    Creo que no son del todo compatibles pero siempre se pueden modificar. En un video del canal de YouTube Benskcollectibles, el Youtuber intenta conectar un NBK con un JinJiang y la conexión resulta muy apretada.

    Now they look reeeeeeeaaaaallllyyyy good, even with huge backpacks. Just replace orange transparent plastic with metallic dark gray, silver, neutral gray, different purples, add some Decepticons logos and "fix" some articulations for stability.

    Just got mine and man, these guys are a customizer's dream. Cheap, fairly sturdy, easy to disassemble...I'm really happy. I was stunned that all the silver and black details (as well as the yellow and black caution stripes) are all seperate inset pieces that pop out once disassembled. I haven't had to mask a single damned thing yet repainting them!

    This is really the only thing I see as a positive about this set, very customizer friendly.

    Sorry if this has been previously answered. Does the Gravity Builder upgrade kit fit with NBK?

    The leg extensions and drills do. You'll have to mod to fit the head or the chest plate

    I thought the JJ ones were basically the NBK ones in yellow, only simplified? I'd have to read back through this thread to check.

    *edit: after checking back I think you could be right*


    Has a gun and a large weapon made from the swords!

    theyre similar to the nbk ones, but simplified in different ways and i think some had different heads. they also came with swords that clipped together and the crane had the combiner gun. i got the crane solely to give the gun to my nbk gravity builder haha

    I'd never seen them in the 'wild', so I'd completely forgotten about their existence :rolleyes:

    yea, theyre definitely less common to run across than the nbk one. biggest differences mold wise i remember from the crane was different bot mode head and the combiner head was a single piece that didnt have the light up eyes

    I have NBK Devvy... so considering they're the same price as NBK unless they're an improvement over them (doesn't seem likely) then it would just be for the gun ;)

    yea, theyre not really an improvement perse, about on par from what i handled. if you want a gun for devy id say get the crane or nbk megatron. personally i went with crane because i like nbk megatron too much to keep him in gun mode
