    Not too bad. The Plastic quality is okay, it kinda feels like the plastic from the ROTF Scout class figures. The figures are a little simplified. For example, Swindle's hips can't rotate at the calf and the neck joint is missing. Blast Off's head is molded right in to the chest and his hips have been simplified as well. But all in all, it's a good KO.

    I asked about the seekers because All I need, really, is Ramjet. My goal is to make my Seeker set from a Seeker in different universes.
    Prime Starscream, Cybertron Thundercracker, Armada Thrust, FoC Skywarp, Revenge of the Fallen Dirge, Tetrajet Sunstorm, Classics Acid Storm. I just need Ramjet, and he's a pain, because he seems to have a very limited run of Deluxe versions. So, his coming from Classics means he'd be using Acid Storm's Mold, and that kind of goes against my premise of the collection. Ah, such is life. Acid Storm is also a hard one to find multiple continuities of. Oddly, Sunsotrm got more love than either of them in that department.

    I got mine this week as well and it's fantastic quality. I didn't know his head had a joint so his mouth could open!

    Also itching for that Black EM Prime.

    Did you find out how much more it will be and if they will be doing all the other versions of this mold like the Rusty and stuff. I think there were some other pics a few pages back of the KO

    I don't think he's a knock off of any existing TF the only thing he has knocked off is Sunstreaker's head.

    That is a generic car with a Sunstreaker head. I have also seen a tank like that.

    I tried to go for something like this as well. I suggest using ROTF Thrust instead. The Armada mold sucks ass...

    Argh there was a blue version of that guy that I can't remember that bloody name of now. Hang on someone asked about that a while ago I'll see if I can't dig that thread up again.

    In the mean time never knew this existed and now I want one very badly......

    There must be at least ONE manufacturer in China who is still producing these Classic Seekers. I want them in those generic Seeker colors.

    They were plentiful years ago but the well has dried up it seems. The main maker of the KO was CHMS and it seems they went legit, so to speak.
