Has Cerebros been KO's

[optimus1]

I'm looking to get a Cerebros, but I don't want a KO. I've googled around for a guide as to whether one exists and how to identify it, but haven't come across such a guide. Does anyone have any insight?

I'm pretty sure it has with the 10 pack KO Headmaster set - the one with the exclusive JP Headmasters (eg. Shuffler, Kirk, etc).
They do not have a Takara/Hasbro stamp on them.

Thank you, but that's Spike. I'm only interested in Cerebros.

Yes, there are plenty of Cerebros knockoffs out there. (Other than the weird-coloured ones) often the stickers are a clear giveaway, but someone could put repro stickers on one and it would look similar to the original.

That said, 99% of Cerebros knockoffs are the wrong scale or clearly knockoffs, so generally you should be safe - there aren't many that could be confused for the real thing.

Yep, I've seen some KO Fort Maxes while I've been in China. Grossly out of scale (like the size of a Deluxe!) -- so it's impossible to confuse them for the real deal. Didn't know there were 1:1 scale KOs though... that sucks.

sadly said i did have Cerebros and Spike KO without realising after buying it off a shop but well, its fun to have; jay remember me telling you about it

Thank everyone. No Icey, I don't recall. Do you have an original yet? Can you compare?

I'm with Sky on this one. I've only ever seen a handful of Cerebros KO's on ebay and they're either obvious crappy versions or semi accurate with dodgy stickers.

I don't see much of a problem with buying Cerebros on ebay (compared to Spike), but alternatively Jay, can I suggest http://www.fortmax.com/index.cgi

Not sure if you've purchased from there, but this store used to have a massive vintage G1 inventory. They only stock Fort Max stuff now I believe. My orders from fortmax.com have ranged between $10-$250 and I've never had a problem. I'm confident they don't stock any KO's - in fact most of those Fortress Maximus accessories in their inventory have been around for years
