    I just got BPF Commander and Overlord today.

    I got Commander to use as a base for my take on that custom G2 Optimus Prime by electronicosmosis.
    Overlord is basically just to go along with him.

    I also have BPF Lieutenant on order to use as the basis for a custom Delta Magnus.
    Once I found out that this KO actually fixes the stupid angled feet, it was a must buy.

    Man these are fantastic.
    I really wish they would scale up the ER versions of them, too.

    What eBay seller did you use. I have not found that many on eBay. What search words did you use?

    My memory is fuzzy.

    Did we ever get Masterpiece KO versions of Bumblebee 2.0 and Skids?

    There was a KO of MP-45 Bumblebee. But some have suggested it was actually factory rejects. I have always questioned if Takara would really sell off rejects as opposed to destroying them. But who knows.

    4th Party Masterpiece MP-45 Bumblebee 2.0 w/ Box

    I always assumed that 'factory rejects' were figures that didn't pass QC and were supposed to be destroyed, but instead were spirited away by factory employees (or bought up in bulk through some backroom deal that didn't involve Hasbro or Takara)

    It's funny... the KO MP line is usually pretty consistent, especially with car-bots. We haven't missed very many characters over the years. It feels strange there's been no Skids released by now.

    Believe it or not, but those dinobots aren't actually 1:1 copies, or at least the set I used to have wasn't. The official Swoop's beast head is held in place by friction pegs while the BPF one used a pin through the dino jaw. Not important info, just something I found interesting when I had the set :) 


    Does anyone know if there any decent KOs of Legends scale combiners? I've got a KO of DX9 Herc but I'd kinda like to add to my con ranks a little more since they're somewhat lacking compared to my Legends scale Autobots.
