Works just fine for me.

It works for me now. That's probably the first and last time I use that site though. There was an annoying "join now and get this voucher" pop-up on the screen. Luckily, clicking on it, NOT JOINING and then reloading the original url made the spam go away.

Here's the original link, in English (the original link was in French)

Ok,cool.
I think early 2018 we 'll have a full Devastator.

[Kurona]

Went into the local B&M, and found... him.



I've seen KOs at this store before, but it's bizarre seeing a KO of a product so recent. Especially when right next door leftover Combiner Wars limbs were being sold; and just earlier this year I bought a Mirage from this very store!

He exists!! Is he in scale with the KO limbs? Also, he comes with a big legends class Groove! Awesome!

I've got no clue, as the limbs themselves weren't in the store. From what I could see though, he was about Leader-sized! Packaging was absolutely humoungous.

And unfortunately, Groove seems to not only be able to transform but also not able to move at all; frozen into a single solid Chestplate piece.

He might end up being bigger than Devastator.
And bummer on Groove. I suppose it might have been easier to mold just as one piece, but it's a shame.

I've got that B&M OS KO CW Hot Spot... he's somewhere between Leader & Supreme Class sized figures(the limb bots are Leader Class size) together(combined) he's probably Titan Class size(at least CW Devastator Titan Class size.... I don't have Devastator so I can't do a comparison shot...but he's probably not that far away from Dev's size!


correction! actually he's closer....combined...to TR Trypticon's size.... even with Trypticon standing at full height)

That is insanity and I want one.

[Stuartmaximus]

Believe me...you really don't! it has piss poor articulation

[Jelze Bunnycat]

I almost bought this. Almost

I've seen those. I believe those are direct copies of those M.A.R.S. bots, produced for Walmart.

[Bronzewolf]

So this is online and not an IRL sighting, but I found THE BEST Amazon listing today. It's a gold mine. So many wrong things.



Ah, yes, my favorite Dinobot, Contempt.

[william-james88]

Here are new beast wars KOs appearing all over the montreal area.

[Stuartmaximus]

Only one on there looks like a character from the show & that's Airazor(eagle...even though it's supposed to be a falcon)

but I like the look of that giraffe one

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Remember those Defender Robot KO's of the Legions? Saw them at my local Family Dollar, but in the end, decided against the green motorcycle, due to the lack of paint and size. I did notice some peculiar things:

- their two-toned plastic colors. Going by an older KO I have, that would seem to be indicative of there being two decos per figure, with the plastic colors switched. I saw two of the motorcycle ones, with their plastic colors switched between the two.
- the DotM Leadfoot one has the hands upside down.

[Stuartmaximus]

Those oversized CW Bootlegs(first spotted at B&M) are now available at TJ Hughes

Anybody remember the blue and yellow Classics Mirage KO's with PCC Huffer's Combiner head? Well, they've been at it again:

Movie Optimus Prime head

PCC Huffer Combiner head

Can anyone ID this one?

Found them at the Big Bazar chain, like the previous set. The price? Way to cheap:

GUYS! GUYS! THIS IS SICK!

"Color" me intrigued. Note that the raptor is not not-Slash. Kudos for making her pink tho...

[no-one]

Huh, Skittlesaurus? Interesting

Are they slightly OS? Edit: I missed that in the description

And what's the dealio with not Slash being not not Slash? Isn't that just a backslash? \ different head?

Yet another edit: I'm digging it

[Daryphe]

Aliexpress already got the KO Swoop & Sludge (normal color)

Yeah, I saw those a while ago floating around online. They look really cool. Great idea.
