Saw this, and it was bound to happen. The thing is after I saw Grimlock, I think this is going to be reissued officially again.

No trailer though.

Finally! I can have the non-cartoon accurate bright colours of the Hasbro version with the dead eyes of the Takara-Tomy one!
So excited!:rolleyes:

Bleh. Those dead eyes are so big. The price is really the only thing that looks good, but I'm not biting. You'd think they'd do the Takara blue with the Hasbro eyes.

no trailer, and my vibe says Takara is reissuing and Hasbro as well. I am going to be patient.

For that price I'll grab the year of the horse Optimus.
They should at least make it the size of MP1 to differentiate it from the original.
I'll buy it if it was that size.

$110US for a KO!:eek:

Can't imagine anyone with a brain paying that.

I wonder if someone would be desperate to buy this and the YOTH and mix and match? kind of overkill but like I said, this only tells me that an reissue is coming again.

Now they do admit a KO Grimlock is released, not just Hasbro version without box.

You think a reissue is coming? Tell me one more time.

Won't need to, just wait. HK reissues mean jack to me though as they are not priced correctly in my point of view.

I be waiting on Hasbro, after they release Prowl.

Looks like they just repackaged their Grimlock with some small differences, I don't see why they couldn't do the same with Optimus Prime, especially with how popular the MP-10 mould is and the prices he's going for.

The part of the arm is not a perfect red match from a glance.

edayshop is the worst KO maker/ seller on ebay!!

An uneducated friend has been buying KO's thinking that he's getting a bargain, he got lambor and it was a real good KO and then he got Alert and it was sooo crap (from edayshop)

remember the name!

Not surprised though, why pay $300 for an original?

I'd honestly pay the $110 asking price for the KO, if it had the trailer. I'm presuming this has no accesories either, so a definite no.

And it looks like they're using the tray from the 10B version. I can see the appeal considering the cost of the legitimate version

You might as well get the YOTH version, or MP10B Black Convoy for that price

Not if the person wants one in authentic Gen1 colours.

It's a big toy to completely reproduce, with a lot of parts to individually mould and manufacture... I wonder if these are loose extras from the factory, that someone has grabbed before they were trashed, and just done up packaging for them.
If it is a complete reproduction (KO), then I would have to imagine a lot of quality issues on all those moving, interlocking parts, and different plastic types and load-bearing parts.

Just be aware people, that the link is posted up as proof of what to be aware of... it is not to promote the item to buy (if there is a non-sale site or photos somewhere, please post them up for future reference).

This Ko one is an updated toy. Put matel pin in his first figer in hand, we won't lose it in transfroming. Also painting job is great.

Another news:
1. 09 ROTF LOP had been KO, and KO are everywhere.
2. 09 ROTF Buster OP had been KO as well, sell in china taobao at RMB260.
3. MP08 had been KO, can not find any difference than the other takara's mp08. Only different thing is grimlocks been packed with crown in box.

Bring some pics for KO buster OP. Painting is terrible.
Beware of it!
