I found something incredible yesterday at the local Magiprix.
This incredible voyager sized "transformers"! It was about just 10$ with the taxes.

A light-up sword is also include. A very BRIGHT one. Take THAT, RID Powerisers!

The robot mode have Armada-like articulations. Meaning, extremely limited. The bot still look awesome.

The first sword split in two. Nice little touch.

Unfortunately, the waist part dont peg together at all.

So, what does that kinda cool robot turn into?
It transform into a altmode that I was looking for a very long time. No official Transformers nor even Gobots did it.

...The FARM TRACTOR!

Just look at this beauty. Everything peg together very tightly and solidly.

It even have hard rubberry tires!

The transformation is very unique and fun too.

This is I dollar store TF that I'll keep forever and ever.

I'm very glad to have found this oddball. It was their last one too!

Here's the back of the box with random "stats sheet" with his very boring "brother". Also, that's all you get for instructions.

If I could find another one, I could create my Snow-Plow OC easely!

Have you found a very unique dollar store "transformers"?
If yes, share it here!
Remember that a KO of an existing Transformers dont count at all.

Oh yes indeed.
I was blown away and I knew it has to be MINE.

It was one of my wish for a very long time, said somewhere in here.

The blade on that light up sword looks like it could work for Beast Wars Dinobot.

That's actually a pretty cool looking bot.

Never new how much I wanted a transformer with a tractor alt mode until I saw those pictures

Yeah, I know the feel.

Unfortunately, it's the kind of toy that is worth nothing, yet are near to impossible to find.

That's quite the paradox, really.

Very true.

Then add "near to impossible to find" to that unusual alt mode and to a few of us it is worth quite a bit!

Amazing how these crappy tf wannabes are sometimes so damn great.

That tractor robot can combine with 5 other robots to form a huge robot. However, do not buy the individual robot limbs of this combiner because the pieces needed for the combiner mode are not included. You need to buy the blister pack set where you get to see the entire combined robot form.

So, that's why the extra bits under the feets.

Still, I think I will never ever see that set you are talking about. I'm also weary of the quality and the overal solidity of the combined bot.

Since its just seeing...

made a mistake when it first came out here in Manila. Bought all the parts then "WTF" moment when I discovered that the combiner parts were not included.

It please me to see that the main body is made with the tractor!

Oh well, I dont mind not having the rest of the set because my Farm Tractor will have a custom snow-plow accessory.
If I have the diligence to go and make it.

Is it possible to get that box set still?

I found one really odd UFO guys. I randomly went to my local thrift store in search of some TFs and I found this guy. Yeah, he's not an official TF, of course, but he's not from a dollar store either. It's quite a solid build.

Anyway, here it is, in his glorious Scion mode:

The thing is a little bigger than a standard deluxe but is smaller than a voyager. The vehicle have a decent ammount of paint aps.

It also roll pretty well.

Not much robo kibble underneath.

So, how the robot mode hold up?

Well...

Oh boy... As expected, it's completely derpy.

He got E.T. legs, meaning it's just two little stups.

He have a lamp post for a torso.

Posability is very limited. From the chest up, it's normal looking, but starting under the chest, it's pathetic and horrible. The whole robot is a disaster. Still, he's so ridiculous looking that... I actually like it!

He also got some completely ridiculous features.

A head with a douchy smile, shades, and headphones!

He actually wear SNEAKERS!

But the next two bits cracked me up and I litterally rolled on the floor, laughing!

A bitchin' sound system!

Complete with a DJ Turntable! How hillarious is that?

This thing is not a fake. It's fully licenced by Scion and is made by Mattel, circa 2006.

I'm glad to have found him. best 5$ spent in a while.

I shall call him, DJ Stumpy.

He could be some kinda semi-sentient DJ bot Optimus had built to entertain the troops!

I found on Ebay that the Derpy DJ is from the line of
Hot Wheels Modifighters Live Wire The Battling DJ Scion xB .

They come with a water pistol and have a color changing gimmick when soaked. I dont like rusty screws so I will not test it.

I just saw two on Ebay, both reds.
As expected, I have something that is really rare, but is worthless because no one want.

Eh.
