Transformer Powerglide Kitbashby *timshinn73

Artisan Crafts / Dolls, Plushies & Custom Toys

Here's my take on Powerglide. It's a kitbash of a Revell 1:72 scale A-10 Warthog model kit. I also used bits from Bionicle and Stikfas (arms & feet), Games Workshop (details), Marvel Megamorphs (Wolverine hands), some laser etched metal detailing pieces, and a cheapo robot from Walmart (gun). The rest is plasticard (lower legs & faceplate). My main goal was to try and make a TF close to it's G1 self (toy and cartoon as inspiration) using a real vehicle and with as little cheating as possible. Not sure if I was entirely successful, but I had a lot of fun working on it.

It's funny to think of the original G1 Minibot as a real world TF. He would dwarf most of the other Autobots, including Prime.

He does not transform but is very articulated. Try to think of him as a Deluxe Action Master of sorts.

I have a lot more kitbashes in the works (Trailbreaker and Hoist are next, I think). I may get around to making one that actually transforms, but for now I'll probably stick to this maquette style approach.

Thanks for taking a look!

Beautiful, I believe I have seen it on TFW2005, it's a great build

Yep, posted it there too. Thanks!

It's brilliant. I want one

Considering how damn big he'd be if he were a movie TF, he'd tower over Blackout, then. Blackout was hailed as the tallest TF from the new movie (towering over even Megatron & Optimus), yet his toys didn't replicate that massive sense. I can only wonder what Powerglide would look like.

Speaking of aricraft carriers, Michael Bay wanted one in the movie, and we might see one in the sequel. Any chance it might be Powerglide? I keep thinking it might be Jetfire.

I hope there isn't an aircraft carrier bot in the movies. I want to see '84-'85 Autobots & Decepticons. The classics.

~RobotMaster3 Sep 10, 2007

Yeah. I still say you should send in your Soundwave idea to them. That would rock so much, man.
