    We've done this before, lets do it again.

    I guess I could show off a few of my KOs. This is about a tenth of my KO collection:

    KO G1 Megatron, aka Destroy Monarch
    [​IMG]
    This is one of my favorites. The firing mechanism is still intact in this one, and he comes with all the goodies that the original Megs did, plus his Japanese counterparts sword. I ordered some stickers from reprolabels.com and tightened up the joints using nail polish and superglue. Eventually I'm going to paint the face silver.

    KO Fireguts Ginrai and Godbomber, aka King of the Container Car
    [​IMG]
    Another great KO, the plastic on this one isn't as good as Megatron, but is way above most other KOs.

    Kabaya Quickswitch
    [​IMG]
    KO Predaking
    [​IMG]
    Woo hoo! I love this guy. The plastic is decent quality, but definently not up to par. Comes with all the weapons of the original.

    KO Abominus
    [​IMG]

    KO Deathsaurus
    [​IMG]

    KO Reflector
    [​IMG]

    KO Energon Bruticus
    [​IMG]

    KO DaiAtlas
    [​IMG]

    KO Kabaya Cassettes (Plus one High Quality Buzzsaw KO)
    [​IMG]

    KO Perceptor

    The plastic quality is about the same as your upper class BigLots KO, maybe a little better. They do seperate, but the locking mechanism on the energon combiners is changed over for a simple peg design that works pretty well. A couple of the joints had to be tightened up with nail polish, especially the weapons/feet/hands. It's the same size as the original. I'm very happy with it.

    I think David over at toyhell still has them in stock.

    A few more from my collection. I'll post more when I get some free time.

    KO Dreadwind and Darkwing
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    Got them from BigLots. I didn't like them at first, but after I tightened the joints and tweaked a few things I think they're OK

    KO Ramhorn and KO Kabaya Steeljaw
    [​IMG]

    KO Psycho Orb (I think that's his name)
    [​IMG]

    KO Computron - Scattershot is genuine, but the limbs are all KO
    [​IMG]

    KO Kabaya Blaster
    [​IMG]
    I like the size of this figure. It's just a little bit shorter than Titanium Soundwave.

    KO Kabaya Landcross
    [​IMG]
    I think this is probably my most hated KO. Doesn't stay together well, looks horrible.

    ^ Wow, that kingdam Whirl is news to me too. I bet most the ones I've seen loose in lots on ebay are that one.

    I've got three:

    A Swindle-coloured BT Hound. Decent quality and good bashing fodder, but I put a spare Rollbar head on him for now.

    Robot Masters Victory Saber. Star Saber is a bit floppy but they work fine.

    A three-robot train combiner from the Brave series, a pretty decent figure but the individual bots are ugly.

    king dam 01-03 were the diabattles
    kingdam o5 was browning
    kingdam 06 was starscream

    I have a KO G1 Onslaught. He came with Bruticus' head, too, so it's possible that he could combine.

    Hey there guys. Not sure if the Whirl KO is actually stamped as Kingdam. I have not had it out of the box in a while. I really have been meaning to get a proper macro studio set up sometime (wanted to take some pics for Jason) but this was just the quick and dirty picture.
