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.

"

­­Images have surfaced over on HK-TF­ of another non-official 3rd party produced Generation 1 Sixshot figure.  The manufacturer of this figure, dubbed BY-01, is not yet known but it is not Mastermind Creations who are behind the soon-to-be-released Hexatron figures.  You can view two preview images of the new ­figure below.

I have updated the Media section of the website to contain a episode summary and complete image gallery from the latest episode of Transformers Prime, Episode 25 One Shall Stand Part 2.

The gallery contains over 350 images from the episode at 1280x720 resolution.  If you have not already seen the episode, then its best to avoid the gallery or at least to avoid reading the test that covers the events of the episode.

Don't forget to check out our sister site that is dedicated to Transformers Prime www.transfomers-prime.com

GameStop has posted even more information on Transformers Fall of Cybertron, confirming characters such as Grimlock and the Combaticons.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron transports you to the final days of the planet Cybertron where you will experience the darkest hours of the apocalyptic war between the Autobots and Decepticons. Embark on an adrenaline-fueled journey through a wide range of missions and massive environments designed around each character's unique abilities. With the stakes higher than ever before, you play as a variety of Transformers, including Grimlock's nearly indestructible T-Rex form and the legendary Combaticons forming into the colossal Bruticus. Fight through both sides of the Transformers' most epic battles leading to their legendary exodus from their homeworld. Transformers: Fall of Cybertron allows you to go head-to-head as Autobots and Decepticons with its multi-player online mode. Create your own personalized character and weaponry with the most advanced and in-depth customization ever before seen in a Transformers video game. 

I have added three new image galleries containing scans of September 2011 issue of TV Boy, the October 2011 issue of TV Boy and an old back issue of Figure King (issue 111) to the Media section of the website.

All of the scans are mirrors of thread that were originally posted on ModXToys.com
