    Hey guys- I've done a little preliminary googling and eBay hunting, but I'm thinking maybe somebody here can help me find what I'm looking for.

    I'm looking for a KO of Shattered Glass Botcon "Purple" Prime or else a Voyager KO Scourge "Black" Prime. I picked up a nice lot of Micron legends weapons, and I'm looking for a not super expensive "bad" prime to duke it out with one of my Optimus Primes. (preferably purple, truth be told)

    Can anybody point me to a reliable dealer with decent pricing on one or both of those?

    Thanks guys!

    I got mine yesterday too from eBay. This guy is fantastic. Great plastic and diecast. Paint is good. Deco is good. The "teal" is a little more "seafoam" than I would prefer But I can live with it. I may hit the tires with some flat black paint.

    Re: the KO Evasion Nemesis OPs - would it be possible to give the teal pieces a lick of silver paint? Are they detachable?

    I just think that the teal is to garish.

    I paid $165 after shipping, and shortly afterward you could get them for $20-$25 shipped each. Not exactly 3X what I paid, but a punch in the gut nonetheless!

    The smaller versions actually hold their own pretty well in terms of stability of parts compared to engineering. To read the threads about the most recent ones, though, it seems as though the MP sizing is probably going to help a lot with guys like Sideload. And come on, Throttlebots aren't ever going to be more than background on any shelf anyway, surely you can find room in your heart for them to stand eight scale meters back from MP Magnus and Rodimus.

    I agree that the existing guys are good enough that I wouldn't feel shortchanged if they never did the other three, but it'd be a real missed opportunity given how many people who couldn't get an official Rollbar would look to complete this set.

    That said, uh, never mind. No one would want that. Better just put a bunch out super cheap for the Chinese kids.

    The hands are a solid block, articulated fingers are missing, the crane is a fixed piece rather than extendable..... head cannot turn, but can look up and down, the individual bot modes are pretty good, but 2 are like legends figures with really poor articulation. Other than that, I cant find anything drasticly different from online pics and reviews.

    Regardless its fun

    Agreed, so glad I ordered a Hercules, he looks like a really good neo g1 devastator and he'll look great with my other combiners
