    It is, unfortunately.
    For instance, the Henkei version has chromed launchers & it's missing the silver paint app on the forearms that is present on the Hasbro version, among others.

    The tops of the launchers are chrome maybe cannot see in pic or should the whole launcher be chrome?

    See the round part of the launcher, where you.insert the missile? That should be chromed- not the rectangle part with the button.

    My apologies. They looked like black launchers on my phone.
    The thrusters should not be green either.
    Can you post a photo of the inside of his left & right legs please? I'd like to check the markings & stamping

    All good
    Here's a comparison of two different head sculpts. Which one is closer to the one you have?

    Hard to say but i'm thinking it looks more like the top one I've also been doing some research and i'm starting to think its CHSM Skywarp does this sound right?

    CHMS is a KO.

    I can't tell from your pic which it is. I'm seeing things both for and against it.

    It also doesn't help that the official Henkei Skywarp had a fair share of issues (though not as bad as poor TC). So the fact that the cannon/s is/are loose is also a plus in your favour.

    A clearer pic is needed, especially of the head. The details should be sharp, and the eyes precise, not googly and a mismatch to the area.

    Yours does have the black wrist overspray common to a lot of the CHMS KOs.

    Post a close-up of the head and we'll be able to tell for sure.

    As is, I'm leaning towards the KO, but it's by no means definite. I'm 51/49 split on it at this stage.
