I just picked up the MP-18B original, and from what I can tell the Cloudbuster rockets feel just fine. They don't feel fragile really, but of course they're not as thick plastic as the rifle. Also from what I can see, and again this might just be UA-cam not giving us a very clear pic of the actual paint, it looks as though the KO doesn't have that metallic flake finish that the original 18B's plastic has.
Even the hood paint screwups??!? That's the only reason I would go for this guy! Grrrrr. Thanks for reviewing him. You are correct about the Diaclone release issue.
This looks amazing, just as nice as the original from this video. Always wanted the official version of this guy, the colours are awesome. I'll get one one day...
I'm still quite glad I got the original early (even though it does feel like I overpayed, especially when they went on sale during Black Friday >XD). Having a legit Bluestreak and Silverstreak and having a KO set of the Prowl add on launchers as well as the Dr. Wu ones for Streak (I think it's Dr.Wu; could wrong) I can safely say there's a very noticable difference between the KO launchers and the real ones. The real ones plug on fine and have absolutely no issues. Both KOs I have though are very loose and split down the middle. Among other things they're obviously not glued or anythin in that areas. You can slightly mitigate that effect by clamping them with the actual cannons they're covering which does help. Also I will say, you could probably put your KO Smokescreen with your Bluestreak. The Fairlady Z mold originally came in this blue deco, the regular Streak deco (the one with the dark silver and black hood; the cartoon appearance is obviously based on it), the Prowl version, and the Smokescreen version (in other words everything except for Silverstreak actually had a Diaclone release.) This is one reason I'm personally going for any Hasbro versions that come despite them being identical (the other is OCD). If you have Exhaust he's Diaclone as well, as is Dai Commander Stack if you still own him.
I don't collect Dialone or G2, but I could not resist this one once the KO was released. I love the color scheme. It makes more sense for BLUEstreak, right?? I hope Toy Hax makes a Reprolabels set for this.
+Shuraking Dino Well, consistency is not something HasTak is very good at. Either way, my favorite color is blue so I HAD to get this figure! He's a great display piece on my desk.
Fantastic review!!! I can't believe the quality of these KO's. Just looking on a shelf out of the box I'd have no clue it was a fake. Im definitely going to have to pick some up.
Hi Ben, I have the original and the rockets feel cheap and nasty and one of them likes to separate when I put them on. They are quite a disappointment compared to the previous ones we all got on silverstreak.
Dam it should have not watch this video now going to buy Bluestreak that paint job and colours look amazing. But seriously you videos are great and you do give great advice please keep up the good work
ok, i'm kinda confused. How it can be a knockoff/third-party/from another kinda company, when it has the official logos, and even the official autobot simbol (it not seems to be a repro label)? it's not a copyright infringment? sorry for my missunderstanding if i maked it
+hariel957 yes this is not a third party it's is someone in China exactly coping the mound to make money of something Takara have already made ... Sometimes people try and sell these saying this are originals as well :(
I used to own this car dude. my dad did anyway... he sold it basically the day I got my license is 16 ROFL and then he bought me a mustang but it was a 4-cylinder absolutely snail of a car mustang can you tell he was worried I would hurt myself speeding? I'm still mad at him to this day getting rid of a 6-speed Nissan 280Z It's actually a Datsun by the way not a Nissan
Ok thank you. I had ordered a figure from China before and it took like a month + to get to me. I'm probably going to place my order tomorrow. Thanks sir!
+Gen1 Red Alert TF-Direct generally will take on average about 11 days or so to reach the USA. I ordered the Wheeljack KO from them on 12/21 and should be receiving it tomorrow as it's in my city making it 11 days
check this out, I wonder if I can put pictures up here to show you on the comments Ben, I got this figure but mine did not come blue and it's simply called streak ... I forgot when I bought it on Amazon that it was a KO when I got it I swear to you it came in a perfect masterpiece box, the figure looks absolutely perfect (I think there's another version of blue streak names streak with darker colors) is that possible? I'm telling you the box has everything I can't find anything on it that would make it a knock off lol It was only $40 too
@@Benscollectables yes yes ok, I have streak. I can't believe it's a knock off I had no idea they come so perfect, box and everything. this has to be like a factory leftover or something... It has to be.

where do i find this ko version?, all versions i've seen on ebay do not have the transformers logo on the box, and the brand is still takasa.
Howcome this does not have loose legs as the KO MP Prowl? Is this a better mold? Thanks for your input!
At 7:47 in to this video, who is the character/figure on the left with the gunbelt and ammo? Thanks!
G2 sideswipe with Rambo upgrade by dr Wu

what was that red transformer that was displayed with bumblebee? It looked like a side swipe
Hi Ben, hope the family is doing well and you are well too.
Quick question about TF-Direct, was shipping time reasonable?
Thanks dude!
Hi Ben, I have the original and the rockets feel cheap and nasty and one of them likes to separate when I put them on. They are quite a disappointment compared to the previous ones we all got on silverstreak.
HAHAHA YOU HAVE THE SAME THING!!! and again mine is in blue streak mine is just streak but yours looks like a perfect box too
Weapons in the original are a bit thinner, like the cannon from the MP12
Nice figure!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

This is a boot leg / counterfeit / complete copy of the original
i know, so the makers of that complete copy had maded the official logos intentionally, mmm quite interesting
+hariel957 yes this is not a third party it's is someone in China exactly coping the mound to make money of something Takara have already made ... Sometimes people try and sell these saying this are originals as well :(
ooh i know about that, well thak you for the info i wwas kinda confused about that XD
Can you do a video of KO MMC Predaking!!!
Yeah it's on route
any loose joints?
+metubeaccountko none at all sir
wait, it's already KO-ed?
I have the original and the plastic quality feels on par with that of the gun.
I used to own this car dude. my dad did anyway... he sold it basically the day I got my license is 16 ROFL and then he bought me a mustang but it was a 4-cylinder absolutely snail of a car mustang
can you tell he was worried I would hurt myself speeding?
I'm still mad at him to this day getting rid of a 6-speed Nissan 280Z It's actually a Datsun by the way not a Nissan
My 1st car was a 280zx because my dad had one. My second car 300zx. Both lady owned.
Do you know where they ship out of? Also how long did this guy take to get to you. Also thanks for the use of my MP.
They ship from China and it arrived just before Xmas , shipping is about 1 1/2 weeks

Cool thanks for the heads up.
the original cloudbusters are just as well made as the toy itself..its a shame those are tosh seeing as the rest of the toy looks amazing for a KO..

There are a couple of versions , one is all silver called silver streak and one is smoked grey with a black bonnet called streak

They obviously photocopied the box...
Well, I could have been fooled into believing this was the real thing, for sure
its a Blue and your name is bluestreak
