    It's MF Hercules, a KO of dx9 hulkie worth buying


    I bought my "Red Comet" powerglide from that place for $4, he was worth it, and i have megatron on the way, no worries.

    How did you pull off Exhaust?

    I got my hands on the best set of decals i could find (and I'm pretty happy with the results)- but you've managed to go a step further here. I can actually see the intake vents under the Lancia emblem here.

    Very nice!

    My Megatron will be here any day between March 24th and April 27th >.> Though at $4 shipped, I'm not suprised.

    I noticed when I was researching Lancias that the deco that Slicer has is actually another legit Lancia deco - so I do wonder what the sponsor logo set up would look like on a slicer repaint of Wheeljack. There seems to have been an orange deco as well as red and several others when I looked around.

    I wonder why the KO makers didn't think to release repaints yet ? Like a Black Ironhide & greenish yellow Ratchet for example.
    The gold Lambor was plenty nice enough - they could also easily have made a normal Blue or plain non-G2 Black one too or even the other Sideswipe deco of Blue & Yellow. That would even be without taking the RID Sideswipe decos on board for influence either. Artic Sideswipe deco on the G1 mould would sure be interesting.

    Also why No Clampdown KO yet ? I guess if you were feeling enthusiastic you could make your own Deep Cover out of various parts.

    Here's some more misc OS KOs that I wasn't as interested in. All around £10 each and bigger than voyager. I guess the 'interchange robots' in the third picture are more Power Ranger than TF butI wasn't 100% sure

    @Convoy

    Great finds in packages. The Hercules is pretty good, but it lacks ankle tilts in combined mode. Nice to see the packages these come in, and starscream being called dong man, :lol 

    He wishes.

    That's a pretty well known Devvy, especially in this thread. I believe there are numerous sellers currently dumping their stock at $30 a pop.

    I wouldn't mind seeing a bit more detail on those guys. The tank looks sort of decent, based on the pictures.

    I've never seen the packaging before so I wasn't sure if it was different to the KOs I see on eBay/in the thread. By 'info' I meant if anyone had any info/experience of the quality.

    Didn't realise it was selling for so cheap though.

    These are the ones I was most interested in too. I might go back and pick them up as desk bots. If i do I'll be sure to post better pictures from my digital camera as apposed to the phone pics I've been uploading here

    are there any KOs of TFA megatron? I would love a voyager/ultra size version of the leader or activator if there were any.
