    Here are some better photos of the oversized LioKaiser KO that I bought a long time ago.

    I don't know where he came from, and I haven't seen this KO every again, but he's a somewhat upsized, garishly colored KO, including fully transforming Brestforce partners. The quality is pretty good, all of the combining function is there. I'm pretty sure I have Killbison's breastplate partner, but I didn't find him the first time I looked.

    I'm thinking of selling this guy, he'd make a great project for someone who could paint him up to look like the original. I thought it was interesting that for all of the odd color choices, he seems to have all of the originals' functions, and has what looks like Decepticon symbols on his stickers.

    Is Leozak missing a tailfin, or do you have it stashed somewhere?

    It was. I had removed when it looked like SOPA was going to pass, but I have re-uploaded it again. Here's the link:

    I think there are a few pieces - one of the bat's wings, Leozack's tailfin, and the Bison partner - that are missing, but I believe I have them, just need to hunt them down. I recently went through my 'toy closet' storage bins where I had this stashed away, but now that I know what pieces I'm looking for I should be able to find them.

    Since each component is roughly deluxe-sized (though much simpler) I'm half tempted to see if Tomahawk would work as a stand-in for Deathcobra.

    Update on the 'crazy KO Liokaiser' as I'm now calling him - I found his missing breastforce partner - turns out I was using Killbison's partner as Leozack's, but I found the missing lionbreast (mmm...lionbreast) and now have all six mini partners. I gotta say, Killbison's partner does not look like a bison. I also found the bat partner's missing wing.

    So it's only missing one stabilizer fin from Leozack. Otherwise he's a crazy-colored, fully functioning, slightly oversized KO. I know absolutely nothing about this guy and his worth though - any input here? I've never seen one since on Ebay, though I only look every so often.

    I found this one on clearance in the bots CLOTHING isle of a K Mart. It's a "Mega Morphing Robot" that came free as a toy with a T-Shirt, which sold for $12 originally (I got it for $9). The shirt has ripoffs of movie Optimus, Bumblebee and Ratchet on it, while the toy is a red recolor of Robot Masters Reverse Convoy. The robot only has the Convoy head, not the Megatron one. It was also available in light green, but I liked the red.

    Actually, that's the Megatron head right there in the picture. Is it the oversized version of the mold, or actual size? Actual size being the same as deluxe RID Hero Megatron, and oversized being Voyager sized.

    The plastic and mold quality on that red one looks pretty awful from the picture, though I will say that the green and Blue oversized versions from China (I got mine under the amusing name of "Backroom Commandant") are actually quite impressive in terms of plastic and build quality... for cheap KO toys at least.

    Just note the plastic is like that of shampoo bottles. Also, if that's too big, your options are the original PE camera set, which is much smaller, or wait for TFC's DSLR camera crew.

    Like shampoo bottles...so it's kind of soft and bendy?...

    The original PE's version would be my first choice but at $70-$90 it's too much for me to pull the trigger on...and I'm thinking TFC's Reflector is going to be a little on the large side as well...
