Maketoys Powerglide

this Maketoys's Powerglide definitely is more to legends/ scout class group. think by time (last 2 years if not mistaken) when it'd planned to be issue out, this powerglide is to complement the legend class of Henkei's series that time (bumblebee, cliffjumper, brawn, cosmos, etc.)

part of me said, well, wut a waste to such gud design tho.

in comparison here to the other (various) minibots counterpart that in my posession, of hasbro's warpath (deluxe size), igear's seaspray (legends/ scout) & cosmos (scout). not bad side by side with seaspray n cosmos here, but to extend of with warpath... hurmm... maybe beter i get my hands (back) on the xtransbot's powerglide? (got stock with my supplier tho, rite now.. but havent got that extra budget. ha.ha.)

let's start again with basic review sequence (tink so). yup. the packaging box by maketoys here realy neat. same as the later (then now) of laser prime's G2 battle tanker box formatte. this powerglide do come in a set of (hard to get nowadays) Seaspray - which totally a legends class - n' shared same manual instruction sheet together (already on sale in just a day n someone asking for it to be reserved. cool)

as for its alternate mode, yup, it certainly do reflect its G1 looks with same not too bright red color. the transformation sequence quite flimsy tho, whereas both the cockpit n' the middle part of the jet can't seems to be in-tact properly :( there's a gap between both connection points. rest of it juz look nice.

robot-mode, all i can say is maketoys did a splendid job on its design. other than that xtransbot one can be open powerglide chest to reveal his "heart" n weapon storage, this one (maketoys) did justice on its articulation-wise, looks n' playability...

verdict: its really (i really meant it) rare nowadays, lucky enog to won a sole ebay auction from UK to get my hand on this powerglide. so whenever u encounter on such auction or saw him at any toyshop, beter still spend your money on it - either on personal collection or investment (later on) - cuz it is cute enog, got lotsa articulation even tho small in size, QC really gud n' had simple yet best transformation (other than that defect's mention earlier on - myb its juz mine unit tho..)
