Question Character choices for Universe Ultra

Sorry if this question is being repeated but I am still unclear why Powerglide was chosen along with Onslaught and Silverbolt as the first group of new Ultras?
Does anybody have more info?

The latter two were both combiner leaders while the former was a mini-bot?

It's just not making sense to me... I hope the other combiner leaders get the Ultra treatment too!

But Minibots should be small! We already got the seekers in deluxe anyway, I think the largest Powerglide should have been was voyager like jetfire.

Re: Character choices for Universe Ultra

Personally I think Powerglide should be a deluxe and Octane should be an ultra....

OMG... Ultra Razorclaw!!!! I agree that Powerglide should have been a Deluxe at most. But if they're gonna make another Ultra Class flyer, I'd love for it to be Cyclonus... though that's not gonna happen since they'll be bringing him in as a Deluxe.

The old size class is irrelevant. Powerglide is just a name. Onslaught and Silverbolt were much smaller in G1 and no one is complaining.

Re: Character choices for Universe Ultra

I defiantly thought they were bizarre choices for ultra classes, but then again, I thought the bringing back of the ultra class was a surprising choice as well. I think it is kinda weird to own a Powerglide that is larger than Optimus or Jetfire, but I like the figure, and bigger is always better, right?

Or get a Energon Skyshadow and use him as powerglide.
