| ~ Powerglide |
Powerglide is a character from the Transformers Generation 1 franchise. His original bio portrayed him as somewhat cocky. He is one of the few Autobots who has the ability to fly, and takes full advantage of this using massive bursts of acceleration to outpace his opponents. He transforms into an A-10 Thunderbolt II Warthog Airplane, but on the ground he is relatively weak.
History
Powerglide made his debut in the episode "Dinobot Island Pt. 1". In the episode "A Prime Problem", Powerglide saved Spike Witwicky after Megatron threw him from his ship, with no explanation of his origin. He went on to make regular appearances, seemingly replacing Skyfire as the Autobot aerial support. Powerglide seems to have a real superiority complex as he calls himself "Sophisticated", "Ace of the Air", and "Sultan of the Sky."
He had many adventures, including being shot down by a teleporting Skywarp ("The Master Builder"), acting as a "giant evil alien" in a Hollywood film ("Hoist Goes Hollywood"), delivering the miniaturized Perceptor, Brawn and Bumblebee to knock out the Heart of Cybertron within Megatron ("Microbots"), and traveling to Cybertron with Ironhide and Inferno to save Optimus Prime and battle Decepticons alongside the Female Autobots, where he was reunited with his long lost love Moonracer ("The Search for Alpha Trion").
