THE KNOCK OFF TRANSFORMERS THREAD

KO ROTB Nemesis Prime just arrived in the post today.



I gave up with most of the accessories as they looked silly and couldn't really be stored on the robot mode or lorry mode that well/at all.

KO SS Prototype Megatron

OSKO BB

Anyone a fan of the Silver Samurai?




And while we're on the subject of cool, silver KOs...

That is super sexy

Hello,

I've seen two sets of KO Combiners that I'm intrerstad in buying for the kids (they are 6 and 4 years old) but I don't want the stuff that will break on the first play - I know that you get what you pay for but I've got some KO's that are ok

For the 6 yr I want to but the Dinobots set: https://www.amazon.ca/HSEONEJIA-Dinosaur-Transforming-Deformation-Combination/dp/B0C5LQG26Y?th=1
On the plus side, they look like the Dinobots from the cartoon, their transformation was made more simple and they combine - the reviews are mix and I cant find any information on this set - every time I look I get the POTP Colored Dinobot set

If not that set I thought about this set: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006684662934.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.465338daO43bRn&mp=1 - the Beast set, 5 Dinobots like robots with nice designs. I've seen videos of this set but can't find a review, are they playble or mostly for display?

For the 4 yr I'm intrestead in this Protectobots KO (the red one): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...xSlQg9H9&utparam-url=scene:search|query_from:

I got him a KO G1 Ariealbots set and he loves them, I know that there are a lot of KO of Defensor and I can find a lot of information on other KO but not this one (with the Gold highlights and the red hood on First Aid)

I would appriciate and help or insight you have on those, are the worth buying?

Many thanks in advance

I think my big concern about K.O.s is usually the plastic quality. I'm not sure about the particular ones you're looking at of the quality of the plastic used. Some I have gotten in the past (not from these particular places) have been great quality, while some have been total flimsy crap. Hopefully one of our users has a little more information for you on these.
Thanks for bringing the conversation over here.

Welcome to the boards!

The first link to Amazon Canada doesn't seem to work for me.

However, I'll try to recommend you some ones. Please bear in mind that most, if not all of my recommendations have probably sold out by now, as they are a few years old by now.

The best KO combiners that were going around were the Combiner Wars versions (and by extension, the POTP Dinobots). I've seen the Protectorbots, Aerialbots, Combaticons, Stunticons, Terrorcons and Predacons in their original sizes. The Terrorcons had most of their team members oversized, plus the Dinobots were oversized and were available in both G1 and Power Ranger (dinoforce?) colours. The Constructicons were downsized to roughly the same size as the mainline combiner wars combiners. Some of the CW sets, like the Arialbots and Combaticons, also got slightly simplified versions of team members and/or primary colours recolours (green, blue, red versions, etc).

I'll post some info about them below, which might help you find these at sites like eBay, Taobao, etc.

This set has been out for a while but is possibly still being produced:

(Have a look around YouTube and check out the video descriptions to see which websites they've been ordering from. You might have to start your own searches as the direct sales links for older toys might not work anymore).

Here's another Dinobot styled ko (of a 3p original?):

I bought the following Dinobot styled combiner for about 30 dollars in the last 6 months:

- https://showzstore.com/super-teenager-beast-mechanical-dragonyan-man-combiner_p5327.html
- https://youtu.be/HNewdH9FYWQ

You might be able to find it still, but it's a flimsy, non-poseable figure in combined mode and may need adult supervision to combine it.

Also, there are several "legit", official or mainstream Chinese and Korean combining/transforming robot toylines, which are also mainly available at Taobao, eBay, etc.

Also, I bought some (not so great) combiner robots from the "Daiso" budget chain of shops in Japan, which might be available in Canada? Check out the post about them here. You might also want to check out some Dollar stores in your area and/or regular department stores as I've read they also carry KO TFs sometimes?

Hope this helps!

KO ROTB SS Rhinox.


Also, here's a comparison video between the KO and official versions of SS Concept BB Megatron.

I'm interested. It looks acceptable, and I will never own an original.

I'm kind of with you on that one @CoffeeHorse. The base mode can at least interact with Mini-cons pretty well as well as other city bots.

It should also interact pretty well with the Kabaya Zone set.

I've not ordered from AliExpress before. That price makes it very tempting though.

This seems to be a KO of SS Bayverse Hotrod, with a third mode and Snakeyes' head.

What a weird thing.

(I understand the Hot Rod KO from the same company has pretty ropey tolerances FWIW).

I do like his Snake Eyes visor. That's a cool thing
