um i


er


bought this Brainmaster and

i had confirmation from its originale owner that it was the Japanese Brainmaster not the Euro/Australian/Candana blah blah we call it euro for short, Motorvator lightspeed.

however, looking at pictures on the net, it all looks like the jap toy except for the green chest and head plastic, they are the same as the motorvator.

So do i have some mutant variation?

Also, were the Turbomasters ever released im G2 packaging or g2 insignias?

Is there a g1 optimus prime trailer that says 'Transformers' on the side ?

thanks i suppose

Unless it's a variation I have not seen before, it looks to me it may be a mutant. The back winshields or "knees" are grey on the Japanese version, yellow on the Euro version.

Although the hands and thighs are different from both versions

Lightspeed (http://www.cobraislandtoys.com/tf/1991/lightspeed.html) and Braver (http://www.cobraislandtoys.com/tf/1989/braver.html)

thanks for the additional pics

i cant find a copyright stamp on it anywhere, where is it supposed to be?

I also have the headless yellow one and it too has blue wheels.

They seem pretty sturdy and non knockoffish, the stickers seem to be accurate

My Takara ones have rubber tyres. Not sure about the Hasbro ones.

That looks like a knockoff to me, Roller - the colours aren't right to be Braver, Lightspeed or even Starbot (the GiG version), and all those toys had black tyres.

The Laster/Flame you bought also seems to be a knockoff, Roller. As well as the colours and lack of tyres, notice also that the Autobot symbols are missing from their bonnet stickers. (They should be there as part of the flame/'3' stickers.)
