This is the most exciting news. I really like the molds, hell, even Octane has been pulled off well. The Alt form for our buddy Onslaught might be a little... different, but damned if the robot mode isn't brilliant.
Prowl is of course my favourite, and I'm extremely happy that we have a new mold for Powerglide, not just another Wing Saber

They look kewlage!
...it really sucks how they're calling Octane "Tankor." Really... really... suck to hell.
Why couldn't they do "Decepticon Octane" or even "Mega Octane"?
It... it's almost as if Hasbro's not paying attention sometimes... (-_-)

OMG, a Powerglide who doesn't suck!! (sorry Powerglide fans, but the original toy is to silly for me to take seriously).
Alright I'm impressed, so far I can't find much to dislike, except maybe Powerglide and Onslaught being so big.
I like that Powerglide looks more like a fighter jet than he used to, and he has the classic head.
Prowl and Sunstreaker both look pretty awesome, and they aren't suffering from an absurdley large missile launcher weapon, or lame looking weapon like Rodimus and the seekers.
Octane looks interesting, seems better than Astrotrain.
I like Onslaughts robot mode, not sure about his alt mode, I hope its not to big next to Prime and Megs.
So far, as a whole I think there better than wave 1, but seeing is believing, and then there's colour choices, so we'll see.

Check out this photoshopped repaint someone did for Universe Powerglide!

if it doesn't come with octane colours, then the customs boys is going to be busy with repaints to Octane

I am also calling mine Ocatane despite what the berurocrats say!
Looks like we will not be getting a red Powerglide
This kind of harms the tribute a bit I think. We don't want completly realistic, we want Powerglide!For POWERGLIDE there were a few important design considerations. First, the design team wanted POWERGLIDE?s head to still have a dome-like point, but in a more updated way. Second, his wings needed to be in his shoulders as they originally were in G1. To stay true to the realistic nature of the Classic Series, the deco will be more silver than red, but with multiple red cues to connect to POWERGLIDE?s original look
