These are Tfs right?
Cool. Enjoy.
he also seems to be over-qualifying the fact that its a 'prototype', saying "I haven't closely compared the parts to production but I would think they are the same, Onslaught may be different. What is it then, a sample, a prototype, call it what you will!" among other things.
sounds like a caveat emptore to me
Some very interesting KO items here..at least they're the wrong colours :p

Sorry guys. It's very sus. A new 0 feedback seller has just posted most of these items again. http://myworld.ebay.com.au/minelba/
There's not really anything "apparent" about it. It's what he says it is. Which is, admittedly, somewhat vague. The best description would a mock-up.
FYI, the seller is quite probably the most knowledgeable guy in the UK, if not the world, about G1. I got to see a lot of his collection years ago and it was obscene. Every US G1 MI(S)B? Check. All the later-years Japanese figures MI(S)B? Check. White headmaster heads? Yep. Hardcopy Astrotrain as seen in the 1985 catalogue? Better believe it. Resin G1 prototypes, loads of original Marvel UK/US artwork, animation cels, original proofs of G1 box art, European, Mexican and South American variants, Action Master elite prototypes.. I know a lot of it has been sold over the last few years both privately and on eBay, but he must still have far more. Suffice to say, if he says it's from a Hasbro employee, it's from a Hasbro employee.
Although you can never tell with these things if it's an item of actual significance or it's something an employee slapped together to sell to a collector with a made up story.
