That's a pretty decent looking KO right there. The black and gold reminds me of Animated Elite Guard Bumblebee. Very nice colour scheme.

I notice that the chest doesn't separate as in the official toy. Any other differences/ simplifications, and does it transform okay?

the bb is kinda odd, like a mix of prowl, sunstreaker and goldbug...
but i'd buy it.
arcee... well, the simplicity of the mold is visible.

What happened to the rest of the thread?

I was wandering too. It seems lost after the web is up

The Harddrive the site is stored on died to death.

So there's large chunks of missing data.

Is this a KO of STAR CONVOY????

Not sure that this has been posted, but (I think) there is a KO of the Cliffjumper Upgrade on ebay. The silver on the fenders look spray-painted with red coming through (unless it is just a bad pic). I guess it says custom, so I don't know that it is technically a KO:

supposedly this is a knock off. an ebay member contacted me letting me know that it isn't the fansproject cliffjumper upgrade set. i however already paid for it. I guess i can't complain though, nowhere does the auction claim to be the fansproject set. I will report back whenever i receive the item to comment about the quality.

Can anyone really complain about a 4th party remake of a third party product? Didn't fansproject stop making them after the first run? I hope whoever is "knocking them off" makes more and sells them cheaper. There is demand for more of them if they make them cheaper.

it's not as simple as that. generally when people make knock offs they use cheaper materials to make a quick buck. I mean, who wants a cheaply made piece of crap? that being said, even though the person who contacted me complained and got their money back, I'm going to take my chances with the item and hope it's a decent enough quality for display.

Sometimes KO's have cool paint schemes. like that one red and white KO Classics Megatron. That one is AWESOME

Sunstreaker is another KO that should be out by now...

My girlfriend works at dollar tree and when we went to get her pay check i tagged along and found these

I haven't seen these KOs before,they are of brimstone,leobreaker and scrouge(who wasn't there)
Brimstone and leobreaker come in diffenrent colors and for a buck they seem like a little project.

collecting good KOs is an art onto itself!

I think the mini Fort Max is a gemstone!

I found similar knockoffs at a Dollar Store yesterday. I picked up the Brimstone one because I thought it was cute, and painted the right colours, surprisingly!

What's weird is that my normal-sized Brimstone had a wonky left arm, and so does the mini one - I wonder if there was a systematic problem with the mold.
