Due to all the Combiner Wars customs I made for my friend lately (see sig below) I ordered a LOT of Reprolabels. Add them to the couple of sets I bought over the years and I got a random promo letter from ToyHax.
Odd.
It countain a sheet of nice clearish

stickers and a 15$US coupon just for me! :DANCE:

All right Toyhax, you magnificent bastards, you won.
So, I ordered the COMBINER WARS DEVASTATOR UPGRADE SET. I passed at the original 32$US price but with the 15$US coupon? GIMME! So with taxes (ToyHax is Canadian) and shipping, it ammount to a very reasonable 28$CAN. Very good!

Applying the stickers on Devy will be a lot of work, but it will be so rewarding.

I'd go for an expensive Repro set that you would have liked to buy but went "nope" on the price. That was my case on the Devastator set.

Hey guys, kinda new to the forums and collecting, but just picked these up recently

I have a haul! Of one!

Is that Bee upscaled? Care for some comparison shots?

Cant tell about the last one, but the Robot Force guys are GoBots sized original transforming toys from the Dollar Store. They sell for 3$CAN each. Look neat, but I passed on them because my room is now too limited to get cheapo stuff. I even skip on many Transformers for the same reason.

Welcome to the boards!

And the RoboForce toys are not original, rather they are knockoffs of G1 Micromasters and Classics Mini-Cons

The tank is based on Bombshock:

Transformers G1 1990 Bombshock Gallery

The missile carrier is based on Red Hot, a fire truck of all things:

Transformers G1 1989 Red Hot (Fire) Gallery

The jet is based on Classics Thunderwing:

Transformers Classics Thunderwing Gallery

And the helicopter is based on Classics Divebomb:

Transformers Classics Divebomb Gallery

And the art is from the original live action movie. :-B

That's why I love KO's. You never know what they'll come with next. :lol:

Leave it to the Master geek to spot the origins of weird KOs! ;)^

Comparison shots are coming today!! I don't THINK he's upscaled, he is based off of Battle Blades Bumblebee. I brought Movie 2007 Premium Bumblebee and MP21G Bumble today for comparisons. Here's vehicle modes. He's so copper!!

News Credits: 15 · Wed May 17, 2017 9:48 am

And here they are, their heads are on the same plane so you can determine height differences. This KO clearly is larger than the Movie 2007 Premium deluxe, but I don't think he's voyager sized.

News Credits: 101 · Wed May 17, 2017 5:05 pm

So that Bee IS a 1:1 KO of Battle Blade Bee. But in shiny copper. The original was so BIG for a deluxe, it sold in a bigger box and a higher price point when it was re-issued for the Movie Advanced line from :TAKARATOMY:

I do remember they had it listed as voyager for the Movie Advanced line! I just never had it so I didn't want to say definitely that it was or wasn't. He is definitely big. Pretty dang nice though, I'm pleased!! I think the only thing I'm worried about is the tabs on the rear of the vehicle. I may need to sand them down so they tab easier. Other than that, I know I complained about looseness in joints, but when you pick him up and shake him nothing moves!! Very solid.
