Fans Toys Warthog (Third Party Transformers G1 Powerglide)

Warthog (AKA Powerglide)

Vehicle Mode: Some of these third party companies really need to make their designers spend some time actually transforming the toys they design so maybe they will realize when the toy is too hard to transform and make some changes. This is the most aggravating, infuriating, maddening, exasperating, frustrating, irritating toy I have ever transformed. This makes me long to transform toys like Masterpiece Movie Optimus Prime or either Masterpiece Megatron, toys I swore I would never transform again. What sucks so bad about it is that it is absolutely gorgeous. Powerglide is fucking amazing, the best version of the character I’ve ever seen. I can’t even be angry I bought it. You’ll note the back panel on his left wing, it popped out and I didn’t notice, probably because I was just about screaming at it by the time I took the picture. You’ll also note the dark stripe between his engines. His roof isn’t quite closed properly. This was the best I could do. Front of the plane wasn’t awful, everything behind his wings was a fucking Trump-level nightmare. Every time I plugged in a panel, two more popped out. The wings are on a hinge that swings so they can plug into the fuselage. That connection is terrible. It popped out so many times I can’t even tell you. If that one connection was better it wouldn’t have been nearly so bad.

Robot Mode: In robot mode Powerglide is equally amazing

Overall: If you decide to buy this toy, do yourself a favor, leave him in robot mode and save yourself from hating it.
