You're getting started kind of late IMO. I gave my 1 year old several KO's and then graduated him to Transformers Gobots, and ever since he was 18 months he's had his very own Laser Prime he affectionately calls man-bot. :grin:

Hey Scaleface, who's the little guy? A Targetmaster or a Headmaster?

Powermaster/Godmaster actually.

Classics Megatron with lights and sounds. Not bad.

At least better idea than Movie Megatron's lights and sounds.

wow! this actually looks very good! if they'd only improve the box & art accuracy... the KOs can just about make a line all on their own.

I like how KO Legends BB is a Saleen. Nice move China.

Here is a better picture. It seems to be Legends Barricade painted as Bumblebee.

by **Auto Bot** » Sat Aug 18, 2007 10:40 am

They probably got the 2 characters mixed up!

News Credits: 49 · by **Scaleface** » Sat Aug 18, 2007 11:32 am

They made a Barricade knockoff too, they just were too cheap to steal 2 different molds.

I love the packaging TheChangeable Robot. Looks great. Just like TransFormers. :))

Just like Hasbro repaints. Like the Classics line Cliffjumper. Not even a new head sculp!

Indeed! Hasbro is the worst bootlegger of all.

I don't mind repaints, but it was a little cheap of Hasbro to make Cliffjumper and Bumblebee redecoes. They could at leadt give them different heads or weapons. Maybe give Cliffjumper A GUN, since it mentions one in his bio.

I went to Big Lots finally, after reading about it here for soooooo long.

I picked up a sweet Optimal Optimus KO, original size, three Devastator KO's one original(cuz it was the last they had) and two minis'.

They also had what appeared to be rough MOVIE figure ko's for Brawl and Bonecrusher.

They also had a Mirage KO two pack with what looked to be like Cybertron Thundercracker but way off.

You're kidding! Are you sure they weren't the oversized Mini-con knockoffs we've seen before?

That sounds fantastic... love to get me some of that.

The Brawl and Bonecrusher could have been the OS'd minicons but the Alt modes were dead on for Brawl and Bonecrusher.
