I have seen alot of these knock offs on ebay and am thinking about picking a few up (bruticus and devastator mostly, maybe defensor). How cheap are these guys and are they worth the 25$ they will cost me?

I'm not sure if they are the exact same ones, but the Devastator knockoff I purchased is decent. I think I only paid $15 for it though and I don't think I'd pay any more than that, it's pretty cheaply made.

When I got my KO micromaster devastator 2 (not just one) major pieces broke off within a minute of opening the package.

They are worthless in my opinion.

They are junk. Don't waste your money. The plastic is cheap and falls apart.

You are better off with the Universe Micromaster figures. They are better made.

Here is an auction for Devastator: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... :IT&ih=004

They cost more, but the quality is worth it.

The KOs are hit and miss. Some of them are very well made some are pure trash. Problem is you have no way of knowing which is which till you actually get them. I've bought two KO devastators. One was broke in the package and basically crumbled when I took it out. The other is actually of higher quality plastic then the official WST figures.

I have WST KO Defensor and it's good quality. However, with KO's it's hit or miss. They shouldn't cost more than $15.

You get what you pay for.

On a side note about KO's. Soundblaster and Perceptor are totally sh!tty(I also assume Hot Rod is the same type of plastic). Also, Liokaiser is good quality but not the right scale, it's WST scale.

It sux to find this out the hard way.

I actually enjoy all of my WST sized combiner KOs quite a bit except the Aerialbots. Mine are all solid enough to be considered decent... My aerialbots fall apart though.

Be prepared not only for poor quality plastic, but horribly ugly and badly placed stickers.

WST Combiners I found worth it...Menasor, Defensor, Devastator, Bruticus... Also WST sized Fort Max KO is pretty good.
