Yap, good quality, aside from the less face detail, it's a good one. Auto morph also available. Came in yellow (like ori), red (cliffjumper), black(barricade cameo) and white-purple (another barricade cameo)

Ok, so this may have been posted but...

Listed as Oversized Protoform OP I couldn't help but think this is a perfect Transtech Optimus Prime.

It's actually an oversized Protoform STARSCREAM with OPTIMUS PRIME's head, and Animated Optimus Prime's colors!

...except for the chest which either is Optimus' or has been retooled.

I think it's a remolded chest. The vehicle mode is clearly Starscream, not Optimus.

This one is a real gem. Modeled here by Classic Cliffjumper. Toy is a near perfect replica of Armada Requiem Blaster at 150%. The Mini-Con holes are removed, but the handle and link point on Skyblast are still present and normal sized. Weapon has a firing missile.

The perfect gun for those that didn't get the Fansproject one.

Finally..after a LONG time searching, I snagged this very cool KO version varient of G1 Grimlock. I call him "GRIMZILLA!" He is awesome looking and I took comparison pics of him with my original G1 Grimlock and G1 Prehistoric Grimlock.

News Credits: 1 · Wed Jul 29, 2009 6:31 am

Here's my first Review: Transformable: Super Power Series

This Knock Off Line is one of the most impressive Chinese Bootlegs ever made (in my opinion).

The "Wave-1" of this line has Knock off versions of Robot Masters Optimus Prime, G1 Hot Rod, Soundblaster, Perceptor and Powermaster Optimus Prime

Wave-1 Blister

We saw bootlegs with ripped off TF Artwork, but the Bootleggers ripped the Japanese manual (They even put the Japanese Transformers logo)!

Wave-1 Figures

HOT ROD/HOT RODIMUS: Well, the bootleggers did a REALLY good job in this toy, they respected the colors of Hot Rod, but the flames of his chest are painted and not a sticker, he has metallic stickers and the metal parts, but the cockpit glass is not transparent, Hot Rod comes packaged with his Targetmaster Firebolt.

Hot Rod in Vehicle Mode

Hot Rod in Robot Mode

Targetmaster Firebolt

SOUNDBLASTER: The second figure in this wave, he comes packaged with Buzzsaw, and like Hot Rod, he has metallic stickers (I added him a Decepticon symbol from other KO), he has his missile launcher, a gun and three missiles.

Soundblaster, Buzzsaw and Ravage in Walkman & Cassette Modes

Soundblaster, Buzzsaw and Ravage in Robot Mode

PERCEPTOR: Third figure in the line Very impressive, and detailed for be a Knock Off, it has the same stuff like Soundblaster and Hot Rod, Perceptor comes packaged with Ravage.

Perceptor in Microscope Mode

Perceptor in Robot Mode

ROBOT MASTERS CONVOY: Fourth figure, ignoring the simple colorscheme, this figure includes everything except the front for the trailer (And it's oversized than the original).

RM Convoy in Robot Mode (Size comparison with Energon Optimus Prime)

RM Convoy in Vehicle Mode (Again with E-Prime)

POWERMASTER OPTIMUS PRIME: Well, they resumed his Transformation because he doesn't transform in a Truck, his Transformation is the TRAILER!!, it cames packaged with a Galaxy Convoy cannon, and the cannon has lights! (Like the laser pointers)

It looks like the line was successful because they made a Wave-2

Wave-2 Blister (It's bigger than Supreme Starscream box)

The Wave-2 has Knock Off versions of the Legends of Cybertron figures

In Mexico the only figure who arrived was the Legends of Cybertron Optimus Prime (The chinese give him the Super Mode Weapons and Wings!, the legs of this figure are from the RM Convoy)

The wings are not of plastic, they're from cardboard, so take care of them.

The LOC OP in Vehicle Mode

Figures of Wave-2
- LOC Optimus Prime
- LOC Starscream
- LOC Hot-Shot
- LOC Scourge
- LOC Megatron
- LOC Evac
- LOC Jetfire

Quality of figures: The figures of both waves have a good quality, are perfect for repair G1 toys, or for complete your collection.

Those Seeker KO's brings back such memories as a child. I used to see those all the time in K-Mart in the mid 80's...

I'm an old fart, I've basically have seen most of the old G1 KO's as a youth. I remember seeing those at the local K-Mart, I also remember buying the White Four Star Constructicons. Sorry, I don't have the white tail fin for the seeker jet.
