I like how self-righteous people get about these things. Don't like it, vote with your wallet. Shouldn't be hard given the two official (Universe, Cyberverse) and now four unofficial (iGear, JizaiToys, Maketoys and CHMS) options. Also Powerglide sort of sucks, but there's no accounting for taste and I certainly understand rampant completionism. Although I would not be super surprised if the Maketoys one and the CHMS one turn out to be one in the same.
I think that even if you have to import the currently sort-of-available Reveal the Shield Windcharger, it would be far cheaper (and superior design and engineering wise) than any unofficial version.
Even though I sorta like the idea, mainly because the more variations of un-Powerglide and Jizai-glide out there, the more likely there will be one that fits my own preferences, but it is feeling rather over-saturated (even though none are actually released yet) What'cha doin' CMHS? How about that Minerva-colored Animated Arcee knockoff instead?
I'd much rather the maketoys version or the jizaitoys version that is being made by the headmasters repro guy
Hahaha, thanks for the chuckle! Whutchu talkin bout? Powerglide gets the ladies, mang. He's like the Duex Equis guy of minibots.
