aftermath of trying to transform KO binaltech wheeljack.
thing nearly desintegrated in my hands while trying to transform.
I couldnt even save it, when i tried to lock it in bot mode, the fork broke making him an impossibility.

im kinda glad Hasbro is trying to stop these KO companies and sellers. So dumbass's like me wont waste thier money on somthing that has no quality and has less actual plastic compound then a plastic bag.

what a waste of money.

KO's will really make you appreciate the quality of the real Hasbro/Takara stuff. The few KO's that I have bought have ended up right in trash. I had bought them for kitbashing and they were of such low quality I could even use them for parts.

Buddy that sucks

Sorry it didn't work out for you. Try and see if you can get a refund. Then put the money you get back from them towards a real Wheeljack. I've been transforming mine for years and he doesn't have a single loose joint.

yeah i was planning on buying the binals since they are nearly indestructable, but i couldnt help but to grab a chance for a KO, figured it might be better then some ive had before..

yeah not so much.

looks like Authentic is whats for me now!

yeah, ive had a similar experience..wanted to try out a KO as a replacement, doesn't work. In the end, a KO is a KO, so all my money goes to legit figs now

Perfect example of how all the supporters of KOs are fooling themselves.

Glad you have seen the light, KOs are NOT transformers.

Yeah, there's always going to be an obvious difference in build quality between "Robotxorz Trsnsmorf Hero" and Transformers.

KO's are just cheap. That's all there is to it. The only KO I've ever liked is my KO Devastator. He's kinda fiddily, and sure a couple of the bots have the same head, maybe a backwards fist or two, but he bears more than a passing resemblance to Devastator in gestalt mode xD

Sorry you had such hard luck with that WheelJack knockoff...but even the real one is a chore to do properly, if it's any consolation.

I would never buy a KO thinking it was a Transformer.
Sometimes I see a transforming robot and say "Hey that thing looks nice." and I get it. Sure, it turns out to be a disaster 9/10 x,
but I'll never be sure if i never try it. Sorry I don't limit myself to just one brand of transforming robot.

RodimalToyota, Sorry about your loss. I almost bought that one
but never got around to it. Oh well, I used to have Alt Wheeljack
anyway. Get the real one, it's worth it.

KOs can never be Transformers. But I buy KOs knowing that these are low quality toys. They are useful for me to practice repainting and kitbashing.
Get a refund for that piece of junk. Hasbro and Takara should increase their efforts in putting down these fly by night operators. Seeing that there are already many fakes polluting the market, I hope its not too late.

That KO got KO'd!

So what's wrong with him?


I'm kidding, and unfortunately KO's can do that to ya'. They are a finicky bunch, made of only the choicest of low grade plastics, and other materials. Still some KO's are worth owning, but they are few and far between. Sorry for your transforming robot loss.

lmao some of my real altenators end up with that many parts hanging off when i actually manage to transform them lol

This should have been called "why you don't take Ko's seriously". That Wheeljack is absolutely god-awful. But I cant help but to think that if you needed some fodder parts, that would be a good place to start. Sorry for your loss on that one, but I'm sure you can still put it to some use.

WST KOs are worth a lookat. Maybe it's just because they are so small, but they're a tough bunch.

Though this kind of quality is common in kos it is not universal. Sometimes you get one that is almost perfect. Some Devastator KOs fall to pieces in your hands, some have fallen off shelves and stayed in one piece. Some don't stay together with glue, some fit together better than the real thing.

You get what you get. That's the risk you take when you buy KOs.

I used to be for KO's, kinda still am for hard to find figures, but I usually just pass on KO's. Still though, that first pic is giving me a zombie vibe:

DOL, that's funny!

KO's are what they are. You get what you pay for.

I have many KO's. They are mostly place fillers. I mean, I doubt that I would get a working Dai Atlas for $35. However, my "Batman" DA worx fine.

I also like the weird coloured ones. I mean, check this out, from eBay auction http://cgi.ebay.com/Transformers-MIXER-LORRY-ROBOT-METAMORPHS-1990-SL-313_W0QQitemZ150216115405QQihZ005QQcategoryZ753QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting.

No one would really think that this is http://www.cobraislandtoys.com/tf/1988/quickmix.html(Quickmix). However, I wanted this KO, to go with my KO Landfill.

As long as you know you're buying a KO, then more power to ya. It's the f#ckers who try to pass KO's as the real deal that p!ss me off.

You get what you pay for.

the lesson: don't buy a KO of a fragile/complicated mold.

Ironhide: "We couldn't save him, Prime."

Prime: "Aww.. Wheeljack."

Yeesh. Really glad I did't buy the KO Alt Prowl I saw. This, and I found a real one for about the same price!

I hate KO's, they SUCK. Those things are so horrible, the quality is like sh!t!!! I can't believe that some people support them!!!
