Looks like he gave in and is now probably contemplating suicide or hunting down the seller of the KO in question.


I hate to say it Lint but that 'Cyber Insect Transformer' is not bad for $2. At one of my daughter's lessons last week I saw a kid playing with one of the six in the series and just had to have a look. His mum and I soon got talking (she bagged it out as just a cheap, crap thing from the Chinese shop) and she said she would like to get her and others kids real Transformers for Christmas but Kmart and Target hardly ever had anything. I told her of the new Sup/Bruticus sets at Myer which she was very interested in and we continued to have about a ten minute discussion on Tf's and collecting.
But yeah...old 'Cyber Insect Transformer' there isn't bad as it doesn't actually copy any official mould. Bit of customisation and it could really work.

Strangely I find these photographic instructions far better than their hastak equivalents. Collect brimstone and his retarded friends today!

I saw these today at a local Red Dot! :p

I also saw a funny one at Kmart. I'll post the pics later.

I have give kudos to these bootleggers for actually bothering to use photographic instructions! Something that I haven't seen HasTak do for years!

I last saw a photographic instruction from Takara in 1999... last time I saw a photographic instruction from Hasbro was 1984!

Mmm robogrip... kinky. Certainly gives them an edge over my battlechargers

Maisto usually make nice little replica cars. Their first foray into the transforming vehicle market consists of the same toy repainted no less than nine times.

Legends KO's

Back of box, I was actually considering purchasing the vector prime.

A bigger sized KO brimstone.

Funny thing about this guy is that he comes packaged in brimstones box so on the back he has brimstones instructions.

Complete lack of detailing makes this hotshot a good blank canvas for an awesome paintjob.

those first two aren't TF rip offs.

I just noticed that at the moment there's one of the Korean oversized Onslaught KOs on eBay. If you haven't seen one of these before, they're bizarre and can cause a double-take because of their scale. They also don't have neutered launchers (on Onslaught's back) and there are wheels that go on Bruticus's chestplate to make it a space ship. (These pics aren't from the auction, since I'm not condoning knockoffs yada yada yada, but they are from crazysteve's amazing site which is definitely worth checking out if you never have: http://www.geocities.com/scrambledci...orbypre88.html):
