    There's a ko of the Maketoys Battle Tanker on the way... Transformers Galaxy just posted pics of a prototype on their FB page. Wonder who's making this.... I bet their name starts with C and ends in S. Hm....

    so, like half yrs ago, there's someone just post a link at Taobao.com for a auction of the MT Tanker KO, now, that things come true...

    but still feel so lucky that I got my piece from TFW2005's sponsor--BBTS.

    Seems like a good way to make a Scourge custom, though...

    I'm just guessing it'd be them. Going by their track record at least. Don't take my assumptions as to whom is behind this as fact.

    I already posted about this in the 3rd party forum. I think it could be our old friends chms behind it.

    This has been in works since the KO Insecticon rumors started. Same people are KOing these.

    This is being made by the same KO makers as the Fansproject Insecticons. The rumor for this coming out, popped out when we first learned the FP Insecticons were being KO'd too.

    If it's a cheap and cheerful remake then perhaps they might do the other possible colours ?

    I still do not know why the original has grey hands. I'd probably still buy the legit version but I'm always interested in bootlegs as they make good cheap custom fodder.

    Maybe they can Chrome it or tampo the 'Optimus Prime Octane' deco on the side - that would be cool.

    Obviously it would be more useful with Scourge and non-shattered Ultra Magnus cabs to go with it.

    But a nice cheap alternative if you have both Hasbro & Takara G2 Primes and want a trailer for both without having to pay full price. So it's not an insult to me even if you have the first version already.

    Hopefully it will get tested for a good fit a bit better than the City Commander Trailer was.

    Really? Well ok. Considering the quality of the KO Insecticons.....this will be an easy pass for me. I don't want something associated with a description of a "dildo".....on my shelf :D

    It'll depend on price and reviews to see if I get this. Also my patience. I don't really want to customize a legit Battle Tanker, but may have to.

    Honestly I'd buy a ko if the price is right. The original is to expensive for what it is.
