In October 2011 KOToys.com announced the upcoming release of their exclusive third-party Transformer Kobra Power Rat. Kobra Power Rat is a recolor of their X-Transbots Glider toy, done as an homage to the Cobra Rattler from the G.I. Joe series.
Despite being an homage to the fictional Cobra Rattler jet, the design of Kobra Power Rat is clearly based on the A-10 jet, not the Rattler, since Glider 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.
Development
In November 2011 KOToys posted samples of Kobra Power Rat on their web site.[1] Later that month preorders opened.[2]
