Any idea who this is?

Oh yes, he's a KO. And quality not bad.


I've got an oversize Legends Jetfire KO, sounds like that. KO Cyberjets in the same series and the quality really is good. No pics sorry, a few more before I'll be able to post some.


Is that an A-10?


Myabe he is a KO of WingSaber. does he look like this:

Cybertron. Not sure if the feature will still be present on a KO version but the original combines with Cybertron Prime.

This guy had 3 new Transformers I never saw before. Cybertron Wing Saber, Cybertron Optimus, and a Deluxe Movie Bumblebee!

Image

Image

Image

The Optimus is very nice because it has a little G1 Ultra Magnus style in it. Am I mistaken or is that just a giant version of Legends Optimus Prime? It says it's 10 inches long in vehicle mode!

Image

Image

For Bumblebee, to my knowledge this is the first movie deluxe to be knockoffed. We have had Legends and FABs up till now.

You might also notice that the knockoff Cybertron Optimus Prime is a giant sized Legends toy, but the picture is that of his Leader class toy. So I guess it's fair they used the Legends picture on the Deluxe Bumblebee.

You can buy the knockoff Wing Saber/Sonic Bomber from this auction, the seller has a dozen of them up for sale, but it's $23 with shipping, which is nearly the price of the original!

Deluxe BB looks pretty horrible, but at least he has some firepower now and I love his name. Long live Distortion Hornet!

Wingsaber looks pretty good too.

"ATTACK AND WIPE OUT THE FIGHTER PLANE" is disturbing, but again, earns a lot of points for his name. I do wonder why they bothered with 4 Combaticons when it only appears to need 2.

Good finds people.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

Okay, I know the one you are taking about. It's on Hall and Scheonner. Next to the Dollar General. Last time I went there they wern't open yet, but that was over a month ago. I guess they are open now. I live about 6 miles from it. I'll be there tomorrow.

I swung by our local Tuesday Morning today, but I only saw a handful of the Quick Change sets -- the Dino Robots, the Animal Robot gestalt, and yellow Devastator. For no apparent reason at all, I decided I needed more KO Devvy love and snapped up the latter one. :)

I found a weird one on ebay UK. It's a knockoff of the Cement Mixer version of Go-Bot Strong-Bot, in a package clearly ripped off from Cybertron Skywarp. Moreover he's been recolored as Cybertron Quickmix!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TRANSFORMER-TRANS ... dZViewItem

http://www.tfu.info/2004/Go-Bots/Strong ... ng-bot.htm

Image Image

The co-sells on the back of the box have other Go-Bots repainted as homages to G1 Prowl, Red Alert and Blades from the looks of it.

I'm sure this was discussed earlier but I don't feel like searching through 76 pages :wink:

Are the Robot Masters KOs decent quality? Particularly the Victory Saber 2-pack? Would you say the quality is better or worse than the actual Robot Masters versions(since those aren't so great to begin with.)
