Surprisingly, this piece is made of the non-superglue-able plastic... got to use the Selleys Plastic Glue.. and the joints are weird, extremely difficult to get them to be tight, because they are indeed, flexible... sigh... anyway, tried my best... but still in the end it couldn't stand. Realised because the feet is loose.. so put in a plastic pin (can see the yellow one, left in pic below?) and drill a small hole to fit in.. finally can stand...
KO Speed Dial (TFTM - Real Gears)
The colour scheme is not really Speed Dial, can't remember which one... anyway, this KO has no face cover, so face is revealed in phone mode... so made a face cover at the back instead... at least now face cannot be seen... easily...
Oversize Legend (TFTM) Optimus Prime
Pic below shows the raw KO form... oversize legends figures... quite nice...
Vehicle mode - Repainted the smokestack silver, touch up the rest of silver parts (tyre rims too) ... added blue windows (finally, my light blue paint got its use), and touch up very loose parts...
Robot mode - painted the head too... also the chest to red (had factory-painted silver initially), ad blue window chests. now looks good...
Oversize Legend (TFTM) Brawl
I call it... Tankor... hahaha... the KO cannot swing the big tank barrel down completely in bot mode, so cut & remove the small piece (whose position should be originally nearer to the gun barrel to "obstruct" it from coming down completely) to join it at the position seen in picture now... you may need to join 1 end first, then if got gap, stuff some tissue and super-glue (use a toothpick's sharp end to do)...
Now the barrel can go down completely (did not push the barrel down completely in pic; yeap, can do that)... Painted the face too...
KO Shattered Glass Goldbug
Saw from some forum about this KO whose colour is very near to the Shattered Glass Goldbug, whose mold is also the Deluxe (Voyager?) version of Cybertron Hotshot... So repainted this piece... very tough, because my yellow paint pen is not working well, and the plastic is quite oily... finally done in the end.. not exactly like the Botcon one, but 85% similar... ( see http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:ShatteredGlasstoy-Goldbug.jpg)...
... change the blue head to black instead, felt more appropriate, since now am not adding blue to the colour scheme... did not remold the head, felt this is good enough (deliberately paint the eyes BIG, like the Botcon one) ... left the wheels yellow, like the striking colours... painted the legs, chest and hip close to the Botcon one... and left the arms as they are...
... close-up view of the head... very angry face...
Edit: Added a mouth-cover to make it look more like the real SG Goldbug...
... and the whole figure looks more like the Botcon one... not really... hahaha...
Oh, before I forget, I finally open up and combine the KO Legends ROTF Devastator... plastic & QC quality is not as good... but hey, for $35, what can you ask for? (CSC is selling the Hasbro set today at $55, cash... tempting, would have buy if hadn't gotten the KO set... )
Edit: Pic of KO Legends ROFT Devastator combined...
