    Not always, since they are long gone, they pop up from time to time, different names.

    Some sellers, get old stock to sell, but you gotta be looking at their store listings. The store selling the Thunderclash had one blue Mazda for sale

    13.44€ 16% de DESCUENTO|TOMY figuras de acción Transformers, juguete de deformación de aleación, King Kong G1, coche de policía, Thunderbolt azul, modelo de coche de Metal|Transformador/Robot| - AliExpress
    (One the worse quality ive got, and i have lots of BT KOs since the start... brittle plastic on some pieces among others)

    Its easier to search for them in ebay to be honest

    So do you reckon the way it was bubble wrapped actually caused the brown plastic to break?

    Oh, the Amogus Bots have a replica KO! I was afraid this is another Polyfect-esque simplified mold. Like my Sixliner with 4 non-transforming trains.
    Notice the combinations diagram. It is broken!

    Yep, too tight and crushed during transit. Plastic is too brittle, just like GPS. After transformation, the same launcher crumbled to pieces, the other is holding out just fine, but is the same plastic anyway

    I wonder if the launcher on one side was just exposed to more light in-package than the one on the other side, and if that contributed to the asymmetrical brittleness.

    Nah, the other side feels brittle, but the piece wasnt stuck so allows minor movement with extra care

    I have seen one in different colors, but I am unsure a KO of what it is.

    Reminds me a bit of TFC Rhadamanthus in the chest.

    That’s what it was reminding me of. Was nagging me because it was so familiar but I couldn’t place it.

    Could be an undersized KO of the oversized Rhamadanthus.

    Well, seen how it seems like I'll never get a Netflix Soundwave are there any 3rd party options for a nice cartoon style one that would scale ok with WFC stuff? I have MP and hoping to get the new core one when I find him but I just don't have anything in between... literally G1 is about as close as I could use I think lol.
