The Kazi brick company is one of those "not-lego" companies out of China who makes sets that are near Lego immitations. 99% of their bricks are direct immitations of Lego bricks, and they fit with Lego. Well it seems they were not happy with pissing off ONE big toy company. Last year they released a line of vehicles that turned into robots. They had 4, a helicopter, a jet, a tank and a bulldozer. Well... now their 2nd wave looks a little more like specific Transformers characters, don't you think?

This one seems to definitely be based on movie Optimus Prime! He's "Hundred Changes Jin Gang"!

Kazi Brick is a Chinese company that has been directly copying Lego bricks for quite some time now, 99% of their bricks are direct copies of Lego bricks. And since they are direct copies they also fit with real Legos.
Well last year the company released a line of brick robots that turned into vehicles, now they have announced another bunch of sets following the same concept, just this time they look very familiar.

We mirror just a few images each, to view all of them just click the links located in the names.

Hundred Changes Jin Gang, aka Not-Lego Not-Movie Optimus Prime

Super Thunder, aka Not-Lego Not-Movie Incinerator

Black Cyclone, aka Not-Lego Not-movie Jetfire

Super Road Block, aka not-Payload, sadly no link or any more images.

And their most original set, Destroy Foreman who seems to be an original design.

Thanks to seibertron.com member Scaleface for finding these!

Man, those look pretty good!

Who cares is they are rip-offs of TFs and Lego, good job!

Seconded. How could Hasbro screw up "Built to Rule", but a KO company can come up with these?

C'mon, somebody at Lego licensing must see this stuff and realise the potential, surely?

Here is an auction with more pictures of Payload, but the seller seems to have him mistransformed in both modes.

Some other companies version of Bumblebee:

Also, not a Transformers, but a robot, VERY Bludgeon shell inspired! Made by another company called Enlighten.

I was thinking it was a vague attempt at movie Ratchet. It has the shoulders, and it's a green truck.

ok those are pretty cool

Not-Optimus was an easy buy-on-site for me, just looks too good especially for 26 usd. I would have gotten the jetfire too but i don't like the huge "Y" above his head in robot mode...

They do look rather good, don't they.

That not-Optimus not-Prime looks pretty cool.

**** yeah baby this is what that **** ass built to rule line shouldhave been from the beginning

I wonder if this is the same company that made the Bionicle Rahaga knock-off sets I found. But these look really cool. Lego should really work up a licensing deal with Hasbro to make Lego Transformers. It's a very popular topic and well-demanded. Kids and collector's alike would love that.

Super road block looks like if Johnny-5 put on Payload's clothes. :lol:

I was expecting BTR type bots when I clicked, but my eyes do not bleed.
I would buy these so quickly.

I ordered the tank, bulldozer, osprey and semi truck a couple weeks ago and the first one has arrived.

Here are scans of the instructions of "Super Thunder", aka not-Incinerator.

I found some new picture from a seller on taobao of several of the ones we already knew about, in both modes:

Sadly Super Road Block is badly transformed.

I also found some more small ones from the same line of Kazi Transformers. They are actually some of the earliest ones in the line, older than the TF movie ones. These are combiners. Biochemistry Warrior and Ultrasonic Warrior combine into a Super Warrior!

Thunder Warrior and Scorpion Warrior combine to form a Super Warrior!

By the way for anyone who is interested I got my "not-optimus" some time ago (took 2 months for the shipping yikes).

Overall a great buy. Not-Optimus is larger than the ROTF/RTS Voyager Primes by quite a bit, think "Ultra-size". Articulation is limited, the pics in thread can basically tell you what is possible.
Pieces match any Lego's or Lego-wannabes. Building him took maybe an hour+. He doesn't require glue however some here or there might make transformation easier(yes to full, actual transformation). The plastic doesn't quite feel as sturdy/thick as a regular Lego does, after looking him over I figure you could replace 80-90% of him with the real deal to fix that problem.
My real major complaint other than the sellers 2-months shipping time is that the parts themselves have that unfinished gasoline smell to them that will come off on your hands. Since plastic is all of one molecule away from pure oil it seems that there was a step missed/bypassed during manufacturing that could have removed the smell. It's not overwhelming and I have no concern displaying him with my other figures but it is there.
