Fair enough I consider it fine for the Leader as he should be a bit smaller since he's just a car-bot and the vehicle mode isn't as glaringly out of scale as he is with the Voyager but yes the Voyager is a good fit too in robot mode at least.

But as Emgo316 say's : "You have options".
-------

There seems to have been some sort of event or show recently that had some interesting KO's being shown of including a prototype of a revised AOE Hound (with chest armour) and an overscale Evasion Optimus Prime with a pretty premium looking deco on it that may come with a duplicate of the UFO Axe and Shield as bonus accessories.

( he might be slightly altered in a few spots from the look of him too).

Images are in the TFW2005 KO thread.

If you mean the over-scale ones

Yep I'm having discussions with regard to buying them they are out in the middle of October : There is (normal) Rook, Hotspot, (blue swat) Rook, Alpha Bravo & Blades - so far.

They should be around very soon as there is packaging pics floating about for them.

------

With regard to other stuff it's the Machine Boy Onslaught that is the one I really want.

I hear there might be a original colour giftset made once they are all out so I'd likely buy that too - and keep the candy coloured ones as singles.

I'm rather tempted by the new MPP-10 in the purple eva colours too.

Sort of like the result from Donkey & Dragon's unholy union :

That Motormaster interests me since costa-era IDW Menasor had a pretty interesting design where Motormaster's cab formed Menasor's feet and his arms formed Menasor's forearms.



imo it was one of the more interesting ways to date of getting around the issue of Combiner kibble.

I'm also curious about the other figures there. Who's the yellow hood-chest guy, the red and blue figure and the purplish rook?

The red and blue guy definitely has Generations Warpath's arms. The yellow guy I can't figure out. Looks like some kind of Alternators retool or something, but not quite. Strange.

Those are oversized KOs of the Warbotron Combaticons.

3P stuff. For the context of this conversation, ignore it all.

I won't mention the official toys... but as for the others.

On the top left it's a slightly oversized KO AOE Bumblebee (with metal parts) (been out for months easy to get and not expensive)

Behind Legends Hardhead is a Wei Jiang KO (Voyager Size) KO of RID Optimus Prime's warrior class toy (I own this it's really pretty good) also pretty cheap about £11.00 (under $15.00)

The yellowish toy on the far left is a Chinese overscale redeco of HFTD Breacher that came out late last year (they also make the Biplane was well) - quite hard to get not brilliant quality though - kinda fun

Next along is another Wei Jiang Overscale RID (voyager size) warrior class KO of Strongarm (you can tell it's the KO due to minor colour difference like the unpainted flames on the gun). I own the plastic version of this - there is also a metal one - also a very good toy.

Next up is the KO of a KO - it's the yellow coloured Machine Boy Knock off of Wu Kong's Knock off of Warbotron's version of Swindle. (the car chest Transformation is optional) same again for the Blue one next to that - that is Machine Boys version of Vortex (only it's blue) they are not oversize they are identical to the Wu Kong ones.

Very good - but some might like to hold off until they make the torso they cost about £15.00 each.

There are Oversizes ones now as well but they are the normal colours and may be a better buy overall. but I rather like the MB ones they have a nice vibe to them. ( I play with them all the time in fact they are right behind me as I type this)

The two rooks (one of which is blue), alpha bravo and blades at the bottom are overscale (usually Metal) KO & Overscale Wei Jiang (again) Combiner Wars bootlegs (exceptional quality - also available in all plastic versions by another factory) there is Hotspot as well and First Aid and Streetwise are out soon.

The set costs about £90 (they are really heavy) and Hotspot is Leadersize so they cost a fair bit to post - I'd say get them but buy them at the same time as something else to keep the postage down. or perhaps wait to see if they offer them again without Blue Rook and Alpha Bravo.

They are more or less identical to the original only bigger the only difference being Alpha Bravo has Blade's face. The Quality is terrific but they are a bit more pricey than the RID ones.

Check out Ben's collectables for reviews of some of them and our new best friend Chefatron has a review up of the Wei Jiang RID Optimus.

As I've said in the past though the one to get there is the OS-KO Grimlock.

I hope that helps.

Huh, Brainstorm too? Interesting. Any way we could get a bigger image?

New KO Megatron : (with Metal parts)



New images Of the Wei Jiang Overscale Titan Returns Hardhead and Skullsmasher.

Interestingly both have fist / for arm covers added and Skullsmasher
& Hardhead both have a new hinge and swivel hips and also Skullsmasher a hinge to allow the croc rear legs to fold into the robot legs - to hide them and to give him some heels.

You can see how big they are side by side with the original toys.
