    These are MINI Animated KO's.

    Many of you have been wanting a mini Bumblebee and this might be what you have been waiting for. I know a lot of people were wishing that the oversize bumblebee was actually smaller then the real one, so here it is.

    They are about 10CM tall in robot mode.

    There is Optimus Prime Cybertron mode, Bulkhead and Bumblebee.

    Sorry for the bad pics. I will try and locate some sets this weekend for better pictures.

    Kinda tempted on the Bumblebee clone, but it looks a bit too simplified for my taste.

    I do loathe straight KOs, but stuff like this is always kinda neat, for novelty's sake... hope we can get someone to take alot of pics of these; I'm curious how simplified they are.

    Bumble bee seems pretty cool in car mode and OP looks awesome in robot and alternate mode! Bulky is weird.

    if they were an inch smaller, they'd be extremely nice Legends sized toys. Instead, I'd just rather wait for the activators line, as these are the same size as those.

    I don't think that Mini KO bumblebee transforms the same way .. ! I am wondering if this mini KO can stand still firmly.
    Although the instruction on the back of the card is an exact copy ! DAMN I 'd rather see the maker made an exact copy with scale down in size !

    Interesting. They don't look too bad, and would make some good kitbash fodder. I especially like the mini Bulkhead. Even with his head sticking out there in alt-mode. Here's hoping that we get an oversized KO of Sentinel Prime some time. I'm actually considering getting him, but if we got an oversized KO, I'd be more likely to by that then.

    I agree. I'd like to see mini KO BB compared to legit Bulkhead or Prime.

    He can stand but you have to angle him sightly.

    I added the card back for the supersize animated bee by mistake. I have corrected the link, take a look for transformation instructions for all 3 now.

    to the others who want comparison pics, I have added some bot mode pics but we only took comparison pics in alternate mode so I would have to take more, maybe we will tomorrow.

    Wonder if they will make a slighty oversized version of The two pack battle damaged OP.

    I want that friggin axe for the Voyager version, but I dont want to buy the two pack to get it.
