IS NOTHING SACRED?!

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

(don't really care tbh, surprised they could KO Intimidator though. Wonder how good the quality is . . .)

Like anyone is going to buy a knock off of a third party figure. I don't get it. :-?

Probably cheaper price. Allows folks to enjoy the figures without taking out a second mortgage on their homes and whatnot.

Some TFW members are saying that KO Intimidator is oversized. While KO Hercules is undersized.

Not a surprise. From the looks of it they might have reduced complexity as well, in typical chinese KO fashion.

Wow, these are kinda hilarious.

They're just like the majority of KOs of official TFs, simplified hollow cheap things that look sad and could fall apart any minute. Usually when we see KOs of 3rd Party stuff, it tries to be as close as possible to ripp people off.
these look more like they recreated the figures based on blurry images they found online.

Yes, It is kinda sad these were made by a KO company doing them in the low quality, short cuts style. Would have preferred a KO company who does higher quality work and no short cuts tackled this project instead.

Looking at that undersized KO Hercules. It appears the short cuts took away articulation. created lower sculpted body parts and so on.

The KO FP Stunticons look like they have short cuts under sculpted robot heads and simplified Transformations.

Might be interested in buying a oversized KO of FP Motormaster if it's leader scale. So it can be display on my movie verse leader toy shelves next to Optimus.

Haven't seen any out of package pics of the TFC Aerialbots. Hoping their the same scale and have minimal short cuts.

looking forward to KO companies doing the Three 3rd party Predakings next.

sorry, Duplicate post.

These are just sad. It's like they're saying "kill me ... please."

I'd like some better quality pictures of all of them, though. Just to fully gasp how terrible these are.

im pretty sure the breakdown KO has an optimus prime head...

News Credits: 12 · by **Evil Eye** » Mon Dec 29, 2014 6:57 pm

Well at least these KOs will be easy to tell apart from the real deal...

I almost wanna get the Hercules KO. :p

News Credits: 293 · by **shajaki** » Mon Dec 29, 2014 7:42 pm

i just watched the latest retro robot radio, and he claims the stunticons are voyager sized. and i think the herc's are the same size? i forget that part.

I hope Scaleface doesn't mind me posting these... (And I finally decided to subscribe to his YouTube channel.)

A related Mobile Android App review:

Assembly into super robot!! (Along with some very attractive hands...ahem...was that out loud? :shock:

)

Transformation from bot to vehicle.

You know, if the plastic was decent enough, I could see buying something like this for my kid to play with...

You shouldn't buy Chinese KO toys for your kids might have lead paint... you know if there's any paint apps on it.

Also they'll break horrendously and I don't think the kids would be very happy about that. Especially when the shards of cheap toxic plastic get impaled in their fingers.
