Do you know if they are copies of a certain mold? If yes, which one?

Those aren’t Transformers and I don’t recognize the red one, but the yellow one is this guy from Machine robo.

So can this guy be both a girraffe and a robot?

They're all Triplechangers. That one turns from a giraffe to a robot to a construction crane.

I never had a chance to buy Binaltech Hound off the shelf but I found a decent KO. With a hefty amount of metal too. Found three of them in a department store.
Here are some pics:

Poundland UK have a new KO Line in "Air Craft Transformable" looks like there are 3 in the line and I picked up the 2 that had on the shelves. For 31.00 each I'm

Sorry no pick available folks - camera/PC issues.

Destroyer - Nasa Shuttle alt mode and i guess it's a Voltron KO given the "lion head" helmet, feet & hands. - Not In Stock.

Intruder - Darkwing KO - Bought
Hercules - Dreadwind KO - Bought

No powermaster gubbins but Darkwing came with a crappy little figure with no arms and no apparent use. Darkwing's legs don't fold and they don't seem to be able to combine (very close but I think the clips are slightly off so just won't quite connect.), Darkwing also needs a hand swap. Plastic is the tacky feeling semi-flexible kind but that works OK for them as they need a little abuse to transform.

Well worth the price - it's not gonna satisfy Dreadwings fans but I'm happy as they're nice cheap bolsters for my Con Army.

Has anyone got the KO Sixwing from Big Lots? I just got him today, and he came with an extra figure. He turns into a water plane and is about twice the size of the Micromasters. Does anyone know what this figure is?

Thanks! I love Gobots, but I'm not too keen on them. Awesome lol

I believe that the shuttle with a voltron head is actually a knockoff of the Japanese Autobot called "Galaxy Shuttle"

Does he look something like this?

Just to let everyone know, the easter basket KOs are
starting to show up. I didn't have my camera but
K-Mart had 2 different baskets. One had a G1 Dreadwing KO with
some other large robot for $19.99. The other one had 2 transforming dinos. A very large triceratops and a smaller velociraptor,
that was $15.99. I may go back and take some photos.

Lol...I've seen that one a couple times. Funnily enough, when I clicked on your link, it brought up a link to another auction for the Leader Prime knock-off I mentioned back on page 90.

Prime KO

[Scaleface]

I recently picked up "Super Powers Series" Optimus Prime from ebay for about $7. He's an interesting red-headed 7 inch tall Chinese clone of Optimus Prime - but which one?



At first glance I noticed his body seemed to be an enlarged version of Cybertron Legends Optimus Prime. Cool, I collect giant Legends figures, but there was more.



There is the big gun... Not just any knockoff gun, this seems to be taken from Leader Class Cybertron Optimus Prime. I thought this was cool, add some leader class parts to a knockoff, but then I noticed something odd about the legs...



His legs are not Cybertron toys at all, nor generic robo-legs, but they are from Robot masters Optimus Prime! (note, they are not from Masterpiece Prime, as I previously stated, thanks)

So there you have it, three Optimi Prime in one.

Were the Dinos in a G1 or Beast Wars Style?

Not quite, they're actually robotmasters legs.

Hah! My local Sheetz (a central PA based, but multi-state convenience store chain) has That Prime, Megatron, Jetfire, Evac, Hot Shot and Starscream and they're all $8.00 a piece. lol

Has anybody noticed that Ryan's mistransformed Cyb Leader Prime in that pic?

I hadn't until you mentioned it. However, those chest/windows are easily forgotten in the steps.

The legs are from Robotmasters Prime.

This is true, but in my opinion, it REALLY makes a difference to the overall alt mode's look having the windows in the right place.

Actually the legs as was said, are not form MP prime but rather Robot Master's Prime. I've actually seen a few different knockoff Primes with those legs even though the torsos are lie from Armada Prime or some other totally different prime..

Yes, I already noted this in the post, but thanks.
