I'm looking to but a CLASSICs Ultra Magnus, But fear ending up with a Knockoff.

Is there some hard definers between the KO and the Legit Version?\

Classics Ultra Magnus? As in the white recolour of Classics Optimus, which was only available in the 2-pack with Skywarp? I wasn't aware that it had been KOed. If so, maybe you should post a photo, or compare it to website galleries (or tfu.info) of Classics UM.

There's also a 2nd 2-pack (Classic Ultra Magnus/Classic Optimus Prime), released by Hasbro in some countries:

Where did you hear about this?

As far as I know there is no KO version of this figure, at least no 'duplicate' KO.

i saw these posted at the club forum (KO UM) and feel I should raise community awareness...

(I hope I'm not violating the rules too!!!)

Even Animated has been KO'ed! (check out bumblebee on the 2nd page!)

The good thing is that those KO's are hardly accurate to the real thing.

Not sure about Animated Bumblebee, looks pretty accurate to me :/

Besides, all I'm saying is... nothing escapes KO.. so just beware particularly if it doesn't have packaging!

Animated bumbles looks better than the real thing. :D Not too hard with the current affairs of shoddy craftsmanship.

How about that pale blue/red/green Sky Lynx? They couldn't of painted it in any more far-out colours if they tried... :p
