THE KNOCK OFF TRANSFORMERS THREAD

[unluckiness]

That one's a different mold designed to do exactly the same things as ER Scorponok but 3-4 inches smaller. Sculpting's different, he has clear blue plastic for some of the blue details, he has two pairs of shoulder guns that are also articulated, the scorpion legs are separate pieces and he comes with Fastrack, his gun, different blast effects and the clear face shield thing.

Actually preordered the thing. Their Metroplex was great, smaller size is a pro for me and not having to spend more money for add-on kits on top of being significantly cheaper is a huge selling point.

These type of knockoffs are great. Robot of the Car is my new favorite toyline.

If only for the trailer. That's why I got a KO G1 Optimus, to use the trailer with the SS89/Earthrise OP.

 

[Gizmoboy]

I do really dig that trailer.

I asked ShowZ if they're going to carry the Dinobots, but they said they can't. They're looking into Dropkick.

(Edit: - See the bottom of Dropkick post above for ShowZ link)

KO ROTB Bumblebee.

 

[Gizmoboy]

I dig that Bumblebee

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

(There are a number of, IMO, errors in the uploader's views on what KOs are, etc but it's still interesting).

(This is from around 1985, not "1935" as the YouTuber stated in the video above).

Here's a discussion about the ad above at Reddit.

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

(OS?)KO Deluxe TF: One Optimus Prime.
Bot mode's height is 19cm.
Vehicle mode's length is 15cm.

(Edit: - ShowZ stated that they won't be selling this item as "The retail price is over 20 RMB, but the shipping cost is estimated to be several times higher, likely costing more than the product itself.")

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

KO Diaclone Battle Convoy incoming!

It's rumoured to be around $100 and might be released around January 2025.

You can pre-order it at ShowZ here.

Edit: - It seems that the price might be $130, which might be great value in the US, but in Japan, that's closer to £200 equivalently.

I might not be able to afford this, even at KO prices...

 

[Gizmoboy]

Damn, that looks nice.

 

[Donocropolis]

If the quality is decent, I may be up for that. Those things are waaay outside of my comfortable spending limit, but a $100 version may be doable.

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

KO G1 "Piranhacon" Volcanicus.

Get it at Ali Express.

All good things, eh readers?

Video is below but an admin at the ShowZ Discord channel just warned me about Mangmotion videos:

1/ Mangmotion wanted to make a channel for adult collectors.
2/ YouTube has changed their videos to "Suitable for kids" (against Mangmotion's consent), which then makes their videos not show up for their intended audience of adult collectors in the algorithm.
3/ They decided to add NSFW content to start/end of their videos to "brute-force" YouTube to make their videos "non-kiddie" again.
4/ The side-effects of this is that adults who want to watch regular videos with "normal" adult content might actually see NSFW content and so this breaks the rules at various websites.

As in not fully sure they've done this for the video below, I've put it behind spoiler tags and reported my own post (in case any edits to this post need to be done by admins) as due diligence.

Here are some more vids.

You can pre-order it at ShowZ.

There's nothing wrong with that video, but I would say if you're unsure of what is in the video, don't post it until you've watched it.

I watched it, but I've got Sponsorblock and adblock on so I wasn't sure. Sorry. I've posted a warning thread about Mangmotion (sans video) here to hopefully help others avoid this.
