    I see it as 1:1 direct copy with very minimal changes.
    Missed the Hasbro one coz I can't bring myself getting expensive studio series.
    But when Tak-Tom announced SS-38 2-pack with G1 OP, i finally succumbed. :lol

    Same height as Hasbro Studio Series

    so... it's not oversize.

    There is also a 30cm version it seems out shortly.

    I notice you have a missing paint application on the shoulder. Seems to indicate an assembly error on the shoulder part.

    Speaking of differences - I read somewhere that the new one has a metal piece in the abs is that true ?

    Except they haven't, anything about cancellations of that figure are rumours at best because it's had no updates in a bit. But that's not unusual for 3P

    So, not only do they don't fix the leg problem, they probably made it worse, as they seem to remove the tab that designed to hold the panel, for what it's worth. (KO on the right)

    Looks like I have to wait for the WJ 30cm version.
    I don't see any justification getting this 1:1 KO since I have Tak-Tom version to be released next year.

    So the BMB ended up being 1:1, wasn't it advertised as being OS'd though? Really makes me wonder what their Siege KOs will be like.

    The Siege KOs are actually oversized.

    I'm sorry but unless they are releasing Toyworld's Freedom Leader, I just can't be bothered with more KO stuff.

    Their PRIME is literally The ONLY Bee Movie Prime for me.

    This just looks bad. just my opinion of course.

    This was said to be OS as well, has anyone posted comparisons of the Siege Hound KO yet?

    The siege Hound is 7 inches. Their Prime is over 8.

    No clue why this isn't OS. WJ hooked it up, though.

    Hound is a big boy - about the same size as a Weig Jiang Combiner Wars overscale Knockoff. Optimus is a really peculiar size he's a hair smaller than the Overscale KO of the Classics Voyager Optimus. The only thing that is a bit odd about him being so big is that being that big - some new hands would have been nice to have.

    There is some size comparisons starting to show up on them.

    Damn, I regret not waiting for that 30cm WJ one. Where was the news on that? I follow the KO thread and most others in this section and no one mentioned it until now :( 

    BMB is definitely no WJ when it comes to their non-LS series. They rarely make improvements, scale things all over the place, and in some cases like this, even make it worse than the original.

    Edit: nevermind, I see the info just came out this morning. Can't regret a decision from 3 days ago in that case :D
