Kyle's KO Korner

Was it the Quick Change 4-packs? DON'T buy those! I just got suckered into them again today. I bought the Dino ones and some of the guys don't have arms and are molded so some parts don't move like they should and won't transform. I fell for the insects last year.

yeah i picked them up for my son a few years ago figured he could break those lmao and he did lmao

So, I ain't spending $50 for a legends Devastator, so I took a chance on this one from China. I'm calling the quality awesome. I don't have any Hasblows to compare it to, but from pix I've seen it looks identical. Nice stiff joints, decent plastic, and he holds together really solidly. On a side note, the Chinese instructions are way more detailed and easier to understand than US instructions. I paid $13 shipped for mine, took about 2 weeks. Here the linky:

my TRU has the G1 colored version for $30.

That ain't bad, only like $4 a guy. I only see them on eGay. The Wallies here have the green ones, but they cost like $40, I think.

lol i got to try to either do an online order for the toys r us one or hit this link up lmao

if you want B, I can get you the Green Dev. PM me and let me know

Since there's been some talk of them recently and I've just finally finished my collection of these, I present to you in all their craptacular glory: Select's Convertors Avarians and Insectors. The quality on these are crappy. You have to be really careful when you transform them. Some parts are super loose, some super tight. I'm really surprised they managed to survive 26 years.

INSECTORS left to right- Tenticus, Morphus, Crawler, Scorpio, and Creeper.





AVARIANS left to right: Feathers, Calypso, Rex, Robat and Hoot.





Here are some new KO's I picked up last year. I can't believe these molds are still around! I don't think Hoot was made. The quality on these are crappier, as the plastic is just a little lower quality. No chrome, and less paint apps.

I used to have Hoot when I was a minicon. Since I didn't have very many Original TF's I pretended Hoot was a Predacon LOL.

Here's a couple quick pix of this crappy Shrapnel KO a got from a really good friend. Love the color scheme, and the damn stickers are mostly still there!





These guys are Esso Robot Racers. I think they were only available at
Esso gas stations. Only in the UK maybe? I've never seen an Esso
station. I got these from Canada. I've seen the Volkswagen all the time
when I first started collecting, but just never ended up with one. This
seller had all 4, in awesome shape! Quality is good, but a couple of the molds are goofy, as seen in the side profile pix. These have pull-back motors, and Surf-Finder and Mighty Man will roll in robot mode.







These are the other 4. All have the same basic frame. These have friction motors, so when you push them, they will keep rolling.



They look orange in this pic, but they're red.





I actually had a couple of these already from a UK buddy, then the Canada seller had all 4 so I scooped them up, and discovered this when I compared them to the 2 I had:





Reverse color variation! The search continues, need the 3 other yellow ones. I do have an extra red cement truck (Dromo) if anyone's interested.

you buy just about ANYTHING! LOL
even a KO of a KO!

keep it up bro!

A long time ago I saw a little Arby's turtle on STA and wanted one. Finally after years I got one, then discovered they were called Junglezoids and there were 4 of them. Got another one off a guy, then finally won an eGay auction for all four. Turtle's my favorite, the bear kinda sucks, and the gorilla is just so stupid-how could you not love him? I'm gonna call the quality just Good because the joints get really loose (after about 20 years).





When I first saw the turtle, I fingered they were about an inch and a half tall. They're a lot bigger than you think.



Dammit! Get the hose......

For 20 years those critters were only subjet to 'innocent' play, you have them for 20 seconds and corrupt them....

I salute you!

lmfao good one rumble

somebody has been thinking like i do

I just got these 2 guys-Kellogg's robots, I'm pretty sure. See page 1 of this thread for more cereal robots.

Those are pretty damn cool!

Holy shit! Looking through my Photobuckt for pix for Rumble, I discovered I had taken pix of additional KO lines and never posted them! Lucky you. :roll: Here we have some Remco Zybots. Quality ranges from good to crappy. Some of these came in a big set that had kind of a frame thing so they formed a big robot. Google it.

those are really cool

I still need a few more, and someday I'd like to have the thing to combine them. I couldn't find a loose pic, but here's a link to the box.

I have one of those 'wonderful' fire engines, as well as one of those 'wonderful' black trucks (no trailer tho). The combo figure looks so awful that I must simply have one eventually.

Well, I'll be go to hell. I never posted my Moto Bots! EVERYONE had (or has) at least one. I think they still make some of these molds. Released under various names and brands, these are good robots.

So I finally got the last (red) KO Night Ranger and was proud so I took some pix, and then decided to take pix of all my differently-colored GoBot KO's



This mold is just horrible. Ugly-ass robot mode, the bike's not too bad. I just wanted red white and blue versions. The original is pretty fragile, too which is not good news for the KO's.



Block-Head and Dive Dive KO's I like a lot.



I think there's black and blue bodied Waterwalk KO's that I need. The yellow one came with one of those Quick Change bootleg combiners, but I got this one from Catgut I think. Was he ever a member here? I tried not to include KO's that looked the same as the originals, but the Leader-1 (center) is a really good copy.



Here's a couple of examples of the KO being better than the original, to me at least. I always liked the KO Spoons better, and Cop-Turd I just love. I remember exactly where I was when I got mine as a kid. There's only a couple other toys I can do that with. Plus, he came with a KO Voltron sword, how can you not love that? The Man-O-War is crap, and came with the sets like the yellow Waterwalk above. He's pictured with the US and UK original versions.



This Spay-C looks the same, but instead of having the tailfin attached, it comes out and becomes an ax! Too bad I lost it.



Anyone got more GoBot KO's? I'd love to see them.

I used to have the red Nightranger when I was a minicon.

Nice, I love seeing the KOs that you post up. I don't think I have any KO gobots.... But then again I have so much crap that I could well be wrong.

What did the axe look like for that Spay-C? Same as the normal tail fin with a handle?
