What purpose this served (other than being disturbing) is not immediately clear. They went on a date or two, but (fortunately) the only lasting result was a series of flashing lights under his chestplate in the form of a stylized heart.
Soon after hooking up with Moonracer, he was somewhat smitten with the fleshling female Astoria Carlton-Ritz after saving her from the Decepticons. During their vengeful attack on the Decepticons, Powerglide met up with his girlfriend, Moonracer, who thought Powerglide was awesome. Once there, he was disbelieving of Starscream's claim that Optimus Prime had been destroyed. Dinobot Island, Part 1Īfter Megatron demanded Optimus Prime's surrender in exchange for Elita One, Powerglide was among the Autobots who followed him to Cybertron. After Spike unwittingly got himself into several dangerous situations, Powerglide flew him back home. Later, after it was decided that the Dinobots should be relocated to the island, Powerglide led the large brutes and Spike to the island. Powerglide had to save Bumblebee from an aggressive pterodactyl then attempted to repair Bumblebee's damaged jetpack, before abandoning it and flying Bumblebee off the island. Inside the temporal anomaly, they discovered a prehistoric island inhabited by dinosaurs. A Prime Problemīumblebee and Powerglide were sent on reconnaissance mission to investigate some strange energy readings out at sea. He literally appeared out of nowhere to save Spike Witwicky when the boy had been thrown overboard Megatron's spaceship, after the latter's plan to use a clone of Optimus Prime to destroy the Autobots failed. Powerglide was a brash barnstormer with a penchant for spouting gung-ho sayings like "And awaaa-aaa-aay we go!".
"Hey, human, when I'm in jet mode, you fit in my head." Some day, it might.įiction Cartoon continuity Voice actor: Michael Chain (US), Hirotaka Suzuoki (Japan) If this means he will seek out ever tougher foes to prove his mettle - then he'll do that, even if it kills him. He is good, and he knows it, and he misses no chance to show it. In fact, Powerglide's skill only aggravates his greatest weakness. Like the flying aces of World War I, Powerglide resorts to dogfighting maneuvers, using his flying skills to confuse and evade the enemy. Furthermore, his speed and power, impressive as they are, are vastly outclassed by most aerial Decepticons. Powerglide is lightly armed with small concussion bombs and a nose-mounted thermal beam, and the former is practically useless in the air. Yet this seeming frivolity has saved his life countless times in combat. Barrel rolls, tail stands, death spirals, screaming 3200-mph powerdives: none of these are too tough for this Autobot barnstormer, and if he has an audience, be they friendly or enemy, he is guaranteed to put on the air show of their lives. No, Powerglide is an aerial acrobat, able to perform stunts other Transformer planes would never dream of. Give him any excuse and awaa-aa-aay he goes, dashing off into the stratosphere at 500 mph - but not in a straight line. (AFPN) - What do the Air Force’s first stealth fighter, a toy that has been around since the 1980s, and a director who loves big-budget, special effects-driven movies all have in common? The answer is the DreamWorks project, "Transformers," being filmed here.Powerglide, unlike most Autobots, can fly under his own power, and it goes straight to his pointy head.
