Transformers

In October of 2011 KOToys.com announced the upcoming release of their exclusive third party Transformer Power Rat. Power Rat is a recolor of their CHMS X-Transbots Powerglide toy, done as a homage to the Cobra Rattler from the G.I. Joe series.

Despite being a homage to the fictional Cobra Rattler jet, the design of Power Rat is clearly based on the A-10 jet, not the Rattler, since Powerglide becomes an A-10. The most noticable difference is the placement of the engines on the tail, not where the Rattler has them placed, on the front wings.

Note: This isn't the first time we have seen a Transformer crossover with the Cobra Rattler. In the 'Devil's Due" comic book series Skywarp and Thundercracker were reformatted to transform into Cobra Rattler jets. Snake is not the only G.I. Joe theme third party Transformer. There has also been Grand Patriot and Snake.
