So Road Pig got me thinking: Why are all the Cybertronian Ninjas now motor bikes? Time was you had to be a six-changer to be a ninja (or ninja consultant!) but now all you need are two wheels and a spooky faceplate.

Went on a minor splurge on Aliexpress cos they had a sale on and brought a KO G1 Hound, which looks beautiful but is a piece of sht - i don't know what the technical terms are but basically all the pieces don't really fit together well. The accessories are the same. Look great but you can get them to attach. The quality varies so much on these KOs, its almost as if there is no quality control DJD01 is an oversize KO of the recent Tarn figure. It's lush. And has some diecast parts. I liked the original but he was too small, and this resolves that problem. Finally J.Balvintron or whatever its called. Not sure if this is a KO or an original, the packaging makes me thing original, but the build quality isn't great. Doesn't fit together too well, and the Buzzsaw head just falls off in a way that earlier versions do not. But maybe the mold is just degenerating. Colours are ridiculous, which is why I bought it. It gives you respect for the people who design toys, you can tell the difference between toys designed by people with design experience and toys designed by coke addled popstars. But I love me rediculous recolours, and Raverwave and his two chums are exactly that.

I think he's wondering if it's been KO' since and his copy isn't legit

Any rumours that I'm a ninja given that I cycle and still wear a face mask are just that, rumours. And if anyone wants to suggest otherwise, well, they do it at their own risk...

Go-Bot Treds is missing his back assembly, so there's a lovely big gap in the back of his tank mode. That's kind of annoying.

Checked the box, nothing there. Star have been enquired at.
Good thing Treds was the one I was least excited about!

Got the bug again at the moment. Recent pickups include...
- Rotorstorm - Air Patrol - Bumblebee (SS86) - Chromia (Legacy) - Scoop (Thrilling 30) - Ramjet (Classics)
Kinda tempted by Filch, too.
