Having recently opened my Dinoking and thus having gotten to experience the full niftiness of the combiner, I am kinda tempted. If I had any room to spare, or less worry about the plastic (although the thread linked to below has a review that speaks well of the plastic quality)...

(also wow, just noticing the apparent retooling on Swoop's shoulders; does any release of it have those three spiky things?)

Edit: More pictures -- including an altmode-packaging giftset, and another non-upsized (?) release in totally different colors, with more metallic shades -- in this TFW thread, where Galvamaximus found these in their area like a year ago, lol. This also confirms the individually-packaged releases don't have the feet, which pretty much kills any odds of me getting them, whoops. But man, I love the surprisingly AOTP-ish box art!

I...kinda want that? If they did Buzzer-Bot and Speedbot/Mototron v1, I'd probably have to try and get these...

Clearly they're knocking off the previously unseen Legacy Tigertron mold.

But yeah, that's a shockingly well done KO.

Has anyone pulled the trigger on these Brickyrobo things? They're supposedly like Missing Link for Machine Robo/Gobots. Which would be right up my alley, but the price tag is OUCH! So I was wondering what they feel like in-hand and if they're even worth the asking price?

The comments section of ShowZ shares the sentiment that they're FAR too overpriced for what looks like "Missing Link Gobots":

People are still waiting for the original blue version of Coptor and red version of Turbo, so I would at least wait for a YouTube review of these figures.

KO SS86 Megatron

I read somewhere that the quality might not be so high for this manufacturer (so this might mean that ShowZ won't carry it).

(Edit: - The video below seems to address QC issues with this KO)


You can order it for about $30 here.

USKO Classics SG Optimus Prime.

(Slightly) OSKO AOTP Animated OP (w/KO Upgrade Kit) - Comparison with Original/Official Figure.

English Language Comparison with Original.

(The kit is interchangeable with the official figure too, but we might need a toothpick to get the official figure's feet back out of the upgrade kit's 'boots' as they might get stuck inside.)
