i wonder if this will mean the various coloured repaints of bluestreak, the blue bluestreak, the anime version not to mention prowl and smokescreen...

I saw that part as well. That pisses me off to no end. :mad:

But reading further down, it's saying there is no clear word on it yet.

True, if you look at what they did to poor Mirage and even that 'diaclone' Swoop.

It will get here just a matter of time unfortunatly. I'm betting it will be a "surprise KO Fort Max is here"!! Fingers crossed for a crappy one that is really obvious to spot....

I am actually more concern about KO parts flooding the market. A lot of collectors seem to piece their For Maxes bit by bit and flooding the market with KO parts will make it very difficult for them as it's harder to spot a KO part than a whole toy.

I hate to upset anyone, but there are already high quality KO Fort Max parts circulating in the secondhand market. Be careful.

Very True, most of the 'blue bits' have been done as well as spike. Spike is easy to tell due to the markings on his chest.

Not sure about the 'red bits' such as the radar. I think I saw a grommet? Can't rmemeber if thats his name but he was white lol.

There are no guides that I know of at this stage.
