It looks like they are attempting to put a ball joint on the tail rutters.

If only someone would put out a Powerglide figure or 12...

Powerglide: the Bumblebee equivalent for the 3rd Parties and KOers...

That's just a prototype. The actual product would be red.

I was under the impression that the Jizitoys Powerglide was a resin kit that you painted and assembled, plus it's deluxe sized. This will be a finished product, and scout size. I can tell they stole the design, but it will end up making a smaller finished toy, not a model kit. Plus can you even put that Jizitoy kit any more?

If you know it's a KO of Jizzai's Powerglide, then why did you ask?

Because it's not ENTIRELY Jizzai's Powerglide, it's just based on it, with changes to the size, colors, and finishing. Plus Jizzai's Powerglide isn't really available any more is it? I can't find one anywhere.

its pretty much the kit, im guessing they switched the polycaps out for abs ball joints, and sized it up to deluxe scale.

no, only on secondary market now.

Um, I don't think it's even been released yet. I've been keeping an eye on some online places and I've yet to see a release. If this Powerglide version is out already then my eyes are not as peeled as I think they are. Or I'm thinking the wrong toy.

Personally,I just don't see the point in this thing. Because we've got the DOTM Basic/commander Powerglide toy that seems like it's in the most accurate size scale for a updated toy based off the old 1985 powerglide toy size.

for those who like super over sized updated homage G-1 toys. we've got universe walmart ultra sized Powerglide.

I don't feel the need to spend those 3rd party TF toy prices. considering we already got 2 cheaper retail liscensed versions of powerglide made,the dotm commander & universe ultra powerglide toys.

I don't hate 3rd party TF toys. as I own a few & will get some more in 2012 like hexatron,chms ultra magnus,dinobot combiner & so forth.
