Hi sorry if I put it in the wrong forum..
Has anyone bought a set of those fake Constructicons (aka "Changeabie ROBOT Construction") made in China? Are they any good? (I know they're probably not as good the originals, but still, are they decent?)
Thanks! ^_^

For bootlegs they are actually decent, cheap too, I got mine for 5 bucks.
Though you may need a lil bit of filing for those with bad fit. ;D
Has shooting hands that can be replaced with drills ;D ;D

I just saw them in a discount warehouse and was pretty darned tempted to get it. The combo-program gives you a great deal to work with. From there you can do a custom and even combine old damaged TF. -E

I am not sure about using them for original TF since some TF metal parts are plastic on the bootlegs, and again bad fit may happen. Though it is good for trying customizing skills on it.
I've seen some Aerial bots and Combaticon boots too even protectobots though not sure of their quality yet.
Omni has the Bruticus boot and it is holding up pretty well.
There was a semi grimlock boot also, they made the dinosaur mode look like godzilla, if any of my friends will buy it I'll probably see how good it is ;D

I've never seen it before. What are the colors?

Hey Admin-dude!
The Bruticus in G1 now called Ruination (ugh) boot followed the RID colors.
Truck- green camo Shuttle- white Tank- desert camo Jeep- original green Helicopter- blue
Got the fool thing for $5 and feels pretty solid for a boot. although as Otaru mentioned, the fit is really bad. Had tosand off and exacto some parts to fit. I'm thinking of getting Devastator (Constructicons) and Defensor (Protectobots). Superion (Aerobots) still suck.
I'll try to upload some pics if I can borrow a digicam.

Here are some pics of the Ruiniation toy. This is the original but it doesn't have that much of a difference with the boot. HOpe this shows up. The boots don't have those extra rockets on the Helicopter, and the extra guns, and the over spray of paint on the boots are aweful. But again, they stand out nicely when combined
