    Don't worry man, its going to remain mib. I had a few of the individuals bots growing up. I think the fragility is more due to an engineering/design aspect, very 80-ish if I m making any sense.

    Bryger, will update you next week. The guy didn't have it with him last week, so I m not sure if its been already sold. Its not a 1:1 accurate KO, the colors were definitely off.

    If its the helicopter that has a bug alt form, that's really sweet find.

    My individual racetron members didn't have the combiner parts, not sure if they only came in the giftset or were all packed along within a "leader" bot.

    The only color variations of the giftset that I know of, are the combiners parts ala Mr Hardhat.

    Ebay:
    Í got it of eBay a while ago. Unfortunately I don't remember the store name. I think he was about $10-11. My plans were to repaint this one into "Galvatron", but I never got around doing so.

    Hmm I'm not sure. If you're lucky you might find one on eBay that has evaded the K.O policy. But before all that he was pretty common on eBay.
    Hower I'm selling mine, see below :)

    actually, those look better than the Duocons. When did you get these and where could I find them? (since Big Lots stopped selling KO's)

    Picked these guys up at the dollar store because they looked interesting, and I couldn't recognize them from anything. I know they're not actual TF knockoffs, but I don't know if they're from some other robot line or not.

    Big Lots here in Raleigh has the KO of Optimal Optimus and TM2 Megatron for $12.99, 2 packs of the individual bots for a KO Defensor , Bruticus and Devastator, but without the gestalt parts for $2 each 2 pack. And more than a TON of Power Ranger KO megazords, and some KO Gundam with a lot of extra parts that would make any kitbash look real good.

    Couldnt resist not picking up the Optimal Optimus, too bad he doesnt light up, but some modding will cure that real quick. Lots of screws holding it together which actually gives it some playability.
