I have ROTF Leader class, I have Jetwing Optimus Prime from TAKARA and the two Strikers Prime the first one DOTM and the second Asia Exclusive. All originals but now I`ve got this one Buster Prime K.O and being honest I can`t see any signal that tells this figure is Fake! It has a pretty good quality and painting.
Ricardo Machado Exactly, KO figures fot he most part in the past were a way to make a quick buck so they were of crappy quality, but there are some KO makers that really take pride in their quality like for example the ones that make these
RocketPunchArmy I am glad this was pointed out since a lot of reviews seem to be bias when talking about KOs - Some are not even copies but upgrades of official figures because improvements are made by the 3er party cos. upon user complaints and in many some are not even mould copies but entire new molds that just look so close to the original
These KO's are pretty good - only drawbacks are that one of the smokestack guns has a loose ball joint, and it keeps falling apart, and the arm swivel joints (non ratchet parts) are pretty loose, as well as the wrist swivel in comparison to the Hasbro/Tommy Takara original. Face mold is also slightly different, specifically the silver cheeks. But from the wasteline down, everything feels good: tight and strong. Overall it's a pretty good alternative to the originals considering the current market prices for the authentic ones. The loose joints can easily be fixed with a little bit of nail polish.
Wow I can't believe how good this looks. I've wanted Buster Prime forever but he's just too expensive for my taste, so I might get one if I can find it.
I bought this in 2015 and still have it. It still looks good in my opinion and will keep it forever despite having better versions of it nowadays. Plus voice and lights action makes it even cooler!
Good review. I'm not into the bayformers style but if I were this would be the one I'd get. If you like this mold are yo I going to get that giant version that Ben's Collectibles was reviewing. Seems like that one would be right up your alley.
i remember owning the original rotf leader class optimus after the movie came out. but i was so young back then that i was not gentle at all and broke one of the feet balljoints and. after that i think some other things happened and we threw it away, which was idiotic but, what can you do, it's in the past.
I know I'm to late, but that's actually Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Optimus Prime, Transformers Dark of the Moon Optimus Prime has a piece of armor underneath his chest. Just wanted to let you know. ;)
I imagine you could request one and they would send you one. You got it like that don't cha? :) Even if you don't I'd love to see your take on some of the oversized figures like the KO trail breaker and Hoist. They got a huge Megatron too. Love the truck mode but still bayformer.
Whats the point of the reveiw if you are not going to show the transformation??? isnt that what we are here to look at. anyways.. the figure is great and you have a good voice for this stuff..
Yes correct. Im not saying Takara Tomy is KO. This example however is a Takara Tomy labeled KO. In other words the KO manufacturer uses the logo unofficially and produces this toy on their own
That's exactly what I understood right from the begining.. reading the title of the post.. do you know where can I get it? and price aprox? txs in advance, by the way, nice vid.
why is takara tomy called a knock off? i thought they make original ones and have a sorta partnership with hashbro? please do correct/inform me about this cause I wanna know more
It's a knock-off of the real Takara Tomy figure. The counterfeiter went as far as to copy the real packaging exactly. There are some KO companies that rename their toys and change the name and packaging, but whoever made this is just trying to sell it off as the real version (even though RPA obviously knew it was a KO when he bought it).
Leonardo Souza it means knockoff which is a "replica" of the original. KO is probably not the best description because originally KO implied inferior quality. Lately the quality is on par with originals so I think there should be a different name.

Id be willing to bet that even if they make 4 more tf movies this mold will still go down as the best movieverse optimus prime.
+LIBERTYorD34TH I agree, I love this thing KO or not and Im not a fan of movie figures
LIBERTYorD34TH you were right. Hasbro or Takara didn't get better
wei jiang KO evasion mode OP is the best one in the market now
@@darockk except price.

I saw this guy on AliExpress, and would be awesome have this mold again, because i have The Battle damage version when i was a kid. Good video man
Good review. I'm not into the bayformers style but if I were this would be the one I'd get. If you like this mold are yo I going to get that giant version that Ben's Collectibles was reviewing. Seems like that one would be right up your alley.
I dont think Ill be getting that big one unless they send me one. I am really surprised at how much I like this mold.

I wish I could tell the difference lol.
you can, the firewall underneath the windshield chest plates is visible for the first 2 movies but in DOTM, it is removed.

Since the grill is the bottom of his feet will it get scratched up

Joshua Chin Thats a good thing isnt it?
I love this buster optimus, but please tell me what makes him KO version cause I don't get it
He's not made by Takara. Its an exact copy of an original
takara tomy isn't ko hasbro does official transformers toys in america, europe and probably other countries takara tomy does official toys in asia
Yes correct. Im not saying Takara Tomy is KO. This example however is a Takara Tomy labeled KO. In other words the KO manufacturer uses the logo unofficially and produces this toy on their own
RocketPunchArmy oh I didn't know that thx
That's exactly what I understood right from the begining.. reading the title of the post.. do you know where can I get it? and price aprox? txs in advance, by the way, nice vid.
What company makes this KO rotf leader class optimus? Thanks

Anyone notice he said from the third Movie at the start of the vid
JSW Li I noticed :)
I don't understand... is this an original product or not... is this made by Takara tomy or not... please somebody explain it to me
Thats the 2nd movie roft
what is KO?
is KO means is unmarked?
or
means fake?
Leonardo Souza it means knockoff which is a "replica" of the original. KO is probably not the best description because originally KO implied inferior quality. Lately the quality is on par with originals so I think there should be a different name.
RocketPunchArmy obrigado pela informação faz muito tempo que tava procurando exatamente essa informação,vou comprar esse modelo pra experimentar
same to same with Ra24 optimus
How do you tell if it’s KO or official product?
Usually the box is a giveaway although the box is well done too. I dont have an original buster to compare to
@@RocketPunchArmy I ordered two buster optimus prime that took 190$ each.
I just wish they are not KO.
