#2 | | Keep it sealed Join Date: Jul 2002 Posts: 3,675 Location: Marlborough, MA Soon to be Worcester, MA Collection Count: Too many, around 200 | If you mean the Devistator, Superion, and others that came out a couple years back, then you get what you pay for. They are very lightweight crappy plastic. As to if they break easily? I couldn't say. I tossed my Devastator as it looked like a cheap Chinese KO. If you can't afford the originals and were never able to experience them, the KOs won't give you a good taste of what they are like.

If it's one those mix and match type of thing where they've mixed say Menasor and Computron into one, it generally indicates sub standard quality. | |

News Credits: 1 | I like the WST-sized versions of KO Superion, Devastator etc. The decals leave something to be desired. However, I like how they are in scale to the full-sized Metroplex and Trypticon. The plastic is a lower quality than Takara's WSTs, but if you don't plan on transforming these bots that much the KO's are worth getting. I just wish the "Menasor" combiner didn't have 2 "Technobots" for limbs.

You get what you pay for, though. Don't expect anything too durable or amazing. Quote: |

I have the original...one day when I have enough funds, I will buy get and original...to think I passed up on a set of Japanese versions that were MISB for USD$300! Arrghhh!! |
