KOToys have announced that they will be producing a limited run of repaints of Transformers Universe Powerglide as PowerRat, a Cobra Rattler themed figure.
Mock-up images of the figure have been posted on their website along with the following announcement:
"There will be a Limited edition of 500 pieces of POWERRAT - a CHMS KO
KOToys Exclusive POWERGLIDE DECEPTICON COBRA RATTLER G.I.JOE
TRANSFORMERS CROSSOVER.
This will be done in Rattler Matching Navy Blue, with Grey as the secondary color (Rattler Missile Grey)
The Paint scheme will be based on the following Black stickered Powerglide Photos Below.
The
41 on the front will be about 1/2 size as shown, as will the front nose
Cobra Signs. The 41 and front cobra sign will be on both sides of the
Toy (in the photos there are stickers on only 1 Side.
The Wings
and Tailfins will get Z06 and a Cobra sign as shown in the photos. The
rear Turbines will get the 41-88B markings (also might be trimmed down
to half the size shown with the stickers.)
I added a poll to this thread to find out if people like this sticker selection.
Please keep in mind the proper colors rather then the black body.
The Nose will also get a black coat, and so will the body part of the front of the cockpit
The chest will get a grey decepticon Logo
The Heart will be painted Cobra Red.
I
would like a snake wrapped around / going through the heart also - I
think that would look kick ass - or the head of a cobra opening up in
the center of the heart - but that paint job might be too much, so might
just go red heart or if enough ppl convince me, black heart.
Face will be grey like the missiles with Red eyes and probably red 3rd eye/forehead dot
the
crotch will only have the 2 outer details painted black (no paint where
the black background is painted on the original Jizai toys powerglide -
black paint will go where there is grey on the original )
IN
ADDITION TO THE POWERRAT, there will be a Limited edition of 100 hot
house (just opposite powerglide colors, no hot house stickers)
Limited edition 100 Gray DIY
Limited edition 100 Black DIY
Limited edition 500 Bad Boy
and Limited edition of 1000 Powerglides regular color - we will be getting 500 of those
and
probably some DIY regular colors Red/Grey Powerglide kits (because the
actual run of Powerglide is very small) probably 100 or 200 sets like
this.
