These KNOCK OFFS Are Getting Out Of hand! |

Love the little shootout at the end. Just some good fun with toys which i think is lacking in most toy reviews in the modern day.

[@TornaitSuperBird]

Especially since most hobbyists just get figures to display them on a shelf... I like to at least pose my figures and and transform them every once in a while.

it's weird how as humans we're actually really good at a sort of echolocation skill. When you tapped the plastic i could instantly tell how thick and how dense it was. The answer was not thick and not dense at all.

[@Blastertronus]

Tbh, Nerf Gun Transformers sounds like a absolutely brilliant idea from a marketing perspective, like imagine haves nerf blaster that can transform into the likes of Megatron, Shockwave, and Sixshot. Two in one toys!

[@ChrisDogg2k6]

Look up Classics Megatron. His alt mode is just a gaudy nerf gun. Doesn't actually work though, just looks.

I used to love bootleg transformers from my local dollar stores and value outlets. We were broke so they were easier to afford, but another bonus was that since they usually had no names or any lore you could just name them yourself and make up your own stories about them. It was why as a kid I'd go out of my way to get these kinds of toys sometimes.

[@VisoredKuzu]

This is the kind of toy my parents would've bought me and my brothers back in the day and we would play it for months on end cause it accomplishes two things young boys like transforming robots and guns. Pretty fun all in all

[@gamingguru2k6]

I can't imagine having one of those. A sibling who still speaks to you.

[@seant1326]

I think I remember seeing these at Cracker Barrel, with different branding, colors, and even a Combiner of the 5 molds advertised on the box.

[@Ryathom]

I bought these from Dollarama a while back, and they are equal amounts terrible and fun. I love these things. Robot mode isn't the greatest, but the gun mode actually functions and doesn't look half bad. I slammed that like button when I saw that you did a review on these 😂

[@jeremiahsacks2868]

We need this, but like done by Hasbro with the actual transformers team and not the buck fifty store trying to figure out if they should do firearm or deformation so they just make firearm deformation.

[@cutercills9x9productions9]

As someone who loved Weijiang once said, if Hasbro and Takara made good toys, we would not need 3rd party companies. They were here to improve and give us what Hasbro did not have the effort or budget to do. Too bad most are illegal, and even oversized upscales KOs that can be considered original molds (like Weijiang's MPM scales) or 100% originals from ones like UT, AAT, DX9, and more can get designers in legal trouble (I think Toyworld faced a similar fate as Weijiang, or they shut themselves down to avoid similar fates) just for exercising the right to creativity.

[@mitchellbambam5926]

I know this comment is a year late, but I just remembered that I own the purple one of these. It doesn’t pose great, but the transformation is really fun and clever. The only major problem is that the shoulder ball joints are incredibly loose. The gun works pretty well, the instructions are alright, and for $4 CAD it’s not the worst thing. Basically if it just was made of slightly better material, it could be an unironically fantastic toy.

[@Exploringgrowth]

That end bit was hilarious lol.

[@afmmckay303]

I actually bought these for my nephews. They were the ones who wanted these btw.

[@Thatsalotofbots]

Ok so I saw something similar to this at Cracker Barrel once, but it looked a lot better than this, and it was like $15 so it seemed better quality. ( for those who don't know what Cracker Barrel is, it is a American Southern restaurant/shop.)

[@mightyrobot42]

I've got the purple one of these. Yeah, it feels cheap, but that's kind of appropriate considering that it *is* cheap. It's $4 for a large transforming toy that's also a foam dart launcher. I've bought an actual Nerf launcher at Dollarama for the same price and there isn't much of a difference in quality between the two. As a transforming figure it's clearly not on the level of a Generations or Studio Series, but considering that it's less than a tenth of the price one of those of a similar size would have cost that's not a big deal. It does have a pretty good transformation, though, and the robot mode has nearly all the most important points of articulation (shoulders, elbows, hips, knees; all that it's missing is a turning head.)

[@BlitzkriegOmega]

Oh, they sell those at my Cracker Barrel for like $15 a pop. didn't know they were dollar store toys.

[@uainjansun]

I remember Bootleg/KO Hunting in the early 00s.

[@ix-badsport-xix7433]

Hey bro, idk if you’re interested in getting another movie Devastator but Black Mamba made an Oversized version of the Studio Series named “Mechanical Alliance” and I got all 8 for Christmas and they’re absolutely amazing! The die cast, more accurate paint apps (especially on Scavenger and Overload) and Hightower got major improvements along with Rampage and Scrapmetal. Mixmaster looks practically like a Masterpiece, the paint job is like grade 5, you’r Miss take him for a die cast of the cement mixer. Long Haul and Scavenger scale more accurately with the studio series line (you can recreate the Shanghai scene with Demolsihor) and Scrapper has a mace for a hand with chain and feels better quality. I think you should get them! Plus there’s word that an upgrade kit is under way so this is potentially the biggest and best Devastator for the price and quality. I highly recommend you check out ShowZStore or other websites for the first four wave since those were released back in 2020-2021. The second wave of course were released all last year.

Great FPS-like NERF war footage at the end! As for the knockoff robot modes - “Orange” is OK, with it’s posability. They are large robots - I would use them as impromptu “Legislator”-bots. If nothing else, they are respectable NERF guns.

I found one with very similar tooling to the green one at Cracker Barrel a few years ago but for ~$20 (I think that's how much it was), and the quality wasn't half bad. It still sucked a little bit because they used clear plastic for the pieces connecting the legs to the rest of the figure.
