    Hopefully they improve the quality of the joints over the Flame Toys originals.

    Only the Tarn from the Kuro Kara Kuri line has had anything close to acceptable tolerances for the price they charge. I kept him, got rid of Star Saber and Prime.

    Ugh...somehow this one gets to make more of Flametoys KOs but that one transformable one gets the flak :(  Does anyone know what happened to Cyber Factory?

    I can see a SG recolor happening but would it be wishful thinking for them to do a Nemesis or even Ultra Magnus recolor?

    Star Saber/Victory Leo need extra time on account of them needing to fix FT's fuckups. ;)

    Looks like this is finally up for pre-order with an expected release date of November.
    [Pre-Order] Metal Club MuscleBear 04 Optimus Prime Improved Version

    I passed on their Tarn as I already have the original and it wasn't worth the hassle of packing and putting it up for sale. I'm getting this one though even though I have the original because of the giant freakin axe that I missed out on just because I didn't want to pay the exorbitant shipping prices directly from d4 toys or whatever. I'm interested in the blurb saying it has "upgraded paint of Moshow Takeda Shingen", as I already love the paint on the original. I have Moshow Takeda and it's incredible, but I'm not sure if the paint is really an upgrade compared to 3K Optimus.

    Either way, with these great quality KOs coming out and the fact that I find Flametoys 3K overpriced for what you get (after buying too many Moshow Progenitor Effect and CCS licensed figures), I don't think I'll buy any more 3K figures. Still bummed I missed out on the Megatron sniper rifle case just because I ordered it domestically.

    Yeah that's extremely tempting. After breaking my "no non-transforming bots" rule with BF Red Shooter, I'm going to preorder that now and see how I feel in a couple months

    so he is having matte paint now instead of glossy red on the original, noice.
    I too have the original Optimus, with his giant axe :D . But I am still getting this one, maybe they can give us some more re-paint out of this mold. I am ready to buy them all since I only has to pay ~120USD shipped

    Man don't know how I feel about this since I have the Flame Toys.
    Kinda pissed that Flame Toys charges so much only to have it KO'd.

    I probably pick one of these KO's up because the cost is not even half the price of Flame Toys, but I am having my reservations about supporting Flame Toys again in the future if their pricey items only end up being KO'd.
    Instead of KO Optimus and Tarn give me KO DRIFT!

    It's even more frustrating that they make such a big fuss about the Cyberfactory's Prime that's based off their design (it's basically dead now), but yet none when it comes to both actual KO's.

    As long as a KO Megatron happens before they get off their ass to do something about it I don't care what they do. That's the one of these that I really care about.

    My post was more of a wish for Cyberfactory to return to that transforming Prime and ignore Flametoys' threat because clearly they're too busy pumping all kinds of announcements with a very slow product output rate.
