    Here he is all combined. I'm calling him Thunderking.
    Hope you guys like it cus it sure was a lot of work! PHEW!

    It needs to be said that buying a set of these is a bit of a gamble. After hearing about people having 2 left Slag horns and other sloppy mistakes like that, I wasn't surprised to find that mine had 2 left Swoop wings, one assembled all wrong, and a few combiner parts like the left wrist and foot connections that would not have fit for combining at all if I hadnt reshaped them.
    I made several little fixes and this set came out fine in the end, but if you set out to buy a set keep in mind that you may have to do some work beyond just repainting, or your set may not combine or individual robots will have goofy looking flaws.
    Though the plastic quality seems good and everything was sturdy, these mistakes make it a gamble, like any KO toy set.

    That really did come together - literally! :D 

    If you don't get a nice chunk of change for this when you sell it, I'll be greatly disappointed!

    This turned out beautiful. They are well matched in colors and theme. The battle worn metal look is appropriate and wonderfully done. Great job!

    This is fantastic! Makes me want to get a set of them myself (and I probably would if I wasn't already 4/5 of the way through my custom Dinobot team made from other things).

    Hah I had to use ever minute of free time to do these with 3 kids and a family life in general. Responsibilities and all that good stuff mean I got very little sleep for the week I did these.

    Hands came with it. I didn't create the figures or make them combine. Just did some mods to fix factory mistake parts and get flat surfaces to add the autobot insignias then painted it.

    Thanks!!

    I just added several outside shots that show off a little poseability.
