    I went to check on mine but I seem to have applied my stickers. Sorry to not be of any help. How will you be restoring the original if I may ask? (I have an original that could need some restoring)

    Are the shoulder and leg spring ratchets still there?

    There are ratchets, but they feel gnarly strong compared to the cheap-ish plastic of the figure... landing gear are still spring-loaded too.

    I'm surprised this mold is still alive. They seem to be doing a great job staying under BW's radar. Maybe they should pick up TFs as well. lol

    No worries, i got help on the original KO thread, thanks!
    Galaxy Shuttle KO Incoming

    About the restoration, basic stuff, im gonna dissasemble the figure to clean all the dirt and grime, retrobright with peroxide and make custom stickers with the scan provided (might need to vectorize to improve details)

    Check https://www.youtube.com/c/toypolloi channel for some tips, i found we use similar restoration techniques :)

    Bravo, nice one spotting that, Were you looking out for it from time to time?

    And a reputable AliEx store to boot. I guess Giftlove must've kidnapped their elephant? :lol 

    I wonder if these can also be found on Taobao. I really need an OSKO Onslaught in camo blue to combine with these guys. The KAT Chief Fire (OSKO red Hotspot) just isn't cutting it.

    I always look for the new transformers on AliExpress, as soon as I saw them I immediately took them and made the report. I have been buying from giftlove for years, a pretty reliable seller (albeit a bit expensive on shipping costs). I am looking for it too, if I find the OSKO Onslaught on AliExpress I will mark it here if you want.

    IF there is one. I have been checking the wholesalers' websites that I found, but nothing that can combine and match these guys so far from the same company.

    A while ago a seller in AliExpress had Onslaughts in blue and yellow that looked just like OSKO, but these jets and tanks hadn't appeared yet so I didn't even get one. I checked after the post here announcing these figures and sadly they were both out of stock.

    Think someone posted it before when I asked. The quality is not great, apparently.

    Anyone knows what these are? Never seen this type of not-Devastator before... Bonecrusher got replaced with a steamroller, there are only 5 members with Mixmaster being the torso, and instead of Hook each one comes with a piece for a giant tower crane!

    It's an original mold by Xin Le Xin under their Magic Classroom brand. They are the same people that made that licensed Plants vs Zombies combiner mech last year.

    Yup, months ago we we're talking about this devastator... has diecast, unique figures, and cheap in cost... combined mode is unstable due to the cab-foot design, but overall worth every penny.

    Here's some size comparisons. :thumb

    Just out of frame, there's mistletoe hanging over them, so it's super awkward.
