    Nice! That would fit right in with Ectotron

    I had the Dropkick and Sinnertwin in my Sir Toys order, as well. Absolutely love it. I bought it to repaint because I thought with a new head he'd make a great Whirl. Glad I did, because it just feels fantastic in-hand.

    Sinnertwin I was really unimpressed with. Blot, Rippersnapper, and Cutthroat (whom I usually refer to as "Murder Chicken") all had diecast and heavy feeling plastic. Sinnertwin has no metal parts and the plastic feels cheaper. I felt like they did some corner cutting compared to his brethren.

    I have one of the KO Miniforce (the blue Humvee) and its...okay. I recently got the black version of the official set and let me tell you, those things are fun and sturdy bots. Expensive, but really nice. How crazy am I that I bought it to make a few customs out of? Lol

    Seems they depicted Astrotrain the same way in the Cyberverse and now in the Netflix one.

    I actually thinking about modding aoyi dropkick into whirl as well, but no idea which head would fit. What head are you planning to use?

    I have that Iron Hand figure too, and I'm not surprised he survived the trip. Those tractor-bots feel indestructible (I have the yellow one too). My only real disappointment is that their legs/feet are so stumpy.

    I was thinking of doing something similar, but I can't quite decide what to do with him now. I don't care that much for the stock head, so I'll be looking for some kind of replacement also.

    I hadn't even noticed the missing diecast on Sinnertwin, but you're right! It's nice to have, but I don't mind that much. The real problem is just that I find that Blot and Sinnertwin's joints are quite a bit "softer" (feels more descriptive than calling them "loose") compared to the first two. Still a pretty nice build. The balljoints I can firm up with some nail polish, but the pinned knees, not so much. :/

    Wow, that must have set you back a fair bit! These KO versions -look- nice, but I feel like I'd have to customize them before I could really enjoy them... if I ever make time.

    Which company would you most trust to make a Downsized Jetfire? Commander class is too big for how he's portrayed in the Siege cartoon.

    I sculpt my own.

    Yeah, they set me back a pretty penny. I have plans for several of them, but the crown jewel will be the dump truck. I'm taking the sides off, removing the dump truck cab parts, armoring it up, and he will be my hulking 11" tall MP Roadbuster

    Suprisingly I can do Grimlocks voice and it sounds almost exactly like him. Nice Grimlock though.

    The one on the right kinda looks like Dinobot from beast wars even though the colors are very similar to him.

    :confused: 
    Hmm just took a look at the listings. At first I thought the 28cm measurement for Nova Prime was going to be base of foot up the highest points of wing tips but that of course wouldn't make sense for the same sized listing for Battle Convoy as he doesn't have wings? o_O 

    I am not aware of NeoArt Toys oversizing any of their knock off's in the past so this would be a first? Unless the 28cm IS foot to wing tips at their highest making this a straight KO and the Battle Convoy listing is incorrect?
    I guess we'll just have to see if/when this gets released. :cool:

    I have this sword with a ROTF Bronze Action Attackers (or how this playskool line is called) Megatron. This Megatron has even lights and sounds!

    Removed some plastic from MFT grimlock's elbow so that he can bend his knee naturally on dino mode, because the dino knee not able to bend irks me for some reason. I removed it using exacto knife, which really reminds me how solid their plastic is.

    I think he looks more natural now.
