Knockoff KO Transformers Alternators/Binaltech Bumblebee (?!) Review

Impossible. This is impossible!

Okay, okay. This isn’t exactly Alternators Bumblebee. It’s also definitely not the cancelled Alternators Bumblebee I talked about way back when.

This is a KO Alternators/Binaltech Smokescreen painted up to look like Bayverse Bumblebee. He’s yellow with the stripes and everything! You gotta admit, this mold rocks the colours.

This KO has all the diecast parts of the Binaltech. Which means he’s hefty and solid feeling in hand. Also, he’s still got the rubber tyres and working suspension.

Gotta say, the quality on this is amazing; it’s as good as the KO MPs that everybody loves. The plastic is nice, thick and durable. The joints are all tight and not floppy but the metal parts are focused on the upper body of the robot mode which makes balancing Smokebee here a bit tricky.

Guess what happened though. This hamfisted idiot went and broke the peg on Smokebee’s engine gun. I pulled it too hard and it got stuck in his hand hole.

I really wish that they’d KO Alternators/Binaltechs more often. The line was amazing and more people need to get their hands on the figures. I feel like going and getting original copies of Smokescreen along with all his bros right now!
