Weapon: Gattling Gun
The Transformers Galaxy Hong Kong Fans Group have uploaded an extensive image gallery of a prototype X-Transbots Glider (aka Jazai Toys Powerglide). The images show off the figure's articulation and mold modifications, mainly the inclusion of ball joints. We also get a nice size comparison with Generations Warpath.

Looks better than the MakeToys one. What's with the Badboy repaint? And why does he look remolded?

Looks great... and to scale with ole Warpath. Nice. I can at least display Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Warpath, and Powerglide together.... right?

Or Windcharger and that Botcon Huffer on a shelf...

Or big Powerglide and Seaspray over there on the other side of the room....

Somebody... step up to the plate and make me a full set of minibots in the same scale. :BANG_HEAD:

And people thought MP-10 had duck feet... :lol:

Not too bad looking. I really like the scale of him. I may pick this version up too along with the MT one if the price is right.

I think that's the original Jizaitoys Powerglide kit, but repainted into Badboy by the photographer (Resin kits usually being colorless and all), and he looks remolded cause the X-Transbots version is modified to have more articulation.

It's a great transformation, but I hope they figure out a way to keep the pieces locked together. Is this the same maker that just released Wheelie last week?

Apart from that seemingly loose hip connection, and based on looks alone, this one seems better than MakeToy's by a considerable distance.

Way better than that injustice by MakeToy's. See MakeToy's, see how much better it could have looked without the damn screw in the forehead? :VEHI:

I just noticed that KOToys is saying that this release is from CHMS. Just to put that out there. CHMS seems to have a rep for good KOs, so maybe it's a good sign.

I have been hearing otherwise about their KO's. This might change my mind.

Why does every 3rd party Powerglide made has to have this Super-Deformed goofy look to it? Can't they make a proper modern Powerglide without having him look so outdated and cartoony looking?

The official Hasbro Ultra one is pretty bad but I can't say these are much better. The only decent Powerglide so far is the DOTM Scout despite the movie aesthetics and he is just an ok toy.

3 3rd parties so far making this character and IMO none of them are worth it.

The originals were made by the same people (Jizaitoys), this Powerglide and that Wheelie are KOs made by two different people (CHMS made the Powerglide, don't know Wheelie though).

The CHMS Seekers I got were decent .... but not perfect.

@cannonfodder4000
There're two Jaizitoys Wheelie KOs coming out, one upsized, so CHMS / X-Transbot is probably making one of them.

Weapon: Fusion Cannon
It's a neat little figure, and the proportions seem correct to accomodate for the alt mode.....but I'm just not sold on the robot mode. It seems like a perfect upgraded-translation from original toy intent, but I don't know that it has a proper, fitting place in the Classics/Universe/Generations line-up..if for nothing else than the size of the head with its Jawa look (or Final Fantasy Vivi, He-Man Orko look, should you prefer).

I hope it is from CHMS. I am comfortable spending money with KO toys. They take good care of me many times.
