Anybody seen this thing before?

If it's a good quality product, I'd be interested. Kind of a lot of money for that gamble, though. It'd be nice to know who, exactly, made it.

Huh. There's a lot of "things pretending to be hands", but it looks pretty cool. Kind of a customizers dream.

That was kind of my reaction, too. It's sort of a blank slate to turn into and number of other things, but, again, the plastic quality would factor heavily into any decision to buy it. Plus, the fact that I've only found one on the entire 'net so far is weird to me.

Transpolice aka swat shock attack alloy deformation city defense.


Same dude did a lengthy text/images post over at tfw in the ko thread a week or so ago.
I watched the video and the toys are more similar to brave, megazords or robot/carbots like mighty guard for example.

I'm tempted to get them for the vehicle modes more than anything, the heavy metal and floppy joint mean the gestalt doesn't stand up properly.

They don't have anything to do with transformers or defensor, just rescue / police themed toys like loads of other rescue emergency services themed stuff.

Neat, thanks!

That combined mode does look really unstable. I think I'll skip it. It is a nice little piece of trivia, though.

Speaking of which, does anyone know anything about this crazy mess?

It looks oddly endearing but it's probably total cack. Given the whole set costs about £55...yeah. Has anybody else noticed that Defensor seems to be the combiner that cheap Chinese imitation brands seem to like to copy/"homage" the most? Outside of the large amount of actual KOs, there's the Star Cats Rescue Team, there's whatever this thing is, and there's the team that started this thread. I guess the Chinese really like rescue vehicles.

Honesty though, were it not for the lack of space, funds and my reservations about buying cheapo Chinese toys, I'd be tempted to buy some of these and have them as generic Autobot troops. Some of them actually have pretty neat designs.

Jesus Christ that Woody face is terrifying. Like, it makes Revoltech Woody look cute and cuddly.

I'd like to know where I can BUY it, because that's crazy to the point of being awesome! I loves me some bizarre TF crossovers!

Yeah that Century of Deformation Combiner (I think by Wei Jiang) has been around for ages. The same dude reviewed that one also (lots of metal, very heavy, but good quality overall) as he is really into combiners of all sorts, including official, 3rd party, ko etc.

I'll probably buy this at some stage.

I've seen that red one a few times; it's interesting, if not eclectic.

My attention has been on these because I'm looking for base figures for customization projects I'd like to try in the future. I'd like to do a team that's all cars. If I could figure out a good way to do a two-piece torso with CW cars (while still incorporating the connector ports from the Voyager figures), I'd be set. Until then, I'm gonna be on the lookout for all these funky, off-brand "Space Deformation Super Charge Destroyer"-type things.
