    just got the oversized beasthunters prime and leader class prime from Paul at sirtoys.
    I must say even though the plastic feels cheap, I LOVE these figures, the scale the colours, the overall look is brilliant. even if oversized beast hunters prime is a little too animated cartoony its still better ($ for $)then the thrilling 30 leader class re-sleave that I made the mistake of ordering.

    These were ordered as props for my kids 5th bday party tomorrow but after tomorrow they will moving to my display case.

    Really want that oversized wfc prime now if any one see's one anywhere online please PM me.

    I don't think these are actually knock offs of anything, at least not of anything I know about, but have some good KOey sounding names. I only have the loader (Sharp Claw) and the excavator (Invincibility Arm of King) and they are of better quality and have more complex transformations than I thought they would. As well as real die-cast parts and good connectors.

    Although called 'Invincibility Arm of King' the excavator makes up the center body piece of the combiner. On his own he's a bulky voyager size (pic with normal size business card for size reference). He has another face on the back of his head for combined mode, not shown on the package picture.

    Pretty darn good articulation on these guys too!

    Stealthily snapped these pics with my old iphone in a dimly lit toy warehouse the other day (my excuse for the really bad quality pics).

    This kind of place is really for people who go to buy a crate full of stuff, for their night market shops, or whatever, but I often just cruise through to check out what new TF or fake Lego stuff they have. (This is where I got the above construction vehicles also)

    I dig the Real Gear hand grenade.

    Picked up these New Style Dragon Knight Warriors at 7-11. Each oversized Future Warrior is the Embodiment of Justice, and just want everyone to let them protect the Earth, and get their super energy out. These are the new Heavy Launch style with every styles fully wonderful.

    As you can see they are basically in their Takara colour schemes. The card backs are all the same, as well as the inserts and 'tech specs', reading "Life: 8; Power: 6; Agility: 10" for all of them.

    I went around to about seven 7-11s to find these four. Still one more beast to hunt down. They're a large scout size each I suppose. Some pics for size comparison included.

    And some more:
    This time we have 7 guys. Sorry only box art for 3 of them (the 3 I don't have).

    6 of them are duo-combiners, being more awesome than Battletrap and Flywheels with their own individual transformations as well. The other one is a triple-changer (the green quad-tank/scorpion).

    However, not being as awesome as the multi-force (the dudes that make Landcross), they can only be one or the other, top or bottom, for their partner only.

    I have:
    blue jet & orange helicopter team;
    red firetruck;
    green tank.

    Will swing back by this secret dusty/moldy fire-trap of a small stores upstairs storage room over the next few days to see if I can score the
    blue police car, red sports car, and yellow bulldozer.

    Love the Hand Grenade Guy. Those Oversized Terrorcons are cool... funny that they're in Hasbro colours mostly, but completely mismatched.

    Dong Man... translation is fun! :D 

    And the double-entendres just keep coming... :lol

    Not sure if this is commonly known yet, but on-line buyers beware -- The Kid's Logic set has been KOed.

    Through the bubble they seem quite authentic looking to me. Where I spotted these, I did not see Soundwave, but they had a set boxed up with Nemesis Prime replacing him. And quite a steep price, at NT$980 each!

    Sorry for my shit phone pictures. My phone is actually made of shit.

    Any pics of the duo-combiners, combined? They look cool from the artwork but wonder if that translated to the toys.

    Paul's got them pretty well documented on his site.

    I have the whole set (including multiple scales on a few guys, I love them as individual toys, they have a very "Cybertron/Galaxy Force" kind of feel, aesthetically and engineering wise.

    The combined forms are, however a bit weak, as topsy-bottomsy combiners usually are, not as bad as the worst of the Energon guys, but still pretty lack luster.

    Following Destrongerlupus' good info, I checked out SirToys myself. Here's the links to the 7 in the set where he Paul has put pictures of the combined modes as well. Also, search the site for Robo Revolution for different sizes.
