Unreleased HK Generations Voyager Brawn on ebay

[Bladestorm]

To me it just looks like a version of Transformers Prime Bulkhead with a different head sculpt... but maybe I'm just not appreciating it.

The Chinese characters on the box also make me a little nervous as I've only ever seen this on fakes (admittedly I've only been collecting for a year and 1/2 so I'm a newb to the older stuff). Were older official Hasbro figures released with English/Chinese around that time?

GDO Brawn is exactly what you described. He was unreleased in the 2012 GDO exclusives, which were Asian exclusives (and at US Toys R Us) with Chinese writing on them. If I recall correctly, we haven't seen any other physical versions of this figure, beyond Takara's cloud version and the promo pic on other GDO boxes.

Yes, there seemed to be two production runs of the 2012 Asian Generations, one lot with just English, and one lot with Chinese on them... with the Deluxes being in robot mode or alt-mode for the two versions.

Bulkhead... is that you?

That is super ugly.

Be interesting to see how high it goes.

It's interesting, from what I gathered the original Asia exclusive releases were just standard English packaging, while the American "imported" versions were covered in Chinese characters...

I guess they figured they didn't look like Asian exclusives unless there was Asian text
