    Default how to tell the difference ?

    I'm looking to but a CLASSICs Ultra Magnus, But fear ending up with a Knockoff.

    Is there some hard definers between the KO and the Legit Version?\

    Classics Ultra Magnus? As in the white recolour of Classics Optimus, which was only available in the 2-pack with Skywarp? I wasn't aware that it had been KOed. If so, maybe you should post a photo, or compare it to website galleries (or tfu.info) of Classics UM.

    There's also a 2nd 2-pack (Classic Ultra Magnus/Classic Optimus Prime), released by Hasbro in some countries:

    As far as I know there is no KO version of this figure, at least no 'duplicate' KO.

    The good thing is that those KO's are hardly accurate to the real thing.

    Not sure about Animated Bumblebee, looks pretty accurate to me :/

    Besides, all I'm saying is... nothing escapes KO.. so just beware particularly if it doesn't have packaging!

    Animated bumbles looks better than the real thing. Not too hard with the current affairs of shoddy craftsmanship.

    For repaints, they look pretty good!

    How about that pale blue/red/green Sky Lynx? They couldn't of painted it in any more far-out colours if they tried...
