Unofficial Transformers 3rd Party & KO toy haul thread

Come on, someone had to start it!

Robotmel thought..
Well Classics, Prime and other lines have a haul thread, why not 3rd party and KOs too!

So here it is folks, want to gush about that cheeky knock off you picked up online, that 3rd party homage which is now taking pride of place in your display then feel free to post your latest pictures or lists here!
The older KO haul thread (http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/new-transformers-knockoff-thread-t57.php)hadnt been updated in a long while so I thought the inclusion of 3rd party items would be a welcome return to favour! :-?

:grin:

If I may start, this little beauty just arrived today...

Dr. Wu - DW-P07 Metal Storm

Wow! This is one piece of heavy artillery, and I mean heavy!
Poor old KO Optimus needs his shoulders tightening to weild this baby!

"Hold your fire!"

This is my first piece from the good Doctor and I gotta say, its pretty awesome! Its a great sculpt, very faithful to his G1 blaster with thick polished black paint and a hollow barrel going in approx half an inch deep.

I would definitely recommend picking up this for your Classics Prime, you wont regret it!

Popped into Bedford the other day and stuck my head in B&M Homestore to see if I could find anything?

This is the first time, as far as I can remember, that I have seen Roadbots on shelves and in the U.K. but I dont get out that much!? ;)
These appear to be very parts-former but for £5.99 down from £14.99 they are worth a giggle! :P

Nice idea dude, I will put my bits up as they arrive. Hopefully it will be Giant this week (fingers crossed)

I have seen those Roadbots in Maplin before, I think! Amongst all of the overpriced electrical components, they have an eclectic mix of goods.

Popped into Bedford town, stuck my head in Poundland and picked up this cheeky little fella! :lol:
DSCN2154.JPG

He's the Funtastic Robot Truck! He converts from robot to truck! ;)
DSCN2159.JPG

When he's not a truck he's a robot!
DSCN2160.JPG

He loves play and have fun because he's a robot!

Most of all he loves being a robot!

Whilst visiting Northampton town for a browse, I found this fella staring at me from the shelf of Pound Stretcher only £4.99!

Telitoy Super Robot Squad Space Overlord! :D

IMAG0049.jpg
Side Box

I instantly thought 'oversized classics deluxe'.
IMAG0046.jpg
Front Box

IMAG0047.jpg
Corner Box

This super robot comes in a generic package, same boxart but different figure in each one.
There are three to choose from, this onne being the silver sports car, which reminds me perhaps of 'Streak?
IMAG0048.jpg
Rear Box

Theres also a yellow topless sports car, very Bumblebee, too much of an easy tag!
Taking prime position in the middle of these two is a very interesting attempt at a possible Optimus Prime.

;)

After getting this toy out of his package and having a little fiddle :lol: hes a pretty cool figure for an upscaled generic Classics Deluxe!
IMAG0092.jpg
"But I am a robot in disguise!"

I thought there was an ear/antenna missing but its just how he molded! Phew!
He comes with molded closed fists but swivel waist which is nice.
Can anyone work out if this mold resembles any of our Classics?
IMAG0093.jpg
"Grrrrrrr!"

The plastics are a little on the cheap side with swirls in the silver/grey plastic roof plus his arms need tightening slightly? ;)
IMAG0095.jpg
Baby got back!

At least this fella actually transforms! :lol:

"Come on 'Swipe get that T-cog sorted!"

MGT-01, PP05W and PP05M just arrived.

Gotta say, I love em all!

Ironhide and Ratchet look nice with my MP set, but are maybe a head to short.

They all look brilliant with my classics set, but now I need a bigger Optimus! :grin:

Good to hear!
Any chance of some comparison photos against a couple of Alternators or eqivelent Voyager figures? ;)

I think I saw a picture recently with Ironhide alongside MP-12 Lambor which looked rather cool! :KREMZEEK:

Hope this helps

Had to get Sideswipe out of storage for the photo, got VERY limited shelf space. So if he is miss transformed blame the Alternators gallery :grin:

They are really close to being the right MP size, but fit better with Classics Inferno and the other voyager toys (except Prime, he's to small).

They look AWESOME!
With the new down-sizing of Masterpiece figures so they fit some type of scale, these iGear figures will fit well alongside MP-12 Sideswipe. :BOT:
Which Optimus Prime is that in the background, is he MP-01?

Just arrived today;

TW-T01 Grind Rod: really like him, transformation is a bit annoying at times, but should be fine once I've transformed him a few times. The colour looks better in person.

MW-03 Hench: he's bigger than I was expecting! Not-Gears must be massive :D Hench is great, but needs better heels, he's a bit back heavy

MW-04 UFO: great alt mode and the robot mode looks kinda crap and ungainly, which is perfect for Cosmos! Great toy ;)

Nice, niiiiiice!

The more I look at the images of MT-04, the more I want!
Not only does he look pretty awesome in robot mode but using the individual bits as power-up parts is a great idea and looks sweet! :grin:

Received PE-12 Scouting Force AFX yesterday.

I just was not expecting them to be so small. O. M. G. They're slightly smaller than Cyberverse figures... Though, articulated like a Masterpiece. (It's ridiculous how posable these little fellas are.)

Accessories out the ying yang. And every piece has a feature. I will give Perfect Effect credit for doing what they did on such a small scale, but their pricing is a shame.

Super Robot Squad - Space Overlord ATTACK!!! :lol:

Another large Voyager sized transforming robot for a fiver!
The red and blue deco gives him a poor mans Optimus Prime effect, might attach a couple of cheeky Autobot logos for fun? :lol:

Still no sign of the yellow fella?

Popped into Northampton town centre yesterday afternoon for a browse.

Found this cheeky lil fella in the 99p Stores! Looks like a KO Animated Legends Optimus Prime? Hes all black with a painted green chest and silver grill, lights & faceplate for 99p!! ;)

Image
Image

Stuck my head in another cheap store but I forgot the name, think it was Pound Stretcher?
Found another fun looking fella, this time an orange Roadbot Lamborghini Murcielago Deluxe for £7.99. ;)

Fun for all the family! :grin:

Gah, I hope mine is there when I get home, it looks really nice. The only unofficial toy I got recently is Assaulter, which shames the feckless cretins at iGear with its superb design, qualitative feel and general awesomeness.

Feckin' love this figure.
