    The original toy had furry hands, but not in the show.

    He didn't? Well, I've never been a great defender of show accuracy. I've always felt they should take the great from different sources instead to dogmatically sticking to one depiction. I like him having fur on his hands since it fits with the rest of the fur in his robotmode :)

    Check your junk folders, everyone. Just paid the balance on my copies at show z which means this guy will be on the way in the next couple of weeks.

    Sill questioning the title that pretty much tries to sabotage the success of the figure.

    You mean "Skateboard Gorilla"? Will it really? The market for this toy is pre-existing fans. We buy them whatever they're called to skirt trademark because we know the names there are only there to skirt trademark. It could be called "Rrijedgndrie 4848tyh dfgjhgdfuyj" and we'd buy it because the name doesn't matter.

    I’m talking about the part that calls it a KO. The word alone turns people away from products without a second glance. It’s been obvious from the start that the similarities were purely because the old toy was already extremely accurate to the show.

    You just have to click it to look at the pictures to know it is not a KO. But Mods, can KO be taken out of the title???

    What are you talking about. I'm purchasing this because I want Skateboard Gorilla. I completely unique stand alone cybernetic gorilla warrior commando that happens to have a passing resemblance to another character in a completely unrelated IP.

    Agreed, we have MP-scaled Season 1 and TM2 Megatrons, so TransArt is the perfect company to fill the last gap.
