    So they're just upsized LOCs? Ick. Guess I don't need to look for these.

    Opened the rest of them

    Here is the KOs compared to the HOC. The smaller version is HOC. Evac KO is more accurate colored than the official one.

    Not that many. A screw in the main body, pins holding the lower arms on. A pin where the body folds down. The rest seems to just be ball joints & 'nubs' holding in parts. I'm not going to try but it should be pretty easy to take apart and put back together.

    I'd be interested in kitbashing one of those Primes, for better articulation.

    dang, those actually don't look half bad ... and $2?
    half the price of a LOC and bigger? might have to pick up evac and prime.
    if they ever appear here.

    Those actually look quite cool. Though I was realy hoping we could get the voyager downsize of the supreme starscream for that small crown.

    Would it be possible to get some pics of that oddball g1 prime gun next to the real one, the robot masters, or the classics 2 pack, etc? I would buy one just to mod the handle so my g1 prime could have a gun he can hold correctly.

    Damn, I want that Megatron, would be great to paint into a Batmobile without ruining an expensive figure. If you got any extras of him, let me know!

    I find it funny that with most of the toys being named "Commander Car" or "Armor Battleplane" and such, that Megatron is still just "Megatron".

    Hrmmm... just LOC figures, scaled up?

    Yeah, I'm disappointed.

    Still... for those who like LOC figures, these ones are bigger and cheaper. I'm just bummed because none of these figures are all that attractive to me. If they want to scale up some KO TFs, why not classics Starscream, preferably in Thundercracker colours, eh? Or just all white, to facilitate dyeing. :)

    Well, damn, I, too, am disappointed, especially since the one I really want to see wasn't there. I want to see the Prime with the supposed trailer! How much were they, man? And thanks for the pics!

    Scaled up LOC's is still worth it for background characters. For example I could use a lick o' paint to turn the Screamers into generic Deceptijets. :D 

    And I remember hearing about these in the Knockoffs thread over at Seibertron.com many moons ago...

    Can you take a pic of this mode, but with the guns held on the underside of the hands, like in the show?

    Found them today picked up Megatron (to make a batmobile) and a Prime (for the shrine). RL if I go back I'll pick you up a Jetfire. Also, the Big Lot had the Universe Superion Micromasters. Picked up all 6 for $4 a piece.

    The bad aspect of almost all KO is that they NEED to be repainted to look fine.

    by the looks of it they are all the legends molds, so don't expect anything high tech.
