Mine is pretty good but it is stupid hard to fully transform his legs on mine. I think some panels are too big? Someone posted in another thread that the way to fix it is to sand some panels down.

Thanks, was looking for that fix but didn't remember where it was posted.

 

To anyone having trouble with the bottom half this video fixed the problem for me. I was about to sand some panels down but this video stopped me from doing that.
At 10:42 he shows to slide the taillights in first as opposed to trying to tab them in from the top.

The reason I'm posting this here and not the orignal is other people seemed to have the same problem. Just want to post this before brining out the sand paper haha

 

thanks for the tip, you are indeed a good noodle

 

Someone can compare it with tf dream factory Wreckers in bot mode?

 

can i see him next to b-127 studio series? thanks

 

I don't have B-127 but Jazz would be pretty big as he's an MPM.

 

I received one of these from a friend as a gift. Was super bummed out to find the factory installed two right headlights.

Does anyone have a spare left one?

 

Finally got mine. He's a super loose floppy mess. I guess the Ratchet KO elevated my expectations of what to expect from a KO. He looks good at least, I guess.

 

Seems like it was a good idea to stay away from this KO.

 

But, never forget that people are more likely to post a bad review than, a review at all.

Was this a new run? I have the first run and he was super tight. Almost stuck. I have the latest run of their Sideswipe and he's a near floppy mess.

 

Yeah, but if something is actually decent or good, the posts reflect that. And this KO just doesn’t. Even the recent KO dragoon I got while good, the joints are fairly loose and the plastic is very KO-ish.

 

He's very good for those ~40$

 

I'd say he's good for $40, sure. Less so for the $55 I paid at TF Safari. I did buy him for $40 on ebay but it was a scam seller that never shipped and while I got my money back the whole fiasco from order to refund was like two months. Soured me on buying from small time sellers.

 

BMB bumped him up to $55-$60 for most places now so I’m not all that tempted to risk it.

 

Well, I ended with two copies 40$ each (2nd copy was even cheaper, around ~39$ cause it was from Aliexpress and no box option  ) but the 1st copy I mauled a little after getting frustrated with the transformation (my fault  ) so I sold him to a friend and a local collector who didn't care either cause he's displaying him with his ls-08 in (two parts  )
Playing devil's advocate here but I can't really blame BMB they raised the price. I dare to say that they could charge 70-80$ for him and he'd still sell well, he's just so much better looking than mpm-09 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ BMB's formula is to produce cheaply made but fancy looking figures... looking premium but not necessarily feeling that way

 

For the size, when comparing it to other BMB products $80 would definitely be too much, but I definitely agree that the original price of $40 to $50 is an amazing price point even with the issues. A lower quality masterpiece with amazing paint for less than a leader is actually pretty great when you think about it. I wouldn’t even say $60 is too bad either, but I understand those that don’t think it’s worth it

 

I can't quite get the doors to close in all the way on the car. I thought maybe I didn't orient the hands right to get it flush, but it's not working. Any tips?


I just realized the pieces that were rattling around in the box were the rearview mirrors. At the time I thought they were just some leftover sprues. God damnit. This KO is trash.

 

You can super glue the mirrors back on, that is what I did. I had trouble tabbing in the arms and the backside but that was more of me messing up the transformation than anything.

 

The elbow joints on mine are loose af. Any way to tighten it?
