Coming from China, make that 300000000000%

Considering the seller can't get the model right and just throws names around, avoid this! That KO has been out for a while, so info and reviews are out for the guy.

Jeez...
A little more, and it look like we're better off with KOs than the real deal!

Only problem is if we all switch to KOs, there will be no more official products to KO.

Also, Sideswipe proved that KOs are not better.

MP Road Rage & Tracks are superior to the original toys. Also so are some MP-Blue-Bluestreaks & Wheeljacks (your mileage may vary though).
The differences between the 2 MP Starsabers are pretty inconsequential too.

I've not heard many people complain about the MP Bumblebee KO's the bought either... not to mention some sellers throw in copies of the Amazon bonus' too - it's just a shame that they don't often mention that in the auction descriptions.

I'd like to buy some KO Nissans but i'd prefer to get some with the launchers with them too.

I do think your best bet for getting "Official" ones is to go with proper stores and not eBay though.

Why are you keeping knock=offs sealed of all things^ Open these babies up and have fun! And do tell about their quality. Some KOs are surprisingly good.

not actually a collector. ~dozen I have are not open because I have no interest in collecting them. I mostly bought them many yrs ago bc my (sh!%#$) father never let me have stuff. The one time I got a present for Xmas, I was belittled. Buying them was a big FU to him, but as i typed before I don't collect them & was going to sell them along w/ my other stuff to make room.

Here are the other 8 i have, no clue what they are. Can any1 ID them

Those are all worthless KO Alternators. Cant tell which mold is which, but some may have original paint schemes. Can't tell about the quality though. I once had a KO alternator Wheeljack and it was pretty bad. However, some KOs can be pretty good. The only way to know is it play with them.

Some of them are actually retools of Binaltech molds. From left to right:

Top Image
1.) Based on Swindle/Hound, with the rolling cage retooled
2.) Based on Meister/Laserwave (aka Jazz/Shockblast)
3.) Based on Meister/Laserwave
4.) Based on Smokescreen/Streak

Bottom Image
1.) Based on Smokescreen
2.) Based on Smokescreen (gotta love the Bumblebee colors)
3.) Based on Dead End/Sunstreaker
4.) Based on Smokescreen

If you need car model names for the toys, let me know.

[fleetlord]

Do you think it's needed when I sell them ? If so i would appreciate it.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? WHAT IS THE "IT"?

WHY ARE WE YELLING?

[Jelze Bunnycat]

"It" is the car model name, and I've noticed something odd with the Hound/Swindle ones. The original is a Jeep Wrangler, however the shell has been significantly altered and with it some of the transformation. If I'm not mistaken, it's now a Hummer H2 or similar model (can anyone more savvy help out?). I had to do a double take and make sure it wasn't a Roadbot

The rest kept their makes:

- Smokescreen/Streak: Subaru Impreza
- Dead End/Sunstreaker: Dodge Viper
- Meister: Mazda RX-8

Yup, Hummer H2 seems about right.

Can anyone help with this?


My query is because it's from China. I know there was a ko of the mechtech trailer made, but I can only find it being the trailer only in completely different box, not with the Prime figure itself.
