It's so weird seeing the KO makers going after the 3rd Party figures now.

 

No honor amongst thieves!

 

Hasbro's making a wreck-gar? :tflaugh

 

Related to the comic, I want hasbro or takara to make an official 2-3 foot tall devastator because there's no way I'm (/can) shelling out $600+ for one. Suck it little guys (at least on this project)

Big Lot has a series of combiner TFs. It has Aerialbots, Constructicons and Breatforce. There are no combiner parts, except the arm/launchers for Bonecrusher. I got the one that looks like Leozak, but the Breastforce toys may be scaled down. The regular transforming insect robots (not KOs) come on the same card backer.

 

IDK if the real Liokaiser needs additional parts to combine, but there definately isn't a head accessory.

yes Liokaiser has a seperate head piece..

The scaled-down Lio Kaiser KO also missing Hellbat, and instead has a miscoloured scaled-down KO of Doubledealer! (what?!) -- complete rubbish

 

Speaking of rubbish, since the KO of Legout (C-123 Dial/C-124 Saur) has come out, anyone collecting legit Japanese G1s will need to be extra cautious now. Fortunately High End TFs has made a web page detailing how to spot the differences between the fakes and the originals:

Check out the melted face on KO Legout!! F'ugly much...

Yeah the melted face (and other details) makes it look like the KO is a trace of an existing toy or maybe even a KO of it. The other details are wrong/larger than the Takara in that comparison picture.

 

I did notice the Doubledealer-esque toy but it isn't exactly him. Pretty close!

Just got these oversized Perfect Effect Reflectors. Cheap and cheerful, but will make good MP Reflector custom fodder...
