After seeing this, I will be picking up this version. The other one just had a huge head. (That's what she said)

I like how the instruction sheet has him named Powerglide... you see it?

I didn't until you pointed it out. Also calls him an Autobot.
This one might just cross the line for Hasbro and TakaraTomy.
Even iGear didn't go that far. Close, but never used the logos or names.
This might be the first step towards the 3rd parties getting shut down. Dammit.

If the Henkei and G1 KOs didn't get KOToys shut down, HasTak won't act on this.

Did you notice the bottom left corner "Copyright" but instead of a circled "C" it's "X"
That's like the Chinese company that named itself "Made in USA" so it could stamp its logo legitimately on its products and fool people into thinking the product was made in the U.S. I think this Powerglide is a rip off from Jizaitoys. Too bad.

Depending on cost, Powerglide will be having a good year for me. That Wheelie is so bought.

These guys just aren't doing it for me for some reason. Looks like I'll be going with MakeToy or iGear for my Minibots.

There are pics of the final product over on TFW... I might actually be interested in it as a Masterpiece Wheelie, if the price is fairly reasonable. Looks higher quality than that crappy Arcee Valkyrie figure I wasted my money on.
Where are these going to be available?

It's fine, I had a feeling that's what you meant. Not a bad looking figure for a glorified ko, depending on availability I'll probably pick him up.

It's a glorified KO of a toy I originally really wanted so I have no qualms with it. I feel bad that Jizai Toys tried to do it legally and essentially gets shafted...but I'd be a hypocrite if I blasted this yet have been buying those eBay WSTs for some time now. Not to mention the Justitoys WSTs as well. Anyway, looks cool and if they can keep the price reasonable I will be all over it.

The finally versions look really good. I wonder how much they will be.
