How about pink, that okay?

have any pictures shown up of the actual Ko itself?

i MEGA want a ko version if the quality is decent. i think its insane to pay 90+ for a trailer which makes g2 classics prime slightly taller and gives him lots of kibble

Since I prefer the Car Robots Black Battle COnvoy... yes.

This is just getting stupid. Maketoys put a lot of work into this thing and it is one of their premier efforts... and well before it is even sold out, some jackarse is already KO'ing it? I really hope that the KO is a piece of crap. Otherwise, everyone's just going to flock to the KO, Maketoys isn't going to be able to get a proper return on their investment, and we might just see the end of a promising new third party developer.

I don't like KO's. But at least with Hasbro, they're big enough that they probably don't get hurt by them too much... And with something like Fansproject's City Commander, at least the original sets were much more scarse (if not sold out completely) before KO's started showing up much. But this, such a fast KO of a product from a relitively new company still looking to establish itself... That is just such a dick move.

if its a decent price and decent quality then i could care less to be honest... i WANT to buy the offical maketoys battle tanker but £90 is ALOT for something i will display on my shelf and hardly ever touch

£40 seems at least reasonable if the quality is ok

I'm with Yotsuyasan on this. Quite frankly seeing a knock-off of a third party transformer item has to be one of the most crass things I've ever heard. And to have one this quickly is just plain horrible given that Maketoys started with this set. I may not think dropping 100 bucks on the official set is the most worthwhile thing I could do with my money, but I'm not about to go after a cheap replication just to save a few bob... I take advantage of the BBTS sale instead.

so are these out? Is there any way to tell them apart? I know the pic is hot pink, but I have to imagine there'd be little point in that and the actual KO will come with he proper colours, or a close approximation. I could see an all-black one doing fairly well with people who can't wait on Hasbro getting around to doing a proper Scourge.

why would i pay andy £70 when i can get the ko for £45 with free postage from other sites?

only reason andy has even lowered the price on this now is coz he knows everyone will buy the ko

Jury's out on the KO until we hear something about quality.

I'm perfectly fine with paying full price for a quality product. It's all well and good if it looks nice in photos but if it's total crap in-hand it's a waste of money completely. And, from what I gather from that garbled babelfish translation, it looks like they KOed the original, Prime-destroying head, and not the head that actually worked.

But jury's out until someone gives it a whirl.
