Warning dont be fooled by a gold boxed gold bling bling KO MP Sideswipe. KOs are bad. But I got this one to see for myself what the QC is like. If I did not know it was fake I would think its an odd convention exclusive or something. It's kinda gross too. But yet I had to have him. Comes in a gold foil MP box and has A Gold Foil card with him too. Quality is as good as the real Sideswipes. But I wish the shoulders locked into place. They dont stay in place when you play with him :p

Would look nice if it was all gold and a bit of black in robot mode.

Reminds me of those recent AoE Chromed Dinobot giveaways. We'll just paint the outside, nobody will notice.

It could almost be Golden Lagoon Sideswipe. Too bad they messed it up. I hate KOS!

This was released late last year wasn't it?
I'm really amazed at the speed to which em KO folks churn these things out.
No official exclusive is safe!

Looking at it again, if you swap all the red parts and bring em together, you'd get a 99% red Sideswipe! :D

I remember when they first came out at the end of last year (before the Gen2 Sideswipe came out, because I was looking for purchase options online and came across the gold one thinking it was some exclusive limited item).
I thought I had posted about it somewhere other than in the ebay topic (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?p=395065#post395065), but maybe not.

It is an unusual KO, but is actually more like a classic Knock Off, in that it is a different colour and not a counterfeit reproduction.
