan all along to give us a mostly light grey Powerglide, and release a red repaint further down the track as a new character.
