[quote="Repair Bay"][quote="necrocron9"]has anyone seen these combiners sets? wonder if i'm the first? found them at Walgreens, G1 Bruticus is there also.

i scored the g1 combiner sets at my local Walgreens today. The devastator is pretty cool

by **necrocron9** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 2:36 pm

Superion turned out to be pretty solid with all looks aside, but Devastator was my disapointment. Moldings and fittings were off and plastic was weak enough to break before I could get him fully assembled. :sad:

Too bad, he would have looked decent.

Here are the Minibot KOs I picked up...

for sure as long as ko's are cheap enough they are fun. at least they dont try to be the real thing unlike the expensive remakes of swoop, mirage etc.

Pic of my knockoff gestalts (excluding the Brave Max ones):

I fixed up the animal dude's left leg with a bit of nail polish, so now he's standing tall! He's still about an inch shorter than the others, but he didn't cheat by tacking on a ton of extra pieces.

i buy KOs for 2 reasons:
cheap and easy to cannabalize.

i have an orginal Superion gestalt.
well, he was almost complete. he was missing his feet.
well, by accident, i found and then spent 10 bucks at wal-mart on one of those easter basket sets, and the next day, i bought two more. gave the baskets and goodies to a couple kids down the block, kept the superion sets and now i have parts.

i always had one problem when i first started buying them:
the menasor set had all but one stunticon.
and they replaced him with a technobot. what the heck?

one last thing: i know it isn't a KO, but the Universe Superion comes darn close as far as quality.
i bought my set from KB online, and within 5 minutes of getting them out of the packages, i broke an arm just trying to transform one of them.
touchy pieces.
i was able to return and replace him.
now, god, someone help me get a KO predaking.
:sad:

yep, i play with mine. love to. as much as i drool like a misguided teen at Hefner's mansion at the sight of some of these collectors' pictures of their wall of trophies, i feel sad. how can you reach in there, pull out Ratchet without knocking a dozen others over and then play?
sad.
back to topic.
i spent about 6 hours (as i waited for a girl i adore to PM me) looking EVERY F^%**n where for the KO Predaking.
found 2 auctions, but the shipping alone was astronomical.
it sucks to spend 50 bucks to ship the 35 dollar set of toys ya bought.
but thanks to this thread, i am getting stoked at the cooler KOs, and the chance to add a few to my collection.

May even buy a KO of Omega Supreme- G1- for actual playtime. his alt mode kept me distracted for days.

keep it up cloners. (suck on it, Jango Fett. The empire can't be the only ones doing knock offs.)

wes crayon. which versions are your various gestalt ko's, ie where did you get them?

thanks.

For anyone who is looking for the k.o. dinobots just type in The Dinosaur Store then goto educational products and under that heading Transformers.Not only can you see every toy in the set but you can also buy them as well.Its a lot less expensive than e-bay and though the articulation is limited,the quality is excellent!

Too bad the dino stores pics are screwed up for me

yay 1000th reply

by **jorod74** » Sat Nov 03, 2007 2:34 pm

which TF KO would you buy even if the colors were almost god awful?

me, i personally wouldn't mind dropping 20 on a purple sky lynx or maybe 50 for a funky G1 Scorponok.

but for the moment, i will obsess over da 'King and keep hunting.

oh, i was stoked about that shockwave till i saw the head sculpt.

i was at the CVS my sister works at and they had some KOs in their xmas isle. there was two sets that looked like duocons, but they werent. they were made with the same idea as duocons. 2 vehicles combine into a robot.

also they had the galaxy defender ultra sonic shuttle. where is he from? i have seen that mold before.

EDIT:top of the page! WOOT! :grin:
