A review of the CHMS Xtransbots Glider has been posted YouKu, the Chinese equivalent of YouTube. Naturally the reviewer is speaking in Chinese, but we still get a nice look at the figure. This is an upsized and revised version of the JazaiToys Powerglide, not to be confused with the yet to be released SuperAlloy Powerglide Warrior, which is also an upsized version of JazaiToys Powerglide featuring a healthy dose of diecast.

There is so much going on in the leg transformation, it is pretty amazing. Very impressed.

This is a very nice figure I may be sticking my neck out but i think it is way better than the Universe Ultra figure.

That seems to be the gist. No one's confirmed it for sure, last I heard, but all signs point to yes.

I like the figure, but I was hoping for them to hide the face. Transformation is very interesting, especially the cockpit sliding around to be put inside his chest.

I like how it's deluxe-sized. Don't get me wrong, I dig the Ultra class I have, but this one would look really nice with my collection......

I hope they do a Huffer too....

I dunno, it looks like an interesting figure and it's decently G1 accurate, but something about it looks off, like it needs a little updating or something. I dunno if it's too blocky or what, but it looks more like a cheap toy instead of a sweet action figure. I do like its scale, though.

I would assume since this is made by CHMS that it will be a KOtoys exclusive.

This is much better looking than the DOTM and Universe versions. I will order it now!

Is there any way to order this without going through KO Toys? I refuse to spend a penny with them.

Ace's Toy Store. Nice people, excellent service. They carry CHMS among other things. They don't carry the G1 bootlegs, such as combiners but they can special order them for you.

I don't like this,it's way too blocky & weirdly designed in both modes. it looks more like a takara scf pvc figure than a toy. i also don't like all the extra costume pieces all over the waist section.

the over sized head makes it look like a bobble head toy or a one of those super deformed gundam robots toys.

this is not for me.

I like the design (Jizaitoys), but I'm not big on the really washed-out looking colors or the cheap toy look of this. I'll gladly go for the other one instead.

Kind of a shame they didn't take a chance at improving the original design, they could have added a few pegs/peg holes here and there to make it a bit more stable and some joints should have been redesigned as well.
Still a very impressive piece and at least looks to have way tighter joints than the original JizaiToys figure.

This is an unlicensed copy of a previously licensed (by Takara)kit by an independent company.

I'm not getting into the niceties of this is legal or not but for Primus' sake! Is there no satisfying the so called experts?

Powerglide wasn't much of a looker. He's got a phallic shaped head with no actual feet(at least until he was animated in the show).

Jizai (the original manufacturers)did engineering wonders from the original Takara mini bot design. Given the limitation of the originals, that the figure managed to have an actual molded legs and feet deserves accolades. And all we are hearing that this is blocky, why wasn't it updated and all this schlock!

This was a G1 blocky as a brick design! What'd you expect? Jizai wasn't going for an update but a more robot like figure from the original brick he came from jeezzzzzzzzz!

Makes me wonder how this design could be implemented otherwise?

That looks very impressive. If it's a decent price I may have to get one.
