Another Good RM KO

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this jet mode was never an official transformer before, was he? I think they just took the RM Jetfire body and slapped this jet shell on him. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate it if that is what they did. Makes a black KB repaint to go next to a G2 Bomber really easy.

Soundblaster playing "Dance" music, can you upload the video in YouTube?

What song is that?

No, that mold has been used by Hasbro before. In the Generation 2 line they released three different jet models with that gimmick, each in two different color schemes?one set for the Autobots? and one set for the Decepticons?. The jets included a swing-wing fighter, a reverse-sweep wing fighter, and a F-117 Stealth fighter. I own all six.

Here is a link to Seibertron.com?s Database section for the Cyberjets as they were called. It includes all of them, including the original G2 versions as well as the later Robot masters versions?http://www.seibertron.com/database/list.php?view=hasbro&f_subgroup_id=80. The G2 CyberjetStealth fighters were the Autobot? Air Raid, and the Decepticon? Skyjack.

I Bought this KO Onslaught and has a lot of differences with the other Onslaught KO's

Bot Mode

The leg connections are circular allowing a 360 degrees rotation to the leg members

The Arm connections are the same of the Megatoys/Polyfect Toys counterparts

Vehicle Mode #1 "Military Truck" (Missile Turret & Radar Antenna)

Vehicle Mode #2 "Container Truck" (Caja de contenedor)

Gestalt parts

Feet (Robot extension, but with some modifications we can have feet for the gestalt)

The plastic is good for a KO, consider this toy as "Ideal for experiments"

You know, I was actually about to question that, but I doublechecked, and realised you're right - for the States, anyway. I also have all six - but what you got as Autobots, we got as recolours of the same Decepticons. Odd.

Just got them tonight, and I have to say, they're pretty good condition. Granted, there are still some pieces that stick out, due to the posts they used to fill the molds, but the plastic is surprisingly pretty good. Scourge is amazingly well sturdy, joints are tight, etc.

Pros:
-joints not loose on any of them
-pretty good plastic
-Wing Saber still separates to prime's arms/legs, and it connects to my deluxe-sized Prime KO
-don't need power keys to activate power key functions

Some minute cons:

-Vector Prime is not well painted, his front end id a detachable stump that doesn't connect to him in robot mode, and he only has one wing per side as opposed to 2.
-Crumplezone has a very slight front end/chest connector problem that could probably be taken care of with a bit of sanding/whittling, and I got him with his rockets disconnected.

All-in-all, a pretty cool set. I'm happy with it

Aww, what a cute little Vector prime :lol:

just saw a KO RID Megatron and two KO Optimal Optimus' over at BigLots.

The Megatron appears to be overscale, about the size of the Optimus, which is about the same size as the original. And there were two different paint schemes for the optimi. One close to the original colors, one in red and gold. I think I have some photos from my camera phone I can get up in a bit.

I just picked up a 2 pack of Quickchangers Transformable Robots. The plastic bubble says Robotmasters Victory Leo, but it should say Victory Saber. Star Saber and Leo in one pack for 3.99. They combine for Jet and Robot modes, and Star Saber even has a little Saber bot that combines with his sword to make the little jet. This is a really awesome toy. Sorry, no pics yet.
Pics!

How do you think the deluxe sized E Wing Saber would fit little E Prime? Also, is that RM Victory Saber set from Biglots?

...Still looking for a KO Perceptor and Soundblaster... :p

It doesn't fit the mini-E Prime, but it fits my deluxe E Prime (the one with his 4 trailer vehicles/appendages), but it fits my deluxe-sized KO fine. Y'know, the one that combines with the other Energon deluxes. It doesn't fit that miniature version of E Prime

They're from a store in Tulsa called Tuesday Morning. Kind of like Big Lots only smaller and no food.

Sorry about those multiple posts. I was having trouble with posting last week (or was it a week and a half ago?) Don't know why they posted now. But I hope you like the pic.

The KO Energon figures are arriving in Tampico, the set included Terradive, Windrazor and oversized Micromaster Raker (Sixwing) as Bonus.

Quality: Good for be a KO, it's a cheap alternative for complete Superion Maximus

All-right, here's some stuff you may encounter at Big Lots and what not:

KO Lio Convoy and Heinrad:

KO Sixwing and 2/3 Devastator:

KO Tapes(found at a more or less generic Dollar Store). Probably 2-3 times larget than the originals.

I should probably URL these. And my old camera wasn't that great.

Like the old one this is going to be stickied. This is a good place to talk about the obvious KO's and then the not so obvious G1 KO's.

Good, Glad to see the thread got stickied.

Anyway, I have a question regarding the Predaking Knockoff. Hows the Plastic quality? I've been meaning to get one of those, but wasn't sure how the plastic holds up.

How does it hold together, and besides the gnarly white color scheme on some limbs is it pretty accurate to the original?

How accurate is the KO Predacons: Predaking is to the real Predaking?

The quality of the plastic is impressive compared to the other KO's you see during Easter time at Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Meijer’s or what you find on eBay. The plastic is very solid, hard and the weight of the figures is nearly identical to the real G1 Predacons: Predaking. A few problems with the figures are that some of the limbs are really tight and need to use a little force to move them. Also a very few of the limbs are loose and I had to tighten the screws to tighten the limbs up. The figures are held together similar to your typical Gestalts except for the legs. Razorclaw has a stump behind his legs that snaps towards the back of Rhino and Bull animal heads. When the figures are in Predaking mode, it's tight and none of the limbs are showing any signs of falling off or disconnecting. I didn’t like how they used 2 different color schemes for the figures and the stickers are applied pretty well. The paint on the swords can be easily scratched off, but over all a really impressive KO of an original G1 Predacons: Predaking without spending $200 for the gift set…
