But what Victoria's Secret model will play Astoria?

Powerglide possesses great bravery and showmanship and is so skillful in the air that ace human pilots are known to have studied his moves. His acrobatic prowess compensates for a lack of endurance and physical strength. Plus he's just not that smart.

  • Series: 1
  • Number: 006

  • Accessories: 2 x Missile Pods

Part of the second wave of Dark of the Moon Cyberverse Commander single-pack toys, Powerglide is a near Scout-class-scale figure that transforms into a heavily-armed A-10 Thunderbolt II attack plane. His fists and hand-weapon are compatible with the C joint clip-weapon system. The two detachable missile pods can be combined to form an "assault weapon", which is basically his missile pods clumped together.

He has significant balance issues in vehicle mode. Specifically, he has a heavy tail/legs section, and while his landing gear can be tilted further back (beyond being pointed straight down), there are no possible landing gear configurations that can be made to prevent him from tipping over to his back with all his landing gear deployed. At best, you'll end up with his thighs touching the surface, or you'll end up retracting his front landing gear and have the cockpit touching the surface, instead.
