A review of the CHMS Xtransbots Glider has been posted YouKu, a Chinese video sharing / social network. Whilst the reviewer ris speaking Chinese the video us all a great look at thhis up-scaled version of the JaziToys Powerglide figure. You can virew the video below

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.

TFW2005 member Fabermax has posted images of the Transformers Dark of the Moon Cyberverse Wave Two Powerglide toy.

This is what he has to say about the Transformers toy.

So on to a quick review. After opening him, I will say some of the hype died down. He still is a cool homage to PG, but this figure needed to be a deluxe! Plain and simple. He is just too small in my opinion. As you can see in the pic with Cliff, CJ towers over the lil guy. And as some had speculated the head DOES NOT turn. The transformation of the front of the plane doesn't allow it.

Speaking of transformation, the plane mode by far outshines the robot mode. The alt just screams G1 Powerglide, much more than the Universe version does. Again, why oh why couldn't this have been a deluxe. The Transformation of this guy is pretty slick too. Although he resembles the A-10's from the Universe and RotF Aerialbots (comparison pics to come later) his transformation is more complex, and that's cool considering he is such a small bot. Think Breacher. One additional minor gripe I have is that the colors are more maroon than red. Powerglide was clearly a red plane, and this guy is more of the same color as Warpath instead of Universe PG's bright vibrant red.

The missle/gun gimmick (i didnt take pics of it yet) didn't come out that well to me. Once all the missiles combine it kind of looks like a...bunch of missiles stuck together to look like a gun. More details once I take pics.

Overall he's an ok figure, not as hype as I was when I saw him in package vs opening him, especially when holding him up to Cliffjumper, but some will be ok with that since he was a minicon, but for me the minicon size has been re-established due to TF CHUG, and they missed the mark on him again. Universe was too big and now DotM is too small.
