i really love this toy, eventhough it's a bootleg

anyways, while playing around with the robot mode, i noticed how the wings could be spread at the back. doubledealer wing zero? nahhh...

i tried taking out the falcon head, and with some experiemntation, i finally got this 4th alt mode - a monster!

the "bird legs" were lowered to enable both wings and robot arms to spread. also, the lowered "bird legs" added to the whole scary monster effect....

here's full battle mode. IMO, this monster mode would look better with a club or an axe or sword as a main weapon, but this still works...

also take note that in this mode, neither powermaster engines were attached. perhaps this is doubledealer's true form? :-?

hey, thanks!

yep. my only issues with it are the casting lines and imperfections.

otherwise, it's a pretty cool KO.

i did a review on the KO thread.

awesome.... did you put those autobot symbols on him or it came with him?

by **mechajol** » Fri Sep 21, 2007 12:42 am

the autobot symbols were applied on the decepticon falcon mode. i just removed it and placed it on the shoulders.

astig...did the stickers come separate in a sticker sheet or was it already on the figure and you just removed it and attached it again? pretty cool KO, quiapo?

by **mechajol** » Fri Sep 21, 2007 1:12 am

astig indeed! the stickers are already applied, badly, if i may add

the good news is that the stickers are made from foil, so you can easily remove it and reapply

got this from glorietta, btw

Chimung is selling them too for $12. I have one, great quality KO, comes with both mini powermaster figures.

Ah, good to see some love for Doubledealer. I always loved him and was psyched to see him the IDWs new series.

ahhh, Glorietta. what toy shop? i always thought (as a probinsyano LOL) that the mall only sold expensive stuff. i might drop by there if i ever get a chance to go back to Manila.

one of the small kiosks in the middle of the mall. it's the only one selling cheap toys so you can't really miss it.

Great find. Looks solid for a KO

by **mechajol** » Fri Sep 21, 2007 11:23 pm

thanks! yep! pretty solid for a KO!

the quality of the plastic is not as good as the original, though. but it's good enough for playing!

That is very cool, and creative. I like that as a Doubledealer, attack mode, but that is actually a cooler form for his Decepticon self to take.

Kudos!
