Hey guys,

Just came across this (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TRANSFORMERS-VICTORY-COMBINER-ROAD-CAESAR-MIB-REMOULD-/260669462322?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb11c5732) whilst trawling eBay.

Now, to my knowledge the European releases of Road Caesar, The Motorvators, did not come with the required gestalt accessories to form Road Caesar and seeming as though all the sources I can find say that there wasn't any variations of the Japanese release of Road Caesar produced, would it be safe to assume that this item would be a KO?

It's a ridiculously overpriced knockoff, Hursty.

Knockoff Road Caesars in general? I believe they've been around for nearly two decades. If I recall correctly and have the story right, Jgon had been given a Braver/Lightspeed and a Laster/Flame toy as a kid (which I believe he more recently sold on to Blackie and were then resold to Roller). Anyway, they were clearly knockoffs, but Jgon had never thought to question whether they were anything but genuine since they were two of his childhood 'Transformers':
