http://tfarchive.com/fandom/kitbashe...i/Botcon_Arcee The story you're referencing is actually a bit different, what happened was an Arcee was made by a fan and won a competition. The fan (Hironori Kobayashi) was then hired by Takara and went on to design most Binaltech and Masterpieces... At some point his Arcee design was ripped off and released by the third party and as you say appears almost identical.
