hey guys, i suddenly feel the need to complete the alternator/BT mould that i still don't have. so do let me know if you are interested to let go of the following:
- Impreza(silverstreak or smokescreen prefered, richochet acceptable too)
- wrangler(hound or rollbar)
- s2000(windcharger/overdrive)
- acura(not sure if there were alternator prowl, but will consider BT prowl)

i prefer alternators but will consider BT.

korean combiners craze eh? nice design...my sons love tobot

haha...same here. problem is, these korean companies are new, and it shows in the engineering. plus, freaking expensive for something subpar to the 30+years of experience that TF has.

wanted to buy my kids some tobot, but when i saw the toy review = doh.gif . it's looks like a kids toy, but the price and construction would put any kid into tantrum. doh.gif

i still trying to brainwash them to like transformers instead. laugh.gif

Something subpar? Are you SURE? I beg to differ. These are my points

1) They are MEANT for kids to play with. There is no denying in that. As far as i know, the transformation is easy. Easy ones are Tobots line. Biklonz is aimed at more matured lvl.  If one can teach his kid to transform and play with tf, i dont see any problems with Tobots. 
2) Quality wise i dont find any QC. None at all unlike TF today. Some are even over 1K and still have serious QC. Need i name a few? The quality plastic and the paint of Biklonz will put subpar 3p TF companies to shame
3) Expensive? You might be looking at the wrong sellers. As far as i know, the prices differs from each seller. At current, Our RM is sh*t so everything is expensive. There are more expensive 3p TF compared to these. 
4) Reviews are doh.gif ?  Here are some of them. I put here reviews by different persons to prevent any biased review that might occurred.

Different Reviewers

I myself i owned 1 tobot and have previously showcase Biklonz Infinity few months ago. I m getting this whole Cross Attacker Set. I can guarantee that this whole set will be cheaper than some 3p combiner series. For those who haven't try out, see the reviews for yourself and make your own judgement.
*
i was specifically referring to tobot (x, y & z specifically. no idea where Biklonz comes from anyway(apparently from the same company). any generations voyager can beat those tobots of the same size in terms of construction.

and the fact that you have to buy a different version to get the tobot tritan, is like doh.gif .

comment #2 & 3 are irrelevant, as those seems to refers to mostly new 3rd party company. i don't recall any official TF that are over 1K, unless it's something rare.

most of your argument uses 3P TF companies as measuring stick. i was NOT referring to them when i say "30+years of experience ".

Ok, I see your point of views. I m sure that you can't deny nowadays 3p tf is just as important as Hasbro or Taktom. Even Takara MP Star saber & Reissue OP have QC with some of the released batches. Is it really FAIR to compare a young company to a 30+ years company?

Tobots are for kids. Therefore, i pass them up. The Biklonz series are the future for Young Toys. I do see the improvement from Biklonz Infinity to Cross Attacker. These are good quality products i assure you.
*
i'm just a father who refuses to pay MYR90 for a tobot when i know i can get a superior TF at that same price range. i'm pretty sure the joints on the TF would last longer too.

to me young toys is asking way too much for their tobot line. so fairness is already out the window.

3P TF are a hit or miss to me. plus, the prices are high because they are not mass produced. so it's completely your choice if you want to risk it or not. they should be compared only amongst themselves. like custom stuff vs custom stuff thing. not fair to compare taktom/hasbro against TFC/HFC/MMC/whatnotC .

Each to his own point of view. I respect yours. You yourself are comparing taktom/hasbro against Young toys which to me is custom stuff like you said it yourself. On the other hand, i m comparing it to 3p TF. Am i wrong?
*
wait2...those tobots are custom stuff? really? how come Giant/TRU/AEON gets to sale them? <- i'm under the impression those tobots are mainstream products. which is why i'm comparing to mainstream hasbro/taktom product.

Okay guys lighten up. To clarify things Biklonz & Tobots are not customs toys but toy lines created by the Korean company Young Toys which spot heavy influences from other lines such as Transformers and Power Rangers hence the resemblance. Since their targeted market are mostly kids they have chosen to make the transformation and aesthetic seemingly less complicated (but still interesting) as compared to the more intricate designs of TFs. On the flip side their product also seems to have much sturdier build as compared TF so it can't be broken so easily. This couple with the larger size of the figure may be the reason why they are much more expensive than TFs (TFs nowadays aren't exactly cheap either dry.gif ).

In terms of design they may seem somewhat inferior to the more intricate and complicated Transformers but the same can be said about Power Rangers. PR toys are not exactly cheap either but people still love them for their simplicity and sturdiness (sweat.gif). This however doesn't make them any less interesting as they do apply some very refreshing methods in the transformation designs.

As nifoc2099 pointed out Tobots/Biklonz may not be anyone cup of tea so there's no point in arguing which toy line is more superior. Every toy line (including 3rd Parties) created their products with different marketing purposes to cater for specific groups of audiences so there's also no point in comparing one toy line with another either.

In the end it all comes down to personal preference. To be fair we are all here to share our appreciation for transforming robot toys so it's good not to make a big fuzz about something like this. If you like it give it a thumbs up and if you don't just simply say "Not my cup of tea... tongue.gif" and carry on.

Just my 2 cents... apologize if I offended anyone notworthy.gif

Oh... speaking of which ...

DX9 Carry (not Rodimus Prime)

just for the record, i do consider official product as mainstream product. so no, i dont consider young toys' products as custom. and i stand by my argument that their line should not be compared to unofficial product.

bickering aside:

i never knew an awesome theme can be made "awesomer" ohmy.gif

you sure? 1/1 scale? rolleyes.gif i'll be pretty happy for sure. i'll take that over any transformable transformers. even though i don't like aile strike. thumbup.gif

i know Hot Rod is Rodimus Prime, but any difference between Hot Rod & Rodimus? or is Rodimus short name for Rodimus Prime?
*
it's all in the copy right. originally it was hot rod and rodimus prime, but hasbro/takara lost the copy right. so some variant became hot rodimus etc. yes, rodimus is short for rodimus prime. just like optimus is short for optimus prime. make sense? laugh.gif

he could well be a whale or sea urchin. bayformers doesn't transform, they morph to whatever they want to be.....but with all that technology, i'm sure BB still won't be able to talk whistling.gif
