    This is getting confusing. So at some point we'll have:

    -Jizaitoys Wheelie & Powerglide (released)
    -Jizaitoys Wheelie & Powerglide KOs (released)
    -Plastic Jizaitoys Wheelie & Powerglide KOs (to come)
    -Upscaled plastic Jizaitoys Wheelie & Powerglide KOs (to come)
    -Upscaled die-cast Jizaitoys Wheelie & Powerglide KOs (Wheelie released)

    Correct?

    The joints on this powerglide are similar but by no means identical to the others.

    But no one has mentioned that there's a test shot of the Renegade Bad Boy / White Powerglide (could be also based on the A-10 in the 2007 Movie or the diaclone testshot of Powerglide) in the shot as well as the black Powerglide - so they are doing a Go Bot or a diaclone colour Decepticon Minibot!
    like this : Bad Boy (2004) - Destron - www.tfu.info

    Should add weight to the KO toys site being lobbied by some to make CHMS Ramjet into The Gobot Renegade Fitor !

    Fitor - Renegade - www.tfu.info
    Bad Boy - Renegade - www.tfu.info

    And what with the Cyberverse Commander Powerglide being repainted green perhaps a Green one might show up too.

    But regardless its a new member of the Decepticon Airforce and one of the few things Hasbro has done right the last couple of years is give us some decent jets like Terradive, Spacecase,Hatchet, PCC Skyhammer, Thundercracker.

    So I'd buy a repaint of Powerglide almost with more relish than PG himself - though I wonder if the realised they could have made Hothouse too ?

    This Powerglide shits on the Maketoys Powerglide.

    Now which one to get? This one or the iGear one? Decisions, decisions.

    BTW, where is the link to the oversized ones? Or is this just speculation.

    The original garage kits got bootlegged too apparently. All the metallic-painted variants that showed up on Ebay were not legit. Or so I've been told.

    I have the upscaled diecast Wheelie and plan to get the same in Powerglide. For Voyagers or MP displays he fits great and the diecast is awesome. Very nice quality. I probably will get the smaller scale one for my deluxes though.

    The good thing about this one is that he has hand peg holes.

    YouTube (Legacy):
    Surely Jizai could have found a way to get these to the mass production market before now if he were interested. You snooze, you lose.

    I'd like it if he approved these (pretty sure he didn't), but considering the HUGE improvements to quality and price - I have a tough time feeling bad for him. I'm not going to miss out on them thanks to some high horse I feel like riding. Some people would consider his work to be KO in the first place.

    Everybody should own these designs.
