I think Windcharger would have been a better choice with there already being a few Powerglides on the market.

Maybe one day they'll see sense.

Brunkion76

Excellent, my favorite minibot. A new Windcharger would be cool as well I guess, but like so many other people, I just want a redo on Spray and Rager. My vote for his name would be Thunderbolt, after the obvious A-10 design he is modeled after. I may just keep going with my own personal version though

eriku

Considering the naming-trend of 3rd Party toys lately, I will be very disappointed if this one isn't named Astroglide.

In all serious, yay! Another Powerglide to add to my growing stable of Powerglides.
I like how they've done the arms - keeps them tucked under the wing nicely and adds double-jointed elbows.

Also this thread title should be changed to have a reference to Powerglide and iGear.

Transbot90210

Hmmm what does Powerglide do with the Seekers whenever they meet in the air?

Dogfight

Bucket Head

wasn't there an autobot named dogfight?

if he takes the form of an A-10, perhaps THUNDERBOLT?

bucket

Pcm979

I suggest Thrustpipe.

Composite Ghost

Boner Champ.

How about name it: Unnecessary

SCPrime

this is great. I don't like the big headed maketoys version nor the floppy xtrsnsbot version nor hasbros version.

Master Blaster

hmm, now do I get this and sell the Xtransbots, or keep the Xtransbots and forget this....

I guess it depends on what stupid figure they pack it with.

I was the third or forth person to post on the Facebook page but now I'm way down the list and it looks like I copied Greg. I did not, this is a matter of great minds thinking alike.

Dogfight is a cool name and its what he always did. And it infringes on nothing owned by anyone. 😜

Haven't seen the price yet...but that'll likely be his middle name.

Wasn't Dogfight a Triggerbot?

Sidbeckett

Probably the most attention Dogfight has had in years.

Megatron31

Cupid or electric sail

Predaking000

Not interested in the X-Transbot version (toy design stolen from Jizai, and floppy), and while I liked the MakeToys version, ultimately it was too small. So yeah, I'm interested in this.

As for names...as long as it's genital-related, it'll be consistent with those of the other 3rd-party toys and I'll be happy.

Scaleface

Considering Powerglide's personality, I say call him Ralph. ( Honeymooners reference.)

rosewater

As long as he's between Legend and Scout size, I don't care what you call him. Although "Thunderbolt" is both relevant and dope.

originaljk

Could use Warthog also. Or just shorten it to Hog. Rename the Maketoys one Wart with that big screw in the middle of his head.

jerminator

I suggested Superfly.

yes, the blue one on the left

Sean Whitmore

Awesome. I've been looking for a good "small deluxe" Powerglide since watching a review that showed what a piece of crap the X-Transbots version is.

Thundershot

Dogfight's out since there is a G1 Dogfight already..:

Based on past Mini-Warrior names, I would say "Glide" would make the most sense..

Astronopolis

how about Red Gust?

Yeah, since other companies have gone the phallic route, iGear may as well jump in too.

My guess is they will call him "Enormous Genitals"

eriku

Reference his famous episode and call him Heart On.

Sidecutter

I had to give it a go..I suggested "Bombast".

How about ACE, The MW's like their single word names and Powerglide was an ACE in the skies.

Murasame

Forceslide

SG Roadbuster

Mr. Carlton Ritz

blueben

Just Glide will be nice.

AnegefalosGR

Heart Breaker

jedijoe

A-10 Thuderbolt?

KY Jelly? ...

K10 or K10 Thunder!

*see what i did thur!

but in all seriousness, im glad for this!!!

the powerglide from make toys SUCKED!!!!
unstable, undersized... when compared to the mini-warriors...Make-Toys "minis" just ..just suck!

lee9

Go back to the minibot size, and I'll call it "mine".

Master Blaster

I put Aviator, but I quite like Thunderbolt.
