Transformers G1 KO Wheeljack Review

[gogeta671]

wow this is crappy

[primerodimus1]

I have a KO Wheeljack and an original one. The original one has the same issues as the KO.

[TFbros54]

Are his "wings" attached?

[vh2k]

He looked brilliant until you tried to stand him up, haha

[smoceskreen]

are all reissues KO's (KO to me means "fake" but correct me if im wrong)? how can we tell if its a real Hasbro/ Takara reissue or just a KO?

[vh2k]

@smoceskreen Well you won't find Wheeljack as a reissue, only original or knock off....

Who needed a Sunstreaker? w w w . TransformersEmporium . com

All these cnina reissues have their problems ..too many to be worthy of the price I get them for at ioffer.comDONT BUY THEM OFF EBAY as the prices are stupid high for them and don`t buy them from a seller on ioffer that has no feedback,I got burned twice doing that.

[nosheeatzoo]

Here is my opinion on the reissues I have so far:

wheeljack is shit ,mirage is good but has painted on stripes and number plate on his nose in car form which sucks as the original is all stickers.Besides that mirage is good.

Reflector is really good if you can get one with good even chrome on his legs.

Sunstreaker is pretty good but has alignment issues of his cockpit.

Getting a grimlock soon but they misspelled dinobot commander on the box,its says bommander.

[primerodimus1]

@nosheeatzoo Actually, I prefer details to be painted. I HATE decals. They're such a pain in the ass and they can wear out over time even if you don't transform the figure.

[nosheeatzoo]

I just got my wheeljack KO and its crap too,mostley the paint looks like a 9 year old painted it ...really bad around the windows and the front fenders...

[mjcrow36]

I got the Mirage and the Wheeljack. Mirage's quality is very good,but Wheeljack iscrap at best. You could use it for filler parts though. It's much cheaper.

[christiantransfan]

is his plastic tough or really flimsy??

[nosheeatzoo]

Another thing, does the doors open(fold down) like the g1 wheeljack??

[nosheeatzoo]

I just received a KO reissue shockwave for $80 USD and I must say,stay away from that one!! the legs are really loose,the plastic is thin, and the gun barrel doesn`t fit well.The box however is really nice and styrofoam insert aswell.I also bought a KO sunstreaker and its a bit better though.

[christiantransfan]

@nosheeatzoo How much better his he really good?

[FLPAN1993]

@nosheeatzoo I own a KO Shockwave myself and I agree on what you said about the legs are loose and the gun barrel doesn't fit. Mine doesn't stand straight and the gun barrel keeps falling off. But the plastic to me is okay, but not outstanding quality.

[boriloco76]

the thing thats different is the paint its dull not shiny the other is the molding is alittle off the screws undersneath are not flat the round .... certain things are diffent the molding on the plastic joints are alittle off the white .. by alot ! compared my original to the remake and the fake is almost there but alot of mistakes on the molding

[nosheeatzoo]

What other KO transformers have you bought?

[MrStrangelad]

@nosheeatzoo Off the top of my head (all G1 style package), The Aerialbots, Devastator, Sringer, Shockwave and Cyclonus. Thats pretty much all I own knock-off wise, except for a KO Spike for Cerebros.

[nosheeatzoo]

go to ioffer.com you can get one there waaay cheapier than ebay and you can offer a price instead of getting ripped off like on ebay with the way over priced shipping.

[nosheeatzoo]

do you have the KO Sunstreaker??

[MrStrangelad]

@nosheeatzoo

No I don't, at least not yet. Waiting for one to appear at a reasonable price.

[nosheeatzoo]
