KO G1 Reflector. The spring in the missile launcher is a bit loose but the three robots are solid. I'm also a fan of the old school styrofoam box inserts.
Animated Medic and SG Optimus. Medic alone makes me wish they'd kept doing "alt colors" to recreate characters more, because she's a beauty next to Animated Bulkhead. Going to be interesting to see how Breakdown and Counterpunch turn out once they arrive.
CHMS Skywarp and TC would have to be near the top of the list - KO's that actually improved on the originals.
Oversized Defensor. Insanely rare. I had one and repainted him. He was sold off years ago and haven't seen another since. Miss that guy. Giant Defensor - Generation 1 Customs - TFW2005.COM
That confused expression on his face really does sum up my reaction to Beast Machines to boot. Go figure.
Then what is it? A bad batch who all share the same issues ? (super loose Frenzy, front wheels don't touch the ground, bumper is too far forward and not flush with the headlights) Also, the box is a lower quality (not as smooth) cardboard than other HA boxes (compared to HA BB and SideSwipe) ..unless they downgraded the quality of the boxes. I'm still secretly hoping it's a real deal..for some reason, I feel like I could enjoy QC issues more than a KO
iGear Thundercracker. Yeah I know it's third party but it is a direct KO of the original seeker with subtle mods. After that I'd have to say any KO Alt's/BT's.
Red faced Slag. It's cartoon accurate, and takara/hasbro never made one so this KO is the only way to go - Canadian Slag has a red helmut was close but had as silver face. Only drawback is it's pricey for a KO.
Agreed. Got both the orange and the yellow ones and they're not that great. I still need to buy that set. Anyway. My answer is the CHMS Purple Seekers. Wish they came out with a set of Blue not-Thundercracker Seekers as well.
