Has this been confirmed anywhere or is it just speculation.

 

One of the sellers confirmed it was posted earlier in the thread

 

I got my vortex and blast off today. Vortex seems fine. Blast off has a few issues. His knees don't seem to work, and one of his missile pods is missing the handle/connector part. I'm going to try and see if I can get a replacement, but since it was from an ebay seller I'm doubtful.

 

I just got Vortex today and I love it. My plan for now is to complete my Warbo Bruticus with this Vortex and their version of onslaught.

 

I got my Vortex and Blastoff today, and I am very happy with it.

 

Ordered Wukong's Blast-Off as an experiment. Always wanted to have Warbotron but also in progress of completing GT's Devy... so yeah, me being a cheapass I guess. Although the original Warbo figures aren't really easy to find for a decent price - I've tried. Anyhow, curious how this will go. Benscollectables' review was quite positive. It's bootleg so I'm ready to make some concessions; just hope the combiend mode will be as awesoem as I hope and that it will hold.

MachineBoy is pretty equal I think, I just don't like the colors to be totally honest. But the pricing is just crazy good...

 

As an individual figure, Wukong's Blast Off is great. As an arm, though, the ratchet in his connector is way too loose on mine. It can't even support his weight, let alone the gun's (FWIW, my WuKong Vortex is better). I'm fine with the other WuKong limbs, but I'm thinking about hunting down a Warbotron Blast Off.

 

Has there been any word as to what color their onslaught will be? Hoping for at least a similar color to the original, not day glow orange or something.

 

Yeah think I read something about that earlier... maybe that was also you   Did you look into possible fixes? I'm not sure it can be fixed just thinking there's often a way to tighten stuff with polish, piece of cardboard/plastic, etc. Haven't heard the same complaint in 2 video reviews but they didn't really address the combined mode.

 

Might have been me.  

Yeah, I took his chest apart, took the peg out, and took the peg apart. Not sure there's really anything to do about it short of replacing the ratchets. Nothing really to tighten, and no springs putting tension on the ratchets. For now, I just pose my combined Bruticus with Blast Off holding the gun casually to the side and the Vortex arm is pointing.

I expect, unless I just got a bad one, it'll become a more well-known issue when the WuKong Onslaught releases and more people start combining him. I just got impatient and bought the Warbo Onslaught.

 

Fair enough - I can understand your impatience   Let's hope for others it won't become a well-known issue with WuKong's BO, it remains to be seen I guess.

 

Mine just came in the mail..

Shall just list the major problems i found
Brawl:
Shield doesnt fit on the arm track piece
Arm track piece doesnt fully collapse

Blastoff:
In alt mode the two pieces doesnt close fully around the upper arms.

Vortex:
Some minor alignment issues in the legs that doesnt allow the vehicle mode panels to be ligned up nicely

Swindle:
A-OKAY!!

Damn am i mighty impressed with these K.O.

No stress marks anywhere yet..and its just super value for money that i double dipped..

Yes i hv wb-01.

Having listed the minor problems..i would guess these ko guys would be displayed in bot modes while the original wb01 will be in combined mode..

Light piping was on everyone except for brawl.
As for the issues i listed..anyone else encountered the same??

 

My Brawl has the same issue with the shield not properly/comfortably sitting on the arm. I also have the Vortex alignment issue although it's not something I would have mentioned as it is very slight. Otherwise, no issues with all 4 of them.

 

Where you also have the Warbotron set, have you tried substituting the KO limbs for the originals? I'm curious to see how they stack up.

I've seem to remember reading somewhere that the combiner port ratchets for Blastoff were kind of weak.

 

Seconded.

 

Teron, if your Brawl is anything like mine, the arm tread on his left arm just needs a little extra push to drop down into 'Bot mode position. I at first thought it was a design flaw, but after a little extra effort on the first transformation, it's been fine ever since.

Also, if anyone else has super weak rivets on Brawl's drop-down heel spurs, I found a super easy fix for his feet so you won't need to bother.


No matter what I did to those rivets, I could NOT get them to tighten. I ended up giving up and gluing a very small sliver of styrene to the end of the heels on his feet. They still close into his toes just fine, but put just enough push on the heels to keep him upright.


I can still drop the triangular heels down if I want to, But now I can get the Machine Boy Brawl to preform a high kick without NEEDING those weak heels for support.

 

UGH. Please, SOMEONE do a should fix for Brawl! This is getting insane! 3rd iteration and he STILL has those crappy shoulders.  

 

Thx for the tip! I'll go fiddle with the tracks on the forearms of brawl and see if they are the same as urs..
Shall try to squeeze some time to combine them ko limbs with the non ko onslaught and post here

 

I did a great mod to mine and he is 100% better. I will post pics later with at least a written tutorial, I was going to wait to post the pictorial tutorial until I got the parts to mod my warbotron version. I hope you guys like what I have done, I do.

 

Any updates on the Nonslaught release?
Sirtoys has him listed for August-ish (estimate)

Still waiting for my 4 limb bots to arrive.
Funny this came out same time I picked up CW Bruticus. Be fun to have them together on the shelf, after never owning any sort of Bruticus.

Even though G1 bruticus looked shit, it was the one I most wanted as a kid. Replaying one of the games the other day, so bad ass when you do the big stomp, shockwave punch attack and flamethrower. Bruticus, Metroplex, Trypticon, Omega and Grimlock were the highlights of those FOC/WFC games for me, so epic!
