I waited for this figure!!!, I have the official MP-56 I just need this KO to be in vehicle mode as my Official MP-56 stays in robot mode. Awesome review Ben well done Sir.
I came across this video quite recently, and I just wanted to update anyone who also might come across this video and comments. I have this KO and I can say, at least for my copy, that in your video you don't have the front of the car pushed down enough when in robot mode, as I had to REALLY push and finagle it so that the lower torso isn't showing as much, and that's why the spine won't snap into place properly, and the backpack won't tab in either as it's resisting the hood torso piece! Also there is a waist joint and an ab crunch feature, but it's very stiff and needs to be gently but forcably moved to get the paint to unstick the joint and then it works. Hope any of this helps for anyone else who has or is thinking of getting this version of the KO for TB? 😁
You LEGEND! I was looking into this figure about FIVE MINUTES ago!! Shame about the toy accurate head being a pain to get on, I was going to use that. I'm surprised that there's no waist rotation, too. MangMotion's KO copy had it, but he *didn't* have the ab-crunch. Odd. He *really* had to push the backpack in. The cheapest I can find the official one for is £126.50. The KO at ShowZ is £44.66!
@@Windcharger It really looks like he tried for the ab-crunch pretty hard. So much so, that he said he was going to take it apart, to see what's wrong.
I'll buy the official when it goes on deep discount..if at all. I have the best options available at the moment. But with all these other officials and Kos.. I'll miss having Trailbreaker in the realistic looking packaging. That was a real bummer to me. You heard what I did upon seeing your unboxing 🤣
@@Windcharger I cancelled my PO at ShowZ. I'm hoping they do another straight Ko so I don't have to do that. It's happened before. But I don't know that Trailbreaker is popular enough to warrant doing that with🤷🏻♂️.
Awesome review as usual. Looks like you and Mangmotion are the only ones with reviews out for the KO so far. I wasn't expecting it to be out so soon, this totally changes my plans for what to hunt down in June for my birthday...
I have the official and love it, so I'm not in the market for this KO, but he does look really well done overall! My main concern is the lack of Autobot logo. That section will be impossible to get a sticker to stick to properly..
Waterslide decals works best for these types. If you collect 3rd party Transformers, these are a must. Once it's on, it looks like it's painted on. It's kind of like older phone screen protectors where you use water and then slide the protector on and then squeegee off the excess.
I wonder why some KOs go the whole nine yards and copy the packaging and tampo'd logos. I was hoping this one would at least have the faction symbols but no biggie since i only paid $46 after some points.
Different manufacturers I guess. I know that someone wanted to make an upgraded MP-47 but it got cancelled when the official-looking KO came out. I think if they copy everything 1-to-1, then there won’t be any upgrades.

After going back and forth with this toy, I can say that my copy is an upgrade.

Thanks a good tip! I have the KO of TB.
Audio not clear
Ouch? Where?
Good comp.
I'm just not a fan of this mold. Too many gaps in the design.
I recently got FT Outrider, but this is *such* a bargain!!! I don't know what to do.
@@UnChannelDuVulpineX I still have my MMC. It's good enough. He's not that important a character for me.
@@MosheMaserati Me too. I got the two repaints, too.
Trailbreaker was my first Transformer.
Thanks for the look at this Ben. I have this on order, it is good to see it has turned out well.
It’s uniquely better than the original mold. At least my copy is.
I just got my shipping notice today. Looking forward to checking it out. Always appreciate your opinion.
hopefully the KO makes the yellow version soon
Hopefully!

Maybe he does but it was hard to move?

Thanks Ben
No problem!
Smells like lead paint 😀
LOL! Aromatic!
Smelling could b harmful to nose
My whole room smells of plastic! LOL

I think those who want Diaclone versions will appreciate the toy without the logo.
