well we all know with easter coming up soon, we will be seeing KOs in easter baskets soon. i hope i can find those BWneo KOs o saw a couple years ago.

Went to my local pound land. Found a whole lot of KO RM figures: Prime, R-Blade, Wrecker Hook and Liger. Also Machine Wars MEgs and SS. All were double-sized.

For the most part, good quality plastic. Prime is plain red and blue styling, which allows me to paint him my own way.
For a £1 a piece, a real bargain.

wOAH!!

Where in the UK are you based Crump? I want a peice if the KO action for kitbashing...

Also bought a KO reflector off Jean_Paul_Valley on eBay, he does the contructicons KO's too.
Crap plastic, hard to fit together, the accessories dont quite fit, and its not perfectly the original colours but for £10 im not going to complain as im too cheap to buy the originals.

[City Commander]

Shropshire. I wouldn't bother though.
Two days in, the Prime's arm broke (reparable), and the liger broke. Tried to fix the Liger with the same glue as Prime, and the plastic pretty much melted. Primes still good, and the other two seem alright, but real cheap plastic IMHO.

[DISCHARGE]

Anybody got the 7 inch fort max Ko. I'm looking at getting this off Ebay as it's BIN is 10 bones and shipping is the same.

The Machine Wars Megatron was double sized?

Who is SS?

I have the double sized R-Blade and Wrecker Hook and am quite happy with them. Well, I love the oversized Wrecker Hook.

Would kill for double sized MW Megatron.

I just recently recieved the container car knockoff version of Menasor and I now see why the set is only $10 US. I must say I am very disappointed in it when I first got it out of the package and tried to merge them into Menasor the left joint piece broke off I had to crazy glue it back on the foot pegs wouldn't fit into the hole of any of the other four I had to use an exacto knife to slim the pegs down just to get them to fit then I had to use a screw driver to pry the arm connections wide enough to get them to fit once I did all and with some difficultly I have managed to put them together to form a very cheap copy of Menasor and even then for some reason they replaced Wildrider and Deadend with the Technobots Nosecone and Afterburner. No idea why they did that. Anyways since I already have the origional Menasor and I consider myself an advid collector I like to try to collest all versions of a toy I decided to buy this Menasor, but after getting him despite how cheap he is I donot recommend it the plastic is of extremely poor quality and he is very hard to keep together in his gestalt mode.

[prehistoryanimal]

a couple of my guys~

Castro and Big Lots Devy
Castro Devy is awesome. Sharp mold, good sticker placement, and metal parts! Castro Devy was bought in Chinatown and Big Lots Devy from eBizzle. Oh and Castro Devy comes with ALL of the OG accessories for the Constructicons. And interestingly enuf, he is actually a mold of the G1 Devy. Big Lots Devy and the rest of the Devy bootlegs are off the G2 mold.

VS.

Prehistory Animals
Awesome awesome bootlegs of the OG dinobots.. but with extras.. Grimlock+ and Sludge+ were donated to me by a good mte. Slag from eBizzle.

[Repair Bay]

hmm...can't wait for those Easter baskets

i wouldn't mind a few more KO Superions and Devastators XD

Green, Black, and Red seekers supposed to be Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp.

[Nemesis Sturmvogel]

A Classic KO that i never expected to see again: G1 Top Spin "Transformation Fighter Robot"

The last time i saw this buddy was in 1994.



Vehicle Mode (Slightly Altered)


The quality is good for be a Knock, his friction wheels are functional.

The KO G1 Predacons arrived in Tampico & Ciudad Madero.

Here's Tantrum and Rampage
With chrome stickers and Decepticon symbols




They include Predaking's parts and Chrome swords and transparent "Energon-style" rifles


The quality of this KO's is Excellent, STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.

Here's some photoshopped images of the size of Tantrum.

[Nemesis Sturmvogel]

How's the quality of that KO Blitzwing?

[TF Hunter D]

How's the quality of that KO Blitzwing?

Pretty good. I'm surprised that both of my figures have pretty tight joints.

[Transtopias Rodimus Prime]

Do you know if the Maximus has a Spike and Cerebros? Is the head transformable? Let us know when he comes in.

[piranacon]

the head comes off on those but it doesnt transform. anttap had one of those

[Transtopias Rodimus Prime]

well, that stinks. I guess I won't get one

[ChrisR291]

Anyone know which KO is better?


OR



I want a lio kaiser but don't want to spend 600+ on a real one

[Duke of Luns]

Action Master Seekers KO: http://cgi.ebay.com/Transformers-Starscream-Thundercracker-Skywarp-Set-of-3_W0QQitemZ120031333242QQihZ002QQcategoryZ4696QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I believe those are PVC KO's, not Action masters. Note that they have wings and lasers, and that the legs are not posable. What is that tthing hey come with anyway?

And while I have no idea about the quality of LioKaiser, is that second one regular sized or 2/3 sized? You don't get H. Bat in that one though, just that weird Doubledealer thing. And I love Engrish: "Attack and Defend Arms Assemble!"

And the first one appears to come with Star Saber's sword. KO's are very interesting! How come very few of these Chinese KO's ever come to Big Lots! It's not fair.

[Starscream]

Can anyone help me distinguish if this is an authentic optimus prime from 1984?? That's what it's being advertised as.

What are the tell-tale signs of knock-off-dom? Aren't those recent knock offs of Prime like spot-on? You really can't tell if it's fake?

Here's the image!

Re-Post the image, it isn't showing anything. If it is an ebay seller, there are a couple I am highly suspect of and could be one of them. If it is a retailer I have a little more faith in the item being real, most tend to be more reputable.

[Starscream]

stupid image!!! It worked on the preview!! This is from a private seller.

here are the images I've been given thus far:

[ChrisR291]

Looks fake compared to this one

The Wal-Mart by me just got their's in and they have a bunch with the KO of Superion in it.

Anybody know who carries the Beast Wars KO's aside from Toyhell? I'd love to pick up a few of them (especially the oversized Cheetor and Rattrap), but I can't find them anywhere.

[Optimist_Prime]

A decent KO Robot Masters Optimus Prime I picked up at Pips yesterday.
