Hello

I have a question about knockoffs if anyone can help me with this ?Do they look cheap for instance constructicons.I know they don't have that many of the diecasts part but anyone one with this info could give a write back.I'd like to know about them.

Egh the only KO that i have is the terrorcons, the dude that I bought it from on ebay sent it to me out of the box and it was all smashed and crammed inside with nothing to keep it from moving around. Well the foot peg broke off in the bottom of the left leg bot, and the holders that hold the heads of the arms were all smashed in.

 

Never again will I waist money on a KO, unless I run across one of those Galaxy defender megatrons.

The only knockoff I would really recommend is the Reiden one, since it's very expensive to find the originals. The qualities vary on every mold from decent to terrible, so it's like playing a lottery. But then, you only shell out between 5 to 10 bucks for them...

Well Ko's are like Cracker Jack boxes, the surprise comes at the end.

 

I have several KO's in my collection. Some are real lame but some others are real good like that Armada megs and the Bruticus KO

I got a knockoff Devastator that is pretty good. The plastic is cheaper, but the joints are tight and it stays together quite well.

 

The KO Superion is the worst excuse for a toy I have ever seen. :tdown

Agreed, but the knockoff Superion (with a little tweaking) helped supe up my real Silverbolt to give him the Japanese launch mechanism :D

the knockoffs are a catch-as-catch-can. I have a few of the KO sets, some are crappy, some are great, you just don't know what you're gonna get. I've got two Aerialbot sets, one set I haven't had any problems with, the other set Skydive and Slingshot were broken in the package. Luckily Big Lots had those two in a two-pack to replace with, and I haven't had any problems with those. The G2 KO Hook is absolute crap tho, two of those and they had the same problems and broke the same. The G1 KO Hook appears to be just fine however. Just remember, you get what you pay for, but for the price of the KO's, might as well pick up 2 or 3 sets just for backups if nothing else :)

knockoffs can be useful for kitbashing.

i have had little experience with kos but be carefull from what i hear is they are to be used with the originals they can be different sizes (eg defensor)

 

on another note welcome to transfans.

I saw them at walmart two days ago (galaxy defender). Looks neat, but didn't buy it. Hopefully someone here will say it's decent.
