The Energon Pub

I recently received the set of fake seacons and was surprised to find that they were not only recolored in colors worse than G2 Menasor, but they were extensively remolded. Here is the first of the set, Skalor. I like to call the KO Red Herring.

As you can see in the comparison, Red Herring is about the same size and transformation , but he's completely a new mold - all the proportions, detailing, joints, etc are different. He's like he's based on a 3D scan of the original toy that someone then figured out the for separately . All the pegs for the guns and fist/foot holes are different sizes from the original, so don't expect to use real Seacon accessories on him, or expect his to work on a real Skalor without drilling them out. He has one simplification that severely hampers him, his head is now part of the body, as opposed to being able to hinge down. This makes him unable to go into Scramble City arm mode, and his Targetmaster mode lacks a handle. So he can only become a robot, a fish monster, or a Scramble City leg. Like all the KO Seacons he lacks the 3 piece Targetmaster stand, which makes sense for him since he can't form a gun fully anyways. He does come with his two handguns, which can still combine and form his Targetmaster mode when plugged into his chin, but again, the gun will have no handle.

Note: I started added the new reprolabels white outline style stickers part way though taking pictures, so some pictures have them with which outline Decepticion stickers. Those are not standard.

Thanks for sharing those KO seacons pics.

Just curious,was snaptrap available in this set?

I wonder, are these worth scalping to pay for my Botcon overpriced repaint exclusives? What say you, deathy?

Yes, I have the Snaptrap too. I'll post him eventually. He was the most changed from the original toys.

My eyes burn.

I wouldn't know.

I never sold any of my KO's TF toys on ebay.

A decade ago I purged my TF collection of all KO TF toys by simply throwing them out or giving them to younger relatives.

I also don't buy Botcon exclusives every year.

The only botcon toys I own is 2005 Deathsauras that arrived with no box & I simply chose to re-seal the toy inside a Rid Megatron box=s.

Lastly I own a Botcon Cyclonus that's a repaint using the Beastmachines ultra size jetstorm toy mold. I bought the toy off ebay from a ebay seller who sent me the toy in a extremly chrushed box. I tried to email the seller to get a refund but ebay shut him down & cancelled out his ebay account.

see?! these are the cool WTF-icons that I like from my KO companies. New, generic laser-bait that people can tell all the Mosaics about they like.
