yea thats wolfang....I jsut paid for it last night so it should be on its way to me.....but i found this guy through a transformer for sale website. I also got the razorbeast, k-9 and iguanus.........but theyre not chrome. The dinobot is my fave one and I wont ever part with. Wish I could find more of them.

If I see anymore Ill make sure to pick them up and share the wealth. Maybe one of you fellow ko collectors know where I can find these?

Has anyone seen a really basic looking scaled down Alternator Meister (Jazz) KO before?
By basic I mean he is about as complicated to transform as a FAB.

I have walked past one every day this week, and have never seen him before.

Where do I get those big mini-bots?

Pyro Obliterator looks neat - does anyone know who the original mold is??

Whoa... I've never seen this, but I'd sure like to!

sry guy.....I dont remember the site. It was an ad to sell them. These are the only ones he had. So all 6 ko's I bought were all he had. I think it was t classifieds or something like that.

If I decide to sell the polar claw or the wolfang chrome ko's
or any of the other ko's
Ill let you know, if your interested in purchasing them that is.

Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse, but what exactly is the name of that Large shuttle KO at CVS right now?

Mon Dec 03, 2007 5:58 am

I wish i could tell you optimist as that pic seems cool but I don't even know what CVS is.

Another KO Movie/G1 Prime on ebay, don't know if it's news to anyone but it doesn't seem to be a direct rip of any TF mold I know of.

Optimist: I mentioned this a few pages back -- it's apparently a knockoff of Granbird from Solar Hero Fighbird. More info here:

Supercollider: Man, I really like that Optimus! That seems like a pretty nifty transformation to say the least -- and unlike the official movie Optimus figures (at least as far as I know, anyway; I've only seen pics) he's not sporting a false windshield for his pecs! Sweet.

Today I managed to pick up some of the Cybertron Legends KOs. They had some in 3 packs at Poundland, all seeming to be a Leobreaker (saw yellow one, I got red), a brown and grey Scourge and a yellow and light gray version of the Swoop type guy. All quite fun, certainly worth the £1 I spent. Considering painting them up in G1 Predacon colours.

I've got those. Leobreaker is alright those others are crap. My Scourge's head was on backwards and Swoop's robot head is still visible in his other mode.

I also picked up the Big Lots Beast Tech-Fighters TM2 Megatron (that's where he was a dragon right?) and what I'm assuming is supposed to be Optimal Optimus. Megs isn't too bad but Optimus? Oh my Primus is he bad. I also got KO Gestalts that I have no idea who they're supposed to be. They also had KO's of Rodimus, G1 Ratchet and others. I'll be going back this weekend.

CVS is a drugstore/pharmacy here in the States, similar to your Alliance Boots.

Wait, your Big Lots had Rodimus, Ratchet, and other G1 KOs?! I've never seen any of those at Big Lots -- and I've never seen G1 Ratchet KOs period. Do return this weekend and get pics!

Heck, get extras. Unless they're new, you've stumbled onto some rarities.

I just dawned on me that one of my KO Gestalts is Sixwing. They actually only had one Ratchet and Rodimus and I put them back. Watch them not be there when I go back.

omg, now those look worse that toys from COBI... seriously.
worst. colours. ever.
the changeables!

A new KO. Although I'm sure everyone's seen him at Big Lots... I picked him up because he was the only one of his three that had combiners that had their own robot modes. After getting him out, he's not all that bad... Pretty decent quality and he's really neat-o. As always, my picvtures are thumbnailed:

I've got these guys! I don't really like the plane one -- the quality of mine isn't so great; his parts don't fit together very well and transforming him the first time required me to use excessive force -- but the Rodimus-type guy is pretty neat. I haven't gotten around to opening the drill guy yet, so I've yet to form the combined mode.

I gave the plane guy's sword to Classics Grimlock.

Wed Dec 05, 2007 3:50 pm

I had to nail polish this guy's parts three times to get them to fit... Ah well, its KO's. To be expected.

The drill guy is definately my least favorite. His head just sits there in bot mode. Needs a little trim work to even rest without a gap between his body and head.

Actually, the plane one was my favorite of the three. Despite having that T-rex arm disease thing going on... I think he had a decent plane mode going on.

Hey, does yourRodimus guy have "Marlboro" written on his windshield? That really caught my interest. One, because its cigarettes name on a children's toy, and two, what does that mean, to have a company's name on a toy.... ??

Getting him to go together was kind of a pain in the arse. You have to seperate the drill guy in half. Have to. Then, you're really going to have fun trying to attach the plane. But once you get it, it fits pretty snug. I like how his gestalts arms are constructed. Gives him decent arm articulation, despite being a total brick. I also like how the plane wings can be posed next to his head. Its sad that he comes with two swords and the ax, yet only can hold two of the three. I'll have to look at my collection and see if anybody wants giant gestalt sword... :-?
