Powerglide is an Autobot from the Animated continuity family.

"I may not fly, but at least I'm the right color!"

Powerglide may just transform into a truck himself, but he still lives up to his name when it comes to piloting aircraft. During the Great War, he was one of the best fighter pilots among the Autobots and an expert on aerial acrobatics, though he had a bad habit of showing off rather than fighting properly. After the war ended, Powerglide continued his line of work as a civilian pilot.

Powerglide was among the crowd welcoming home Sentinel "Magnus" and cheering on the capture of several Decepticon prisoners. Decepticon Air

He was later seen wandering around on Cybertron when Captain Fanzone was accidentally transwarped to the Transformer homeworld. This Is Why I Hate Machines

Later still, Powerglide was among the Autobots cheering for the triumphant return of Optimus Prime and his crew to Cybertron. Endgame, Part II

He also appeared cheering for The Motor Master's Stunt Convoy show. The Stunti-Con Job

Notes

• Powerglide transforms into a treaded ground vehicle^[1]. A Cybertronian truck, to be more precise. This would be in keeping with the "Autobots don't fly" motif, just like how Highbrow also converts to a ground vehicle despite his original series namesake's aerial alternate mode.
• This model was used as the basis for Animated Air Raid.
