孩之星 Cool Become Brave KO Downsized Transformers Combiner Wars Devastator ( Constructicons )

Finally gotten this super nice gestalt! Constructicons!!! This size is just nice to go with the Combiner Wars Bruticus ( KO version ) that I have, which also happens to be from the same company that made this downsized Devastator. Plastic seemed to be the close to the "shampoo bottle" type, as superglue does not adhere well to it, and it feels very "oily". Nevertheless, this type of plastic will be the more durable type, so am not complaining. Overall joints are reasonably tight, some overly tight, and only a couple are loose. As with all KOs, some tightening of the joints with superglue, touching up of peg-holes, swapping of wrongly assembled parts, etc etc has to be done. Wanted to paint the wheel rims to silver but feel that this could make the overall cartoonish look go away... Anyway, am likely to put some Decepticon logos onto it... First up are Scrapper and Mixmaster, the legs...

Next 2 of the Constructicons... Scavenger and Bonecrusher, the arms..

Final 2 of the Constructicons... Hook and Long Haul, the torso(s)...

" Constructicons , transform! Phase 1!" "Now, transform! Phase 2!!" "Prepare to meet your doom, nothing can withstand the might of... Devastator !!! " ... In gestalt mode, this Devastator is slightly taller than my KO CW Bruticus which has the KO PE add-on feet and hands. In 1 way it is right, as this combiner is made of 6 robots, while Bruticus is made up of only 5. It is quite interesting to see how some collectors talked about this Devastator is still quite big and will be perfect if shorter a little bit, something like that... For me, even in the real world no man are same in height, so why force our (toy) transformers to be exactly same in height? Anyway, everyone has their own perspective, that I can understand... No matter, this is a very very good TF, but because it is shrunk down, the pegs, pins, etc become very small, hence have to be careful when transforming it. Overall, a very good companion to the Combiner Wars gestalts' display...

MFT Mechanic Studio Mech Soul MS-11 Mini Sentry a.k.a. G1 Transformers Omega Supreme

Cute little fella!!!! Wanted a small sized Omega Supreme figure, but did not expect to be able to get one so small... very good modification of the Diaclone Armor Suit to become Omega Supreme... Personally will prefer a 3-claw arm, but this is still acceptable. Overall, a very nice figure.

Toy World TW-GS02 Whisky Jack 千斤顶 a.k.a. G1 Autobot Transformers Wheeljack

A tiny transforming figure that costs SGD26++ ( or is it SGD28++ ?? )... But still slightly taller than NA Jazz in robot mode... Have to tighten 1 of the "wing" joint as it was very loose upon unboxing... also have to scrape off some of the plastic in the missile's hole for the rifle as the rifle handle seemed to be too thick with the paint... This figure is really impressive with the super detailed paint-job that seem to be replicating the Masterpiece version... in fact it looks like a mini Masterpiece Wheeljack... The head sculpt is also very reminiscence of the G1 cartoon version... Upper and lower arm proportion may seem a bit off but at this small scale-size it does not look that bad... This TW Wheeljack looks so much "wheeljack" than my Generations Wheeljack, with the less-exposed wheels and more accurate "wings" in robot mode...

NewAge Toys NA - Special Operations Saboteur : Manero a.k.a. G1 Autobot Transformers Jazz

A tiny transforming figure that costs SGD26++ ( or is it SGD28++ ?? )... But it is a very very nice interpretation of G1 Jazz, which I think my Reveal The Shield - Jazz has been doing that job in my TF collection... But while RTS Jazz is a very nice figure, it is more identical to the G1 toy version, with the exposed doors in robot mode, while this NA Jazz manages to resemble the G1 cartoon version closer without exposed doors in robot mode... Joints are sufficiently tight but I felt the leg ones may be slightly towards the loose side... so far no extra tightening of joints made yet... material used is also very good, which I felt ball joints should not wear out fast... Leg transformation is absolutely creative and intricate, especially at this scale-size... I put on the Autobot insignia for fun... The 2 loudspeakers will be kept in ziplock bags for a long long time as I don't really like them in either car or robot mode...

Mech Fans Toys MFT (?) Vecma Studio - HeadWarrior VS-02 Wolfman Wolf Warriors

... a.k.a. Transformers G1 Decepticons Headmasters Weirdwolf... Think cost approximately SGD23+... Plastic used seemed to be slightly better than the VS-01 Cool One ChivalRouser ( Chromedome )... It seemd they made changes to the tail-sword so that it will not fit in in the top of the wolf buttocks but now is straight into the... sigh, weird Chinese KO-manufacturer... anyway, transformation is quite smooth with the sufficiently tight joints for most joints... Fun little headmaster.... Figure does not come with Decepticon insignia...

Update : JinBao 金宝 D.F04 Optimum Warrior a.k.a. OS KO DX9 Dutch ( Transformers G1 Optimus Prime )

Forgotten to compare the KO DX9 with the KBB KO GT in vehicle mode... also show here the little Roller which can tow the trailer...

JinBao 金宝 D.F04 Optimum Warrior a.k.a. Oversized KO DX9 Dutch ( Transformers G1 Optimus Prime )

To be frank, I just wanted to have the main figure... just like the Hot Soldier version, which I would have bought it long ago if not for the high price that one has to pay with the addition of the trailer... This is still not too bad as the price is quite low... Toy is made of a slightly softer plastic which I think is much better in terms of handling-feel (gives a smooth transformation flow)... This type of plastic also feel the ball joints may be less prone to wearing out, compared to the rigid hard type... As with most KOs, some trimming and tightening of joints ( actually those joints are not very loose, just that I want to have the joints tighter...And these are just a bit only... Overall, very happy to have gotten this figure...
