No.
You needed to remember one thing relating to it, which someone did.
You then needed to go "Hang on, that reminds me of X", which none of you especially Pinwig did.
Would you like me to tell you which guess is closest?

I love the way Jim got boxed sets from milk tray. Those CW set inlays really are like chocolate box trays.
It's not Blueshift's idea is it?
Can't be. Single character Phil says.

Milk Tray Man is a kind of anonymous spy type who doesn't really have a personality.
Err... Why me? I never know any of these.

I'll give you a clue: It's not Sludge and it's not Ultra Magnus.

chromedome?
If it's the covered in chocolate guess, he is the most notoriously brown classic character I can think of.

It's not Chromedome (are there 5 Chromedomes?) and it is nothing to do with being covered in chocolate or Lava (but I've already eliminated Magnus so you know that)

Sludge and Ultra Magnus are popular with the ladies, but it isn't them and we've already done Skids...

But didn't you say "Transformers the Ladies Love" ... I'm not going to pursue this line of thought any further ? ;-)

Jim, you're so good at this. And I should have got it because of Sunbow Sundays.
All because the lady loves.

Stupid really, I should have had it hours ago, but got it in my head we were looking for some kind of group rather than a specific character.
I hear "Cadburys milk tray" and of course "all because the lady loves..." Is the first thing I think!
Sludge and Ultra Magnus made it so obvious I literally face palmed.

5. _shrug_ 4. CW G2 - see below; I do not have this but it's nice to see 3. USA Edition - some fans really get their knickers in a twist over how big he was but I thought that was ace; his biggest problem was not pegging together very well in robot mode. I sold mine on in favour of... 2. Combiner Wars - this is a nice little update, high fiddle-factor, but a bit fragile 1. The Original - my brother's first Transformer when I got Gears. Those arms!

Week 232: Powerglide
5. Universe Powerglide: I really like the humanoid mode on this toy. It has a heft to it, and a sense of solidity which suits something that turns into a vague approximation of an A-10. The alt-mode is pretty good as well. Except for some odd additional details - like the extra air-intakes which appear to bear no relation to the engines whatsoever. It gives it rather a "hamster-cheeked" appearance which is a bit of a shame. 4. DOTM Powerglide: Surprisingly good toy. Reasonably interesting transformation, has a fairly "classic" look to it in humanoid mode - not too gangly in proportion, reasonable looking faceplate face. Alt-mode is very nice, and considering the size is well supplied with accessories - a set of mavericks and LGBs for one wing, a targeting pod and a pair of Sidewinders for the other gives it pretty much a normal combat load. One of the better DOTAMan toys really. 3. Combiner Wars Powerglide: A decent retread of the original toy, does exactly what it sets out to do in replicating the look and feel and the play value of the original - with the added feature of being a Targetmaster for larger toys into the bargain. 2. Combiner Wars G2 Powerglide: Really nice recolour of the CW mould. (Even if it does look a bit like they ran out of grey paint and some of him is just in primer :-) ) 1. "The Transformers" Powerglide: Probably one of my favourite Mini-Autobots. Surprisingly accurate vehicle mode, fun transformation and good arm articulation. Just an all-round great little toy.

Just remembered Bot Shots Powerglide! He's pretty cool, he should be at 4 in my list.

5) 1985On the one hand, best articulation of any Minibot. On the other, fragile, oh dear those wing hinges, and it was an Autobot plane which was just WRONG! Decepticons are planes, Autobots are cars - Autpobot, Auotmobobile..... that's going to be another of those things Burns never got isn't it? 4) DOTM Very decent small plane. Would have done as my Powerglide, but better was to follow. Great repaint too which I wish I owned. 3) CW G2See bellow for the toy, but the G2 version deserves a mention in it's own right. Of course Powerglide never had an original G2 version so they needed to make it up and went for G2 Sideswipe's trick of swapping the colours in turn producing something that references his Universe 2 version and his E-Hobby repaint. Fond of this as mad repaint, more so because it's a smaller toy that was effectively a boxset bonus. 2) Wal*Mart Universe 2 - To this day I'm not sure how they managed to get the colours on the Universe 2 version so wrong! I like them, I think they look good on the G2 version but as something purporting to be the Powerglide we remember? No. The Japanese Universe USA Edition is far far better, and the one I had for several years but the Wal*Mart edition, sadly not sold in Asda, is the best getting the arms grey and the rest red. 1) Combiner WarsSuperb. The only downer is the QC roulette on if the legs are flush in plane mode. Otherwise it looks like the original, but a bit bigger and with decent articulation AND has a bonus Targetmaster mode! As well as the G2 version above he too has a superb repaint.

Bad Phil!!!
Nowt wrong with 85 Powerglide. The arms are fab! Loved them as a child AND AUTOBOTS CAN BE PLANES. Next you'll claim the Aerialbots were supposed to be Decepticons!
