    Are these based on Megazords of some sort?

    They're originally designed by TFC for a Chinese kids' program called ?Star Brigade? if I'm not mistaken
    The original colours are grey and blue.
    Not sure if this is a KO of that or the company saw the potential in making them in AOE colours to boost sales.
    49USD from chimungmung... plus it combines and is slightly shorter than Hercules.

    I think the strategy is very intentional, since the packaging is an almost identical KO... just removing enough of the trademark names and icons to make it legal, but close enough to maybe fool people who don't have English as their first language, or parents who wouldn't know a Transformer from a Power Ranger, so could end up buying something that looks familiar... or just prefer to buy the cheapest things for their brats who are going to break it within a week anyway.
