The only problem is 99.9% of the real Gats Blockers for sale are missing the Diaclone drivers. That was the nice thing about the KO Gats Blocker, 5 Diaclone drivers. I bought 2 KO sets from Chimung.
If you just want the Gats Blocker itself, I have 2 extra sets, 1 KO & 1 real Diaclone Gats.

That was you!? :-x

I think I'll just save up (for a long time) and buy a mint one. I'm mostly just interested in the Gats Blocker itself, but I'll need Diaclone Pilots for The Great Robot Base when I finally get one (after winning the lottery.)

BTW how is the KO? Are the wing joints fragile? Do the lower arms have the same problem that plagued real Gats Blockers?

I'm not completely sure, but I don't think this is a KO. It looks exactly like the Takara release.

I* just looked at the packaging, and you might be right.

I'm sorry to admit I've never heard of him before. I really want him bad though. Anybody know where I can get a real one? if not the KO will do. Ready to buy now. :grin:

Lucky me!!! I found brand new knock offs of Cybertron Optimus Prime and Doubledealer today at the swap meet. Fantastic.

They look good posed, but expect shoddy KO quality.

How can I tell the differenc between a KO Sludge and Slag and really good condition originals? Is there anything noticeably different with the KOs?

I've seen Ultimate Bumblebee KO. He's hallow inside.

You mean the plastic is thin?
It obviously has no electronics.

Look for Hasbro/Takara branding on the figure, and maybe its production date as well.

I just found a cheap Bruticus KO and i'm getting it tommorow.

If you've seen it then please tell us everything you know. How big was it? Did the sculpt look ok? Did it look like it was good or poor quality?

Do tell. I'd like an Ultimate Bumblebee but not for 80 bucks.

by **thedistinctroom** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 7:55 pm

I'm surprised there hasn't ever been a Grandus KO made. If it was made properly, I know it would sell.

by **Verbatim** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 9:28 pm

Can anyone tell me what this is?

by **Verbatim** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 9:30 pm

Oh, that's not right.

Let me try it again.

No. You can actually see the hollow chest, from the side. Just like Alternator Hound.

I don't know if this has been mentioned or not, but there's a knockoff of Movie LP on a blister guard floating around. It has horrible looking plastic, the hood doesn't transform at all to form the feet, it just seperates into two blocks and the wheels on Prime's legs are removed as they lack any hinge to fold up. Also, IIRC, the gun is not attached to the arm either and the cab part of the truck just stays as a solid block when transformed to bot mode. I saw it at my local hole-in-the-wall hobby shop but didn't have my camera with me at the time.

Leader prime, you say?
Ouch, that sounds horrible.

I got the bruyicus today. The helicopter guy's arms broke off. But that was my fault i think. I don't think there's a way to glue them back in. I still use him to form Bruticus. The plastic is pretty sturdy. I like the way he looks, the space shuttle is not black, but black and white, whick i like, because it looks more authentic.
and yes, he's an exact copy of the mold. Nothing was changed exept for the colours.
He came in a blister package with a "Justice Robot" logo and pics of Cyb. Starscream and Jetfire on it.
I rate him 8/10. 2 points less because of the fact tha the choppers arms broke off. But again, that must've been my fault.

It's the guy on the right. Mine looks EXACTLY the same.
