Yeah, it's a KO, and yeah, the front armor doesn't click tightly into place (works fine for display purposes), but even if you can get Evasion Mode Prime for a reasonable price, there's no fucking way I'd pay 45 USD plus shipping for those little add-ons.
Also from Aliexpress, I got a sweet Voyager-class (upscaled) CHUG Drift with two longswords for 24 USD (including shipping). It is a perfect replica of the Deluxe Hasbro one, right down to the paint apps. The only thing it's missing is the Autobot logos on the shoulders, but it's a fair trade for a KO that is otherwise indistinguishable from the original, except for the larger size.
(okay, okay, I'm done shilling KOs from Ali)
