Wandering into Poundland, I found a knockoff of Landcross from Victory. And whats more, is that for a knockoff he DIDN'T suck. Take a look at the link below for lots more pics and a full review:

I am a firm believer that most great TFs are impressive in the context of their original size, and that blowing them up without any changes just makes them worse, for having flaws that just aren't acceptable on a larger scale.

Even if this wasn't a knockoff, I couldn't recommend this one to anybody.

A real shame though that they didn't re-release Landcross during Energon. Fits the line perfectly. Maybe they could do a universe repaint where they're each repainted as an Energon Autobot.

Very true, but I also judge Transformers on price. The cheaper something is, the more I can forgive it its faults.

I did see a very good kitbash of some Landcross guys into Energon Autobots, it did look cool.

putting the piracy issue aside...
no offense,but i think this dude is cool.if the quality is excellent enough

they should make a gigantic version of unicron.double the size of fort max,maybe? :>

Unlikely. Then you're running into the square-cube law.

When you double the linear dimentions of something, or scale it up twice as tall, then you give it four times the surface area, and eight times the mass.

So all his joints will need to hold up an immense weight of plastic. That would mean ratchets (Or friction joints! Holy cats!) dialed up so stiff that most kids- Scratch that, most ADULTS would have trouble torquing them around.

That, or the knockoff teams would have to reengineer the joints to be manually locked; Press a button to let the knee move, release button to let it lock up again. Or use worm gears to move the joints! Hope you like twiddling a little dial on every joint, Timmy.

I wouldn't think every joint. Mostly the knees and Hips. As the Arms wouldnt have as much weight to support in comparison.

sweet I'd buy it from traders world (flea market) for 15 bucks(maybe $20 but that would be pushing it)

Perhaps they'd only need to be necessary there. I'm saying do you *honestly* think they'd want to put in that effort when they could more easily churn out thirty pastel recolours of an oversized Legends Bumblebee?

Well paert of it just depends on the ones doing it; there are some really good KOs out there where it does seem like they'd put in the kind of effort. But even son, I strongly goubt they'd ever do a toy that size.

you never know how determined the manufacturers can be.If i may recall,Taiwan ROC made it all possible those days; fantastic KOs 15 years back are of 99% resemblance & quality compared to the originals.pale in comparison with the present KOs from china
