Also, it should be noted that as well as a KO being produced, BBTS and various other stores are having a second run of the real thing for $79.99.

First Soundwave, now Sideswipe, one could assume the cassettes and Red Alert are next

Also reported in the Ratchets repair Section under the KO ID area with some examples of Sideswipe's head and eyes, which appear to be the main giveaway.

I saw the pics can't really see any difference yet.

Given Soundwave's popularity a 2nd run isn't surprising, I am suprised that Sideswipe is getting a 2nd run this late. Especially since I only recently bought him at the inflated price doh!

BBTS says there is a second run of the real MP-12 Lambor on the way.

Another point is the panel lining around the head lights. The original has black, while the KO does not. Courtesy of Tformers.com (http://tformers.com/transformers-masterpiece-sideswipe-knockoff-now-in/20610/news.html)

Man, I REALLY hope this does happen!

I bought my MP Sideswipe fairly recently from China and I had to check. Thankfully it appears to be legit due to the sticker and the correct eyes.

All the pictures I've seen show the KO with piledrivers. I haven't seen a KO with hands yet. That would be a fairly big giveaway/difference.

BBTS & TFSource etc have the legit Lambor up for preorder, i'd say it will.
