So I was cruising around Ebay the other night and I saw some cool KO's. They were 2/3 sized, clear "ghost" conehead seekers. I did some research online, and all the review I saw for them were great. The person that reviewed them said the plastic was high quality and they looked and transformed exactly as their Hasbro counterparts. I only found one review though.

They also had a black Starscream and regular colors of Thundercracker and the other Seekers. From the reviews I saw, there are also clear colors of the origional seekers as well.

I ordered all three clear coneheads. They did not have clear versions of the origional three. Once they get back in stock, I will be picking those up too.

Anyone have these? I am interested to hear what you think of them.

There've been a LOT of movie KOs released at a local auction portal where I live, and some sellers doesn't give the info that they are not real ("Q: Which manufacturer made this? A: There's no manufacturer on the box; Q: Is it made in China or is it American? A: Every TFs are made in China" and such...)- they are actually some of the closest things to real since a long time, and they are simply called "The Revenge of Allen"

No, this is a recent KO that appeared about 2 years ago in stores which sold KOs at the time (e.g. yahobby.com) and on ioffer.com, the place of a "thousand" KOs. This isn't pre-Transformers, it's just a very cheap recent KO, available in blue and pink purple. The ones that are actually vintage and Pre-Transformers share the same mold as Shockwave and are gray and good quality.

You can still find it in KO sites, e.g.:

http://chimungmung.com/product_info.php?products_id=75

http://kotoys.com/kotoys.php?id=141&cat=Generation+1&name=Shockwave+Dark+Purple

http://kotoys.com/kotoys.php?id=141&cat=Generation+1&name=Shockwave+Dark+Purple

You gotta be kidding if you thought this was a vintage pre-Transformers Shockwave... :P

Hello! I'm new in the Forum (altough i'm a visitor for more than a year) and I was wondering if someone is capable of identify these two KO i've bought in the late 80's or early 90's in Portugal. The card boxes are long gone :-(

Dunno how sensible it is, but it DOES look like the only KO Menasor that has all four cars that I've ever seen... the rest have two replaced with Technobots.

I got that in different packaging around the time Classics were emerging. I had a kitbash plan for it which died when I realised what a waste of money it really was. I gave it to a nephew who promptly broke it and blamed me.

So I got my King Toys KO, 2/3 sized, Ghost, Conehead Seekers this weekend.

These things are GREAT!!! I like the colors on them better than the origional G1's. The translucent color coupled with the smaller size almost makes them glow.

The plastic quality is right up there with Hasbro. They seem very durable.

Transformation is exaclty the same as the origional toys.

They come with their arm cannons and landing gear. Thrust has two the option of guns or missles that fit into his cannons. Dirge and Ramjet have molded arm cannons. They also have sticker sheets included. The stickers look good, but the adhesive sucks, so I did not apply them. I think the toys look better without them anyway. They would just cover up the color.

I love these guys. They have become three of my favorite figures. I think I paid .99 for each + $14 shipping.
