I know there's a new springer out but for $35.00 I just couldn't pass.

Managed to pick up a WB003 for $90

Thanks to a trade via fellow Seibertron JelZe GoldRabbit, I am now the proud owner of 2x Transformable Cars!



These two cheeky KOs are based on the Classics Mirage/Dragstrip mold have been upscaled to what could be considered a small Voyager with some simplification and remolding of parts but still offering great possability.




Obviously being the same mold with alternate colouring across parts, some cheeky part-swapping may be in order for effect?


KO Oversized Classics Dragstrip


KO Oversized Classics Mirage

Thanks again JelZe!

Have you dared transform these yet mel wouldn't mind seeing a comparison with the mirage mold.

A little bit larger than the Deluxe Classics Dragstrip... a little bit unsure how the 'weapon' gets attached to the alt mode?

Spotted these over on SirToys.com (Hello Paul!) and just had to mention it. I can believe some of the Foll of Cybertron molds are now being knocked off as it only feels like yesterday that they hit the shelves?

Well, here he is, the Queen of Spain

He's not quite as good as the firetruck. Some of the components don't lock into place and there is no head or knee articulation, but he is solid and the plastic feels decent. Overall he is a great figure.

Just got to decide which self he will go on

is that the Voyager sized Queen Of Spain? I was already tempted to get one of these guys, but xyl360's idea of making him into a BW Rampage makes me want to get two. Also looking at the fire truck and the orange helicopter.

Yeah, it's the voyager one. Once xyl360 shows us his custom I might be getting a second one as well

yeah, thinking the fire truck might make a good Pyro (since the Botcon one is well out of my price range, and doesn't even come up all that often anyway) and the scorpion/tank is close enough for Rampage, or even Shokaract. Might make a nice Sparkcrusher/Gutcruncher too. The orange helicopter I'll probably just call Evac and be done with it.

The fire truck looks great with my Wreckers (Had to pack up most of my Beast Era figures for that self space, but as I'm not collecting them anymore it had to happen )

The options for that scorpion/tank keep increasing! As for the copter, I was thinking about trying him out as Spinister from Mayhem Attack Squad (might require a repaint) with a couple of Master Shooter Targetmasters. Using PCC Windburn atm, but would like Spinister to be bigger if I'm honest.

Spotted this guy over on SirToys.com (thanks Paul) and decided to give him a go, but imagine my surprise when he arrived? He's huge!!

Super Transpeed Robot!



I wasnt expecting this guy to be so big, must be maybe 1:18 scale or so? Reminds me of those big RoadBots?
Alt mode is a cool blue sports car, looking similar to the Alternity Megatron, maybe a Nissan of sorts?





Robot mode stands around 24cm high so I might sit him up un my Leader scale shelf.
Shoulders could do with a little more strength but pretty good all round articulation wise.
He comes with several weapons which can be pegged into the 5mm holes on his shoulders or hands.



He has a great head sculpt which reminds me of Alternators Rodimus maybe?
His feet seem very familiar too, looking like they have been borrowed from Movie Bumblebee!



A great addition to my oversized figures!

[Transformers Hoarder]

Can't tell his size without something in the picture to compare him too. Can you post a picture side by side with a common Transformer?

A couple of dodgy pics for scale comparison.
First up alongside Voyager GDO Hot Spot and Deluxe Smokescreen (with Primus lurking) and with KO Oversized Prime Deadend!

[Transformers Hoarder]

Wow, now that's big... How's the plastic? Thanks.

[robotmel]

Wow, now that's big... How's the plastic? Thanks.

Not too heavy but not overly thin, so fairly good considering his size.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

OK, neither thread has had anything new for the past month, time for me to remedy that.

Yep, got another one, but this time it's not necessarily a KO but more like an off-brand. Maybe a KO of an off-brand? Anyhow, a trip to the Rotterdam Zoo of Blijdorp netted me these:



Ocean Protector Transformable

Yes, I truly did get them at a zoo gift shop. Normally I'm meh towards KO's, but they stood out to me like that Classics Mirage/PCC Crankcase mix did (just not for the same reason):



One's a shark...



... and the other's a dolphin! Where do you see dolphins in Transformers? I had to get both, since they are paired more often not.

There are two more in this line, a crocodile and a killer whale:



I love orcas, but why have a crocodile in an ocean-themed line? I know they're aquatic, but still...

Now to come up with names and profiles for the guy and girl.

[xyl360]

What, haven't you ever heard of the Saltwater Crocodile?

These remind me of Beast Wars Neo somewhat. I must have them. I will find them. I will buy them !

We plan on visiting Amsterdam Zoo Artis in the near future, maybe they'll have some there too. I need my killer whale!
