Grimlock broke on me when I first tried to transform him. The joints were too stiff and his pelvis held his legs too firmly in place so the rivet broke off at the end. HOWEVER, I still like him and plan on buying a replacement (which will NEVER be transformed). The others are good quality too. I don't know if the G1 versions come with detachable fists, but that's how these ones transform. They'r enice if the bigger ones are too expencive for you, if you like G1 dinos, or like small toys.

I think they are great. They are a little loose and have many small parts that could become misplaced. Esp fists and snarls plates. They fit in with the WST transformers. And they kick but next to unicron and or fortress maximus.

I would get them. I like the christmas exclusives that come in G2 colors.

I LOVE mine. And I've had no QC problems with any of them.

I love these things. Can't wait for the other two. Omega Supreme needs some scenery company.

Even the box art and what not is amazing!

Yeah get them at TFsource. Shipping is only a meager $3 bucks since they are so small. Good deal all the way around.

I've got the first three, the next two on pre order, and I'll probably pick up a second boxed set of five once all of them are out jsut to keep handy if any of the open ones break for some reason.

When are Swoop & Sludge due to be released?

by **Iron Prime** » Mon Oct 08, 2007 8:37 am

I only have the 1st, Snarl, but I love 'im. I hope to get the rest soon. Definately worth getting....

There is only one way they can be improved.
Thats is better stickers.

Luckily Reprolabels has solved that little problem.

In conclusion: they are awesome.

Are these actually made by Hasbro or Takara?

Nope. 100% unofficial....

Jostitoys, the guys that made the MP megatron upgrade.

Thanks Snarlus Prime and Dead metal!

I guess, they must high quality KO's then?

You would be correct, Sir! However, like Redimus said, lookout for the stickers....

by **olokin** » Mon Oct 08, 2007 10:06 am

Do you have images of the packaging? Your comments have piqued my interest

by **Obsidian_Prime** » Mon Oct 08, 2007 4:23 pm

Like a LAYs potato chip commercial says, you can't buy just one!

Swoop and Sludge are supposed to be out this month if all goes well.

I am one of the lucky owners of the golden 'lucky draw' Snarl version.
