KO Downsized Transformers The Last Knight Voyager Class Optimus Prime

Costs SGD12.16, from Taobao.com. This is supposedly a free (exclude shipping) item for buyers in China who bought the oversized movie Grimlock, but found a few sellers also selling them separately. An almost straight downsized KO of the Transformers The Last Knight Voyager Class Optimus Prime, this thing is fragile, with super small ball joints and pins. Do be careful when transforming it. The materials seem to be very very close to Hasbro's - lightly scratch the surface with your fingernail to feel the slight rubbery feel. Most joints are sufficiently tight too, and some screws can be slightly loosen if feel too tight.  Overall a cute little TF figure.

AoYi 奥意 Sai Star Commander 塞星司令官 a.k.a. KO Transformers Studio Series SS-38 Optimus Prime

Costs SGD19.34... Plastic quality is quite ok, has a bit of the rubbery feel to it, i.e. softer plastic. The physical toy has a slightly duller/darker colour than that seen in the video. Mine is the batch 2+ version, with the hips assembled correctly. The legs are slightly changed, according to some other Chinese reviewers. The leg-shin parts do not tab in properly, but are neither floppy, just that I still feel a bit uncomfortable when handling or transforming the legs. Due to the chest is made of die-cast now, the holes on the body needs to be trimmed a bit to allow the window-chest to be flatter and lesser slant. For the truck bumper, I just cannot make the top piece to be flushed completely with the main bumper. Most joints are tight enough, though some can be better. Overall a good KO...

BPF Commander a.k.a. Oversized KO Transformers Siege Optimus Prime

Costs SGD21.87... The plastic quality is quite ok, and has added die-cast to some parts. Most joints are tight. The major complaint on this KO is that the front wheels are overly tight right out of the box, and many have broken the joints at the first attempt to transform when they pulled the wheels out hard. So for 1st time transform, it is good to push out the wheels from the inside, slowly wriggle the front wheel out while avoiding blocking from the other body parts nearby. Once the wheel can be pulled out, take some time to slowly trim off the parts as seen in the video around 5:26 to 6:22 . I also trim off some other parts for easier transformation. Initially wanted to cut off the protruding top light of the truck mode, but now am thinking maybe not to... Maybe next time... Overall, a good piece of KO...

Mech Fans Toys MFT MF-48 - Ultrl Magenus a.k.a. Transformers G1 Ultra Magnus

Mech Fans Toys MFT MF-48 - Ultrl Magenus a.k.a. Transformers G1 Ultra Magnus City Commander Version 2.0 ... This is the slightly oversized KO of the Magic Square MS-B04 Transporter , a.k.a. Transformers G1 Ultra Magnus. This is a slightly more stylised and slimmer version of Ultra Magnus, comapres to the Papa Toy version. The leg transformation are almost identical, including how the wheels are transformed in robot and vehicle mode... Some changes or improvements made on this version compared to the original Magic Square's include sapce with opening in the body to house in the Matrix of Leadership, ramps at rear of vehicle mode can be folded down, face sculpt different etc...

Mech Fans Toys MFT 45 - Fire Engine a.k.a. Transformers G1 Inferno

Yeap, this is the slightly oversized KO of the Magic Square MS-B02 Fire Extinguisher , a.k.a. Transformers G1 Inferno. Forgotten to include the comparison of the Papa toys version to this KO. But frankly, I prefer this version over the Papa Toys one, as I always felt Papa Toy's version has an overly-fat body, and overly small "helmet wings", and plus the fact I always thought Inferno's head should be fully contained within the ladder-base... MFT does add in / change some details / features, eg. water-spray effects, different head, longer nozzle hand, white circles' paint details etc... the pin to connect the tiny gun-like thing on the "helmet wings" broke, so I have to repair using a small screw... Also shaved off some plastics on the shoulder tips and the other parts of their connection to prevent further stress to the shoulder's ball joint peg...

Mechanic Studio MS-13 MS13 - Detective a.k.a. Transformers G1 Hound

Very chubby face... and short arms... but this is a good figure that represents both the robot and vehicle mode of G1 Hound quite well... There seem to be 2 ways to transform the feet, but I choose to do the one that is different from that shown in the packaging pictures, as I prefer to keep the legs short so as to have a better proportion to the short arms...

New Age ( NA ) Toys : Security - McCoy a.k.a. Transformers G1 Ironhide

A young G1 Ironhide, judging by the face sculpt it has... New Age Toys continues to deliver a very nice transforming G1-ish mini figure, though this time, this Ironhide looks a bit hollow from the side... but since it is a Legends class figure, this is quite forgivable... I used a red permanent marker to paint the exposed metal pin ends to let them blend in better with the red plastic... did not work that well but I guess that will have to do...
