    The colours make it look like a KO

    5 missiles/chrome weapons/the 4 yellow-green accessories in the top left corner...

    Of the top of my head I can't recall if the UK release differed much from the Japanese one...

    Things that tells me that this toy is a Knock Off:
    1/ It's called "Alpha Base Robot" (in both Korean and English). No Transformers logos or official artwork anywhere.
    2/ "Power Rangers" looking dudes above the Alpha Base Robot logo.
    3/ Weird UFO-space-battle-station thing behind the robot art.
    4/ Colours are wrong.
    5/ Manufactured by "Academy" - afaik the company that is officially licensed to distribute Transformers in Korea is Sonokong.
    6/ Giga and Mega appear to be absent.
    7/ It has Star Sabre's head! In blue! (O_o)
    8/ It comes with a pack of cigarettes!

    ...I would report this seller asap.

    afaik the Hasbro and Takara versions of Overlord are, toywise, identical.

    I clicked on the link and only saw the tray of toy parts. Those other things that Goktimus mentions are pretty good clues!

    Is there a Microman or Diaclone version of Overlord, if not it's a fake I would think.
