Hi guys,

might sound like a dumb question, but in my search for this guy.. and a decent price all i can find on ebay is this,

does anyone know if there are any issues with KO's like this one? I'll always have it in combined mode.

Thanks

i'd just pay the extra couple of dollars and get the legit one.

I had a KO as a placeholder until the reissue and for display purposes it was fine. Don't think about playing / transforming it too often though.

Big issue is that its a KO.

Baffles me that they put box rankings on a KO. Lol.

I agree with sinner twin. Only an extra 20 bucks for a real one.

I can understand (although not condone) using counterfeits in place of reissues that don't exist (e.g. Headmaster Warriors), but if a recent reissue exists or is coming soon, then I don't get it. And Devastator's been recently reissued twice.

I just use a small placard as a place holder on a shelf. e.g. when I pre-ordered Generations Metroplex, I estimated the amount of necessary shelf space to leave, and put a book end there with a post-it note that said "Metroplex." When I pre-ordered Encore Fortress Maximus, I used my G1 Fortress Maximus to gauge how much space I needed, then just left that spot empty (and put my G1 Fort Max on his new shelf). For me, it's like a 'reserved parking' system; I just leave a spot empty and put a note there, then when the toy comes in, it occupies the reserved space. Ethical/moral issues aside, it's just a lot cheaper than purchasing a counterfeit just to occupy air, only to be discarded when you get the real deal.

Yeah not being a fan of buying and supporting KO's at all.

I just see a chinese shop in china and think twice if its real or not. But def will pay the extra $20 odd for a legit one.

Did i read somewhere that there's a new version of Devastator coming out?

The first link in my post above was for the traditional colour scheme, while the other two were for the more cartoon accurate version -it also comes with a new heads sculpt, but only one trading card as opposed to the first release which from memory has 6 or 7?

Anyhoo, the other Devastator you may be thinking of is the rumoured box set which features all six as part of the Combiner Wars
