So, there are a bunch of upcoming 3rd party not-Powerglides now, and I love me some Powerglide. Which one was the first that was revealed? All I know is I liked that one the best. Anyone remember?

Ah yes, Powerglide seems to have become the Bumblebee of the third-party market. I believe the first prototype to be shown was Maketoy's Bomber, but there are three other Powerglide projects that I can think of:

Maketoy's: Bomber





iGear: unrevealed Mini Warrior




SuperAlloy: Based on the JazaiToys Powerglide but upsized to deluxe with diecast



CHMS/X-Transbots(from what I gather these are one in the same): Glider, also based on JazaiToys Powerglide upsized to deluxe but all plastic

Thanks El Duque! I still stand by what I said. MakeToy's got some good stuff coming. Looking forward to some of those other iGear Mini Warriors, though.

oh weird for some reason i thought the CHMS and the Superalloy one were the same. i want one of those two, as its only right to have him deluxe (imo) but i dont want to have to buy him from KO Toys (dot) com. where were people buying the superalloy wheelie?

while were at it, is there going to be a legends sized jizai wheelie? whos making that?

I want them all!

So going by this picture, igeat plans to make Legends size versions of (top row) Beachcomber, Brawn, Wheelie (bottom row), Pipes, Powerglide and Cosmos?

It looks like it but bear in mind they're also supposed to be doing the Wreckers lineup from LSOTW.



As well as Ironhide/Ratchet, Sharkticons, more miniMP Seekers and the like.

From this review it seems that the Superalloy toys are made by a company called Yom-G.

So as of right now FIVE third party Powerglides are:

1. JazaiToys Powerglide (came out as a model kit, long sold out)

2. X-Transbots Glider/Air Robot (based on the JazaiToys design, upsized, out now, has been repainted as a Cobra Rattler, ehobby Bad Boy and Micromaster Hot House)

3. Maketoys Bomber (new design, color pictures seen, not released yet, scout sized)

4. Yom-G Superalloy Powerglide Warrior (based on Jazaitoys design with diecast and upsized, box seen, deluxe sized)

5. igear Mini-Warrior, not named (new design, outline seen in art for Rager and Spray, Legends size)

From the looks of things there will be 4 different Wheelie toys from third parties too, same as the ones above, except without #3 from Maketoys.

Oh damn! I might go completion-ist on these if Spray and Rager turn out well, and they look like they are going to.

I'm willing to buy a Seaspray and Powerglide from anybody that makes them.

The MakeToys one is also Legends sized, there is also another KO of the Jizai figure on the way.
