I found a new one (to me anyways). It's an oversized knockoff of G1 Darkwing/Hydra in white, complete with powermaster and guns, but the powermaster mechanism is disabled, and in fact Throttle is a solid non-transforming brick, but still shaped like Throttle! Even through the jet is enlarged a bit, Throttle is normal sized for a Nebulan. He also comes an extra sword weapon, which is odd since he already has his hands full with his two guns. I did figure out you can put the two guns together and have one hand hold them.
The jet is about 9.5 inches long, and the real Darkwing is only 8 inches long. so it's about 120% the original size. The originsl toy was 1/84 scale jet.
Cost $6 at Big Lots. I wish the powermaster transformed, since it's harder to find him than the jet these days!
Funny thing is that he's plastered with "F-18" and he's not one, he's a Panavia Tornado jet.
This was the ONLY one at the store I saw. I hope they make a Dreadwind, so I can see if they combine.
I just opened it up. The quality is fairly good. The legs have a bit of trouble staying extended. I checked out the original toy instructions and noticed it was not packaged in the correct form for jet. The whole thing was not folded properly in the legs, but I can put them in the right way. The head extendig mechanism works properly when you rotate the body.
It's a little tough getting the nosecone folded back without a powermaster, as it still has the latches holding it together and nothing to disengage them but brute force.
The parts needed to make it into Dreadwing are included, although it has trouble keeping it's nose fin extended.
The fist holes on the right and left are actually different sizes. It's designed to put a rifle in his right hand and the sword in his left.
Due to a slightly loose right knee he stands slightly to the right when I can balance him on that knee. He's about the size of a Voyager.
He has lots of stickers, but all but one are only visible only in vehicle mode, leaving his robot mode very white and boring.
Anyone got a name? I'm thinking of Cloudrazor.

It's got the wrist-claws and not that lame molded-in fist like the LOC. Also, the KO has the full "loincloth armor" instead of the LOC's little sculpted thingy, as well as a tail-axe. It's not folded up against his back like the little one.
