Well the KO figures are about 3/4 the size of the orginals too. I did get the head to snap in over Silverbolts head without too much trouble. I sat on the bed the other night opened the box, and layed it all out. I guess not too expect too much for $8 but this thing is crap. I compaired them to my G1's and their nowhere near as good or quality. I just thought it would be a fun little toy too pass on, but I think this will make it into the trash....

FlatoutBu' - yeah they are crap to actually transform or mess with. But, I actually thought mine was alright when I kept it in gestalt mode. He looked kinda bad ass. But, once you start messing with him he starts falling apart quicker than a Universe Galvatron figure.

I finally track down some mint conditioned GAMEBOTS! These bots are really cool and they actually function! I think either Ramjet or Rumble had some of these too!

***Also bid and won this awesome custom repaint Transmetal BW Grimlock! It's also signed by the voice actor David Kaye!

Picked up ROTF Sideswipe and Knock Out at my Wal-mart today.

Sideswipe is friggin awesome. My only beef is he can't stay standing

Knock Out's pretty cool for a motorcycle bot. mine had some green gunk(looks like dried paint) on the front tires. and he's some what stiff.

That figure is just fantastic!

A great find SP!

Can you tell if the head is remolded from Megatron's or a replacement from an existing figure?

It's an actual G1 Grimlock head that is used for this figure! Somewhere there's a decapitated Grimlock body!

I'm actually more stoked about the game bots. I have the pinball one, but I'm still looking for more of the other convertors.

Rumble · Post by **Rumble** » Mon Jun 01, 2009 3:08 pm

Nice haul SP, and your right I do have a slot machine one but it looks a bit different (Mainly the eyes). Does yours have 'select' stamped on its backside?

Rumble.

SentinelPrime · Post by **SentinelPrime** » Mon Jun 01, 2009 6:28 pm

No Rumble...it just has the stamp "Taiwan."

Rumble · Post by **Rumble** » Tue Jun 02, 2009 4:05 pm

Thanks for the info SP, was just curious as I have read those guys have been produced by a number of brands through out their little lives, but I have never seen the 'gamebots' packaging.

Rumble.

Captured these Movie 2009 Figures! Any one tell me how the heck Rampage is suppose to stand on his poor excuse for feet? I had to lean him in robot mode up against the kleenex box, cause he's top heavy! He's a sturdy piece...just poor feet choice! I followed the tranformation instructions! Demolisher is AWESOME!

**Love this WWI Ransack figure!!!

I just picked up Astrotrain, Bombshell, Twin Twist (all boxes),a couple of Stunticons and Top Spin. I've come to the realization this website is like heroin.

On another note, I was looking at BBTS earlier because I wanted to see if he had any movie toys in, and was browsing his g1's, how does Matt not put him out of business? He is so overpriced compared to TFL, it's not funny. Example, a complete combiner over there will run you 200+ (i saw a $300 one for Menasor). Over here, at least $50 bucks cheaper, plus you can haggle. Thank god i stumbled onto this site. I will never look back.

Basically? Because that's not BBTS' business. BBTS makes its money off of tons of esoteric niche markets. The g1 stuff is probably random acquisitions that they don't really care if they sell one way or another.

Yeah I only go there for new shizzle. Occasionally they're good for sales too; earlier in may I got Unviverse powerglide for 11 bucks. Then they announced the red repaint at botcon and it was too late to cancel lol.

Banzai-Tron · Post by **Banzai-Tron** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 12:32 am

I'm ticked that I loaded a bunch of Clearance Quintessons into my cart, and forgot about them

. Now they're out of stock, except the Executioner. Aaaargh!

Overlord · Post by **Overlord** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 1:33 am

Haha. Yeah I also ordered two of them along with my soon-to-be-sold powerglide. They were a steal at 19.99. I wanted to pick up the prosecutor but like you i forgot about it. oh well.
