USKO Legacy Skorponok.

 

[unluckiness]

That one's a different mold designed to do exactly the same things as ER Scorponok but 3-4 inches smaller. Sculpting's different, he has clear blue plastic for some of the blue details, he has two pairs of shoulder guns that are also articulated, the scorpion legs are separate pieces and he comes with Fastrack, his gun, different blast effects and the clear face shield thing.

Actually preordered the thing. Their Metroplex was great, smaller size is a pro for me and not having to spend more money for add-on kits on top of being significantly cheaper is a huge selling point.

These type of knockoffs are great. Robot of the Car is my new favorite toyline.

If only for the trailer. That's why I got a KO G1 Optimus, to use the trailer with the SS89/Earthrise OP.

 

[Gizmoboy]

I do really dig that trailer.

I asked ShowZ if they're going to carry the Dinobots, but they said they can't. They're looking into Dropkick.

(Edit: - See the bottom of Dropkick post above for ShowZ link)

KO ROTB Bumblebee.

 

[Gizmoboy]

I dig that Bumblebee

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

(There are a number of, IMO, errors in the uploader's views on what KOs are, etc but it's still interesting).

(This is from around 1985, not "1935" as the YouTuber stated in the video above).

Here's a discussion about the ad above at Reddit.

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

(OS?)KO Deluxe TF: One Optimus Prime.
Bot mode's height is 19cm.
Vehicle mode's length is 15cm.

(Edit: - ShowZ stated that they won't be selling this item as "The retail price is over 20 RMB, but the shipping cost is estimated to be several times higher, likely costing more than the product itself.")

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

KO Diaclone Battle Convoy incoming!

It's rumoured to be around $100 and might be released around January 2025.

You can pre-order it at ShowZ here.

Edit: - It seems that the price might be $130, which might be great value in the US, but in Japan, that's closer to £200 equivalently.

I might not be able to afford this, even at KO prices...

 

[Gizmoboy]

Damn, that looks nice.

 

[Donocropolis]

If the quality is decent, I may be up for that. Those things are waaay outside of my comfortable spending limit, but a $100 version may be doable.
