G2 Laser Optimus Prime (Movie Color)

I got this KO for RM25. A decent KO, just that the paintjob on the head could've been much better. The hip joint is too loose, I'm afraid.. Really hard to make it stand still..

RiD Side Burn (Movie Bumblebee Color)

Yup, thats right.. RiD Side Burn/Car Robots Speedbreaker with Movie Bumblebee color scheme.. Got this one for RM11. The paintjob is OK, except for the chrome on the headlights that could come off rather easily. This KO isn't balanced too well due to its skinny feet, so its kinda hard to pose. And one last thing to note is that this KO's original wheels were waaaay too big that made it impossible to transform into vehicle mode (I got it carded in robot mode).. so I had to change them with smaller ones..

Energon Prowl

I got this KO just the next day after I got Inferno. I still have Hotshot, and though many of its parts are gone, it can still combine with Inferno and any other Energon Deluxes so I bought Prowl instead. It looks decent enough, with a rather accurate details as far as I can see. My only complain with this KO is that paintjob chest is poorly done. Its costs the same as Inferno as it also comes from the same batch of KO.

Energon Inferno

This one is actually my second KO Energon Inferno.. Last time I bought it for my then 3 year-old brother so of course, by now most of its parts are missing.. Now, its all for myself :P I really like this KO, probably because it kinda looks like RID Optimus Prime (in which I have a very slim chance of finding its KO). The paintjob is fairly good, only missing the gold paint on its feet/blasters. One other thing that is missing is its 'visor/ears' thingy on its head, so when you transform it, the head is VERY visible.. As usual, I had to 'improvise' it in my own crappy way..>< Costs only RM16.

Energon Bulkhead

I got this KO for half of its original RM21 price. I would never buy it otherwise because it is missing the coolest thing that this particular Transformer should have had: the afterburner/power arm unit.. The paintjob is excellent and without any visible differences from the original version. However, apart from the power arm, this KO is also missing its 'spinning action blade' and clamps on both side of its waist.. So yeah, because of those reasons, I'm not very fond of this KO at all..

Classics Astrotrain

One of my favorite in this little collection of mine, KO Classics Astrotrain. At RM16, its design is so detailed and accurate, that if it wasn't because of the misplaced Decepticon logo and the lack of gold paint below his chest, it'd be quite impossible to tell it apart frm the original one. Only complain I have for this KO is that its left leg is extremely stiff & very hard to bend on the knee joint. Otherwise, a very fine KO..

Cybertron Thundercracker

As I mentioned on the Override post, Cybertron Thundercracker is from the same set of Dy-Toys. This time, the paintjob is really accurate and detailed. However.. the huge missile launcher on his hand is extremely loose.. I had a very hard time trying to place & latch the missile into the launcher..it keeps shooting out by itself ><. Apart from that, one of its landing wheels is missing right out of the box (I guess I just have bad luck).. Photobucket

Jet mode.. Not bad..

Robot mode. Damn hard making the missile to stay put..
