New Images of Maketoys Bomber and Hover

meh ... not overly impressed.

Hmmmm.... Looks like (if they EVER get released) they'll be a 2-pack, if the shared instruction sheet is anything to go by. Powerglide looks okay, Seaspray not so much - might stick in an order for iGears.

I'm getting mightily confused over who is doing what between this Powerglide and the other X-Transbots or whatever they're called this week, along with the notWheelie featured the other day - anybody recommend what ones to wait for, and which ones to go for as soon as the orders go up?

Why do all these 3rd parties keep making different versions of the SAME characters... it gets damn confusing. How many Powerglides, Devastators, Bumblebees, Reflectors, etc etc etc do we actually need?

I love Transformers and I love all of the 3rd party companies spending time to make awesome custom figures, but c'mon if you see one company is doing a character you were thinking of doing pick another one! That way you won't have as much competition, and maybe we can finally get some modern molds of some of the more obscure characters.

Yeah, there is plenty of 3rd party fans out there but, in my opinon, slowly but surely 3rd parties are ruining this hobby.

It is a 2-pack set. If you go to their website, it said that.

Since when did Powerglide got so popular? His "heart" made me want to throw up.

How are they out of proportion? From plain to boat that's pretty scale, and even if not, their mini-bots, so scale's never been an issue...
But to end things on a posative note, PowerGlide has monkey arms, and no elbow swivel to make up for it...so yeah, kitbashers have fun.....

Mabey not out of scale on SS but PG looks a bit off actually his thighs are tiny.

yeah, well, a perfect powerglide may be too much to ask from anyone...

At this point I'm much more interested in what iGear has to offer.

If they go back to the lighter plastic shown at BotCon, I'm on board. I don't care for the head sculpt on iGear's Seaspray.

Hmm, I dunno. Powerglide's head looks huge compared to his legs especially. I'll wait and see about these guys.
