They're doing Zazorigun too. I don't really do vintage G1 but I'm kinda tempted if only because Zazorigun never got a toy.

Here's a bit of fan-fiction, linking the character to Transformers.

Would be cool if Siyang would do a repaint/remold of Heidelberg based on this. I wouldn't want him full titan scale, but Heidelberg size would be a nice middle ground.
That is absolutely the kind of KO I can get behind. Creating toys of characters that would never otherwise get them.
Five Below has a neat looking Transformers line: https://www.fivebelow.com/products/...t5PAnn5Mt1DF-jzlFs_aem_5bKh3hwbzEnZbHAcCorpxw
I wonder how big they are compared to regular Transformers because I would include them.

I've picked up a couple of those. They're not bad background scene filler type bots for $5, but they're not great, either. Plastic is shampoo-bottle grade and the paint is pretty sketchy. The helicopter and the jet are the best of the bunch. One thing that I will grant is that they all come with pretty decent weapons.
For sale in a local Ito Yokado. They seem to be rather lightweight figures, sold in heavier "display boxes" to tart them up. I didn't bother as, like many KOs in Japan, they're too expensive (¥1,000 each).
Sales spiel.

Saw some more KOs at Five Below. Picked up this blue truck, which I'm 90% is based on a Tobot figure. At five bucks......ehhh. The plastic is thin and weak-feeling, the simplified arms have no shoulder rotation so he can't actually aim his giant gun forwards, the wheels don't roll well. On the other hand, the triple Gatling cannon's handle is just a shade under 5mm (used a Battlecharger for size comparisons, it's a little loose in his grip but it doesn't wiggle too much unless I shake him), so if nothing else I might just steal that for another bot later.
They also had a couple of tanks that looked like they were based on 2007 Legends Brawl, but they looked even lamer.

I picked up the two tanks and left the blue truck! The tanks are likewise bad, but not so terrible that you feel cheated at $5 a piece, but you also don't feel like you've gotten some kind of great bargain, either.
Please show us some pics of your toys!
They look better in pictures than they feel in-hand. Best part of both is the weapon. The missile launcher's weapon can be held either as a gun or as a rocket launcher. Like all the Five Below "original " transformers, they're a bit rubbish, but wouldn't look bad filling in the background of a battle scene.
They look like KOs of Legacy Impactor to me. I like the blue one the most.
Cheers for the pics!
OSKO(?) Legacy BW Laserbeak.
Slow news day, so here's a new review of an old KO.
Saw these today -- forgot to take a pic of the back. Upsized, likely simplified KOs of the Legacy Core Dinobots in various colors. Light green Grimlock, purple Scarr, blue Slug, orange red Sludge, yellow Snarl, lighter orange Swoop. The multicoloredness reminds me of the Transformers Go! redeco of Abominus.
Looked it up and apparently there's a giftset packaged version the store I was at didn't have. The store did have all six. (These are priced so that a set is about... $20? $25?)
The arm bots come with tiny CW handfootguns (which is kinda clever), but the leg bots don't seem to come with the feet-plate things depicted in the box art and even the instructions. There's also combining weapons (into a big sword for the combined form), which is neat. The giftset I linked to above does come with the feet-plate things, which look pretty nice. No jointing, apparently, unlike Dinoking, but hey.
Oddly there are two versions -- one carded, and one boxed on a different shelf -- but the contents (such as they were) were identical. And then there's the giftset, which I'm wondering if they'll bother with here.
Actually some head retooling (Scarr uses a Sideswipe head, wow) and honestly this has me a little curious.
Mirroring the pics from that online listing.
