Finally found this set! Been looking since before Christmas when pics were posted in this thread. I pretty much gave up and just happened to stumble across one today at Dollar General. I love these molds. Have all the official releases plus a set of oversized KOs. Anyone know of other versions of these guys floating around and where I can get them?

I've got a red version of the "double dragon" bot. Sirtoys used to have quite a few, I believe?

How are they, quality wise? Got any pics of them out of package compared to other Transformers?

Quality is...about what you'd expect, really. Some are better than others (Blight is actually less prone to losing his head than the official versions), but the joints are generally on the loose side and I eventually gave up on getting Windrazor into anything resembling the correct arm mode (I'm convinced the package photos involved the use of glue).

Worth $10, sure. But that's a low bar anymore.

ETA: Here's a picture next to the (somewhat dusty) Target giftset version. It doesn't come with all the weapons, so I couldn't assemble the battleaxe properly. And the joints holding the combined mode together are decently stiff, it's individual robots that have issues.

Thanks! I checked my local Dollar Generals a couple of times around Christmas, but haven't checked in a while. May have to give them another look.

This is my first time hearing about Transform-a-Snacks, but I kind of love the concept. I would have demanded these all the time for my school lunches as a kid. I would rarely have gotten them, but I would have demanded them all the same.
