    there are 6 in the first series (or so the package says so), and those six come in all different colors. here are prowl and sideswipe. after opening them, it looks like they may be blown up wst versions. the other four are blown up minicon kos. if you notice, they're even called autobots.

    Looks more like Prowl and Red Alert.

    Great find!

    this is the whole first series aside from all the color variations. the only one i didn't see with an alternate color scheme was prowl. maybe there will be a series 2???

    The other cars are cool, but of course the Prowl and Sideswipe are my faves! Nice find, bro!

    Nice oversized Street Speed Team and Corona Sparkplug, and it looks like the Sideswipe and Prowl are based off the WST figures. Definately going to have to search my local Big Lots for these.

    How is the plastic quality?

    Those actually look really cool as cheap alternatives to G1 toys.

    not the best, but the g1's are better than the minicons (as far as the transformations staying together anyway)

    they also had a crapload of the micromaster sized gestalts; devastator (brown), sixwing, sixtrain, and sixbuilder, all of which i have rarely seen there. so maybe big lots has decided to carry them as a regular item. also, they had all their regular tf kos; beast wars, galaxy defender, insecticons, protectobots, combaticons, etc.

    I learned my lesson when I bought the easter basket with Superion. What a piece of crap! I'd rather put out the $$$ for the originals.

    I got the ko Devastator, and I'm not _really_ sure I'd spend any more money on them. I saw the Prowl about a week ago but he's all plastic and there's a bunch of funnyness with the details.

    Pretty cool! I have several knockoffs and the plastic quality range from pretty decent to absolute ass. If those WSTF KOs are fairly decent maybe I'd be interested in checking them out!

    Your KOs are practically celebrities in the comics forum :lol 

    I would check out the Prowl and Sideswipe, they look kinda cool. Those more talented then me could probably sprouse them up with some paint too.
