Side-Tracked: Recent Haul of non-KO (19)

Cybertron Dirtboss (aka Inch Up)
Bought this today after work... In the past, I used to think that this is a bootleg TF, then once upon closer inspection, realised this is the Takara version... the price of this Takara version deluxe Dirtboss cost only $16.90... Cheap for a legitimate TF! Box is not too torn, despite it being on the shelf which is placed outside the shop everyday...


The back of the box, some bend lines showing, but who cares...


Contents of the TF box... There is even a booklet to introduce the different toys... typical of Japan TFs...


Close-up of the actual TF... monster truck mode...


Bot mode.. according to website, the Hasbro version has the neck piece green plastic, so this Takara version is slightly better, as it is purple plastic... but frankly speaking, the plastic used feels more brittle than the past plastics I felt in real TFs... a bit KO-ish feeling...


...comparison with the KO Kabaya-style "Legends" Dirtboss... sidetracked a bit, just repair the Legends version today... sigh, took so long time...


... truck mode...


Overall is a good catch... So now I got to get a Deluxe and Scouts TF to complete my obsession of balancing the 2 factions... hahaha....
