Repaint - Solarstorm (a.k.a. KO Classics Jetfire) => Solar Prime

Took a couple of days to repaint my KO Classics Jetfire, which the TaoBao seller wrongly deliver a white instead of orange. Initially thought will just repaint without taking out the parts, but realise it will be VERY ugly... so... Below shows the comparison. More about the KO later...


Very nice piece of KO. Although lesser quality plastics used, it is actually better to form the combination without causing so much strain on the Classics Optimus Prime's joints. Only very minor simplifications without any loss of function as compared to the authentic one... Oh, except for the loss of the helmet feature... Basic jet mode below...


Armoured Jet mode... Cannon flipping is manual...


Robot mode... With the lighter plastics, this figure is not as back-heavy as the authentic one... Other than the elbow swivel and knee swivel joints, most of the joints are quite tight, which is quite a surprise for a KO! Amazing... Made the (blue) antennas to be able to slide out for clearance when transforming to jet mode...




So how does he look when combining with my KO Henkei Optimus Prime??? Well...


Ready to combine!!!!


...phase 1! (hahahaha....) ...combine to form...


... Solar Prime !!!!!


Actually he looks funny from the side view, the head is too far forward! Hahahaha...


Awesome combination... Though be warned, KO + Authentic will result in a loose combination; KO + KO might be even a looser one, thus must tighten joints...
