$200?!?! DAMN! I don't know if I would ever pay that much for a KO. The most I've ever paid for a KO was $65 and that was for a KO Predacons: Predaking from overseas, but that KO Dinobot you have sure does bring back memories when I was a child many moon agos. :sad:

Actually, make that two color schemes. There is one with an opposite scheme to this one, with red where there is blue, and blue where there is red. That variant, however, has gold where there is silver on this one.

Some images:

As far as articulation goes, very little that wasn't needed for the transformwas kept. The primary (surprising) exception is the secondary heads retain two points of articulation, the jaw on the center head remains, and the arms can still rotate on the Y axis. But there are no knees, many of the "detail" bits don't move anymore, and so on.

By the way - it was five dollars. I considered getting one of each, then taking them apart and swapping parts until I had one red and one blue, but decided against it.



ooooh not fair mines tail ax dosnt fit in his hand XD i got mine at ekard's the yhave another set too with galaxy force mini prime mini soundwave(blaster colors) and a misc power ranger beast robot.

I just bought one of those knockoff Superions from Biglots. (Quick Change). Other than having about half the advertised joints its actually pretty solid (I might even get Defensor). I'm gona give it some paint detailing and set it on my shelf so I can pretend like I had $500 for the real deal. :roll:

EDIT:
I just got the 1:1 KO Devastator (in tasty yellow) and it's joints weren't loose! Moreover, because It's already yellow I could turn it into g2 Devy (I'm Still painting it green though :grin: )

Well crap, I'd only heard about that one recently. I wanted it to stand next to Smallest Soundwave. Now I"ll have to decide what to do instead of going to big lots and getting one.

Does anyone here have any idea if there's a knockoff of the Transformers Aerialbots/Superion Gift set? There's one going for a real tempting price on eBay that seems way too good to be true. :(

Yes, there is a Aerialbot/Superion knockoff gift set. The knockoff gift set is very common. Post the link to the eBay auction so I can have a look at it...

Hey, I was curious, because I've been noticing at least one obvious hole in the KO's that aren't made to be counterfiet G1's for ebay. How is it there are no KO seekers (of any sort) on here?

There are KO G1 Seekers out there. I haven't seen them in years they were quite common back in the mid 80's with KO Dinobots. There are KO seekers from Robotmasters and other cartoon series posted on here but were deleted after Seibertron.com server crashed awhile ago...

I have two different G1 Reflector Figures. One is the real deal and the other is a great close KO. Can you tell which one is the real one and which is the KO? I have only been able to find TWO major differences bewteen them. Other than these two differences they practically identical in sturdy construction and color scheme. Do not let the camera lighting throw you off! :wink:

The two diferences are:

1) The KO's viewfinder lens is blurry when you look thru it.

2) The KO's red robot has a clicker button on his head, but when you depress it, it does not make the clicking noise.

***Is there any other ways to tell them apart?

Here's the pics of the two:

Darknes, I'd love to see those pics. If nothing else, modern KO's make wonderful inspirations.

I got some new stuff, :)

Some combiners, swindle, brawl, dragstrip and another stunticon, one of the other 3 or a combination of, here

Awesome multi coloured classics jetfire lol here
There were 3 different colour combinations, I choose the blue head one. 2 others were a red and a yellow head, with various body colours.

I'm not really into mini-cons much, but I had to get these guys, they come on a big cardboard sheet, you just peel off the ones you want to buy here

This one looked so good on card, I didn't want to open, but the cards are so big, they're a pain to transport. here

Finally picked up a double dealer here

Got this jet also, I like the american decepticon symbol, some political undertones to read into which is great ;) here

Oversize titanium funny colored soundwave lol here
