    I generally am clueless about these things, but aren't those the shapes of PE combiner hands and feet.
    (Which I realize aren't molded in one piece.)

    Is this the only OS of this mold?

    You can get a Warpath head version in Burgundy and in green too. As well as a larger "Voyager" size version with some metal parts.

    I did see an image once of one with no chrome on a single card in one of the asian countries (like Singapore or Malaysia) but i've never been able to find it myself.

    You can get these very cheaply on the asian auction sites and ebay they are good little scout/legends type toys.

    Happen to have both out at the moment, so I figured I'd take a couple comparison pics of Divebomb and Rampage.

    I agree. They are great figures, and the small changes in the mold make worlds of difference in individual bot modes (Arm gap fillers, articulation, and non-hollow legs). That said though, and as much as I love WeiJiang , I am personally still leaning towards PotP+DNA upgrades as being the superior combined mode at the moment. Will probably end up completing the WeiJiang set because I bought the Divebomb while getting impatient for DNA, and can one really have too many Predakings? But both the wings and hands fall short of DNA in my personal opinion.

    Wei Jiang on the left, PotP on the right:

    IMG-0854.JPG PotP with WeiJiang arms/wings:
    IMG-0857.JPG PotP with just DNA kit:
    IMG-0858.JPG And one with Invecta solely because I just got it and hadn't gotten a group shot yet. Although it probably scales better with UT. I don't trust Warlord to stand on my counter without tipping off though:
    IMG-0859.JPG

    And a couple of this Prime I've been meaning to share and just hadn't taken any shots of yet. Not as heavy as MP10 due to lack of diecast, but an amazing-looking figure at $120 for a cel-shaded MP. As far as I can tell, no KO company in particular has taken credit (at least from the eBay listings), but a truly great figure.

    I think that the DNA set may be better if people are really mostly looking for a better Predaking.

    The WJ set takes it further though - the most significant aspects of it are the improvements to the individual bots, I think. I like POTP Predaking a lot, but I like the bots too, so I welcome the new joints and stuff.

    I still have some uncertainty about the durability of the plastic in the WJ set. It feels like it might be "harder" and maybe more breakable than the Hasbro materials... but I can't really say for sure. And of course, the engineering is wonderful.

    I really don't know why WJ didn't take it to the next level and actually give us G1-style swords and guns for each character.

    Is this toy a KO version? I bought it at Action figures sale and there is also a bumblebee, which I bought there. I heard that it is legally securing the WeiJiang license. What do you think of the KO figure toy?

    That looks like a modified Battle Blades Bumblebee.

    Considering that they sell WeiJang figures, a company which specializes in knocking off and “modifying” official figures, I would say that is one of their products. So yes, definetly not official.

    I can’t say anything for your Iron Man, though.

    I was actually thinking that a lot of the WeiJang figures on there seemed a little overpriced, so I wouldn’t spend much there TBH without comparing prices elsewhere first.

    So this is an advert then?

    Whatever it is, it's in the wrong forum.
