Side-Tracked: Recent Haul of KOs and Such (154) - KO G1 Kabaya Starscream, Junkion Blacksmith JB-07 Power of Destruction, Bootleg G1 Terrorcons, Bootleg G1 Technobots

Haul from Taobao.com came yesterday!


KO G1 Kabaya Starscream
Wow, finally found a cheap KO G1 Kabaya Starscream kit, nice... hope the colours don't come out too weird...Cost approx. $10.25...




Junkion Blacksmith JB-07 Power of Destruction
Add-on to my 2nd set of cheap KO Devastator! Hope the joints are ok... Cost approx. $30.30... Strangely the poster was wrapped outside the box, not inside... Wonder if this is the norm...



Bootleg G1 Terrorcons
Finally gave in the temptation and bought this set and also their rival, Technobots (bootleg version, of course)! Was a bit hesitant to buy at first, as many, if not all, sellers in Taobao.com sell this set loose without box, but in the end still bought a set... Plastic spruces are not cut off cleanly, but no worries, will do that personally... Have not really transform them yet, so not sure of their quality... Cost $73.85... Happy....




Bootleg G1 Technobots
Yes!!!! With this, I will (sort of) complete the G1 (US version) Scramble-City style gestalts... This set costs $110.25...

Remake - G1 themed Wildrider

Trying to replace my KO Menasor with proper... eh... car-limbs... so will be repainting a spare KO Breakdown into Dead End (to do after buying a maroon color paint pen), and "convert" the KO Lightspeed into a Wildrider...

In progress picture... Some parts are filed down to allow more space so that parts will not rub against each other and scrape off the paint when transforming...


Comparison picture to show the vehicle modes...


Transform! Comparison picture to show the robot modes... Opps, used an old picture that still has yellow headlamps, have since painted them to grey (see car mode picture above)...
