Silverbolt is my favorite. The underside kibble bothered me until I realized that it is actually reminiscent of the XB-70 Valkyrie, which the alt mode design is inspired by. The ratchets all around, full articulation, stability in both modes and awesome upgrade going from supersonic civilian airliner to military supersonic bomber/interceptor full of kill just works for me. That is one hell of an upgrade!
Onslaught would be next. Robot mode looks powerful and imposing, I like the headsculpt and homage to the G1 design, just wish he had an awesome high powered, huge assault rifle. I also wish mine had the corrected soundbox for the sirens. Articulation is great all around, and it reminds me of a wild Decepticon gladiator that Megatron stores away to keep an element of surprise, then unleashes him upon the Autobots when battles go bad. Kind of like Brawl in the movie.
Powerglide is disappointing. The side intakes near the nose destroy the look of the A-10 alt mode. Imagine it without those and it looks almost spot on to an A-10. The visual balance is thrown off with those things on. In robot mode, you have to loosen the wing hinges as they will break the soft plastic catches if you don't, yet once you loosen them, they are not secured to the body well. Initially I grew to like the robot mode appearance, but as time went by, the high mounted head along with the skinny limbs and barrel chest throw off the look. This is the weakest of the new Universe Ultra molds, and one I wouldn't really reccomend.
