I wish Hasbro took some liberties and make more original figures in the bayverse aesthetics again. The receny leaks showed they're making a rumble and sunstreaker for SS so it'll be in the Bumblebee movie designs so I'm hyped for that too.
I will say, as weird as the guns/missiles on the wings behind propellers may seem, old WWI planes had interrupter gears in their gun systems that allowed their weapons to fire *between* the propellers without damaging them. Now, putting MINIGUNS may seem a bit weird, but it’s also an alien robot sooo… Also funnily enough, the “DC” on Powerdive is a reference to a decal on the original G2 Powerdive toy. Weirdly, G2 Powerdive was a helicopter, but his teammate Ransack WAS a WWII style plane.
love highbrow so much ! his plane mode is sweet, the little goggle helmet is cute, and he seems decently poseable. powerdive just cranks it up with helmet ! love how they took the old look of highbrow and contrasted it with the modern helmet on powerdive ! only thing highbrow is missing, is a graphic on the side. great review !
But I love this mold cool funky design, and with me loving ww2 gotta have it. Went for the poweedive though I collect mostly decepticons, as cool as highbrow is powerdive fits in with my collection much better.

I’m curious to see about those. Because I got a feeling it’s a error and what it means really is SS86.
This Powerdive is super cool. This toyline is great. Bludgeon and Mindwipe+Skystalker are also great.
I also love Hailstorm. I wish they all got SS reissue with better scale with each other.
Looks to be based on a P-38 lighting, with a mix of other single prop planes

While yes, they did have weapons that could fire through the props, they didn't have giant machine gun on them.
Looks like a heavily stylized p38. Interceptor type fighter.

I wish I had got this guy back in the day.
I like powerdive wrom the esthetic look the colors look petter with the mold
Alt modes are loosley based on the real world Lockeed P-38 lightning from ww2
Could you do a review on the Hunt for the Decepticons leader starscream or DOTM Deluxe starscream? If you own them ofc
i loved my power dive but i ended up breaking the gears cause i used it too much
I was wondering if you'd ever talk about this guy
