    The same reason most other boxes have handles on them

    I was tempted by the Huffer, but I have all three versions of the mold in commander size. There was also a weird but kinda cool painted optimus. I was going to try to get a picture but the staff member started to wander over.

    This one time I went to Sam's Warehouse at Penrith, and they had Knock off Kre-O Transformers. Not talking about the minifigures which you can find anywhere, but the actual big sets.
    I had a photo of them in stock, but I can't find it, so here's a picture of what the set is:


    Another time I went to Shenzen while on Holidays, and the funny thing about that place was the fact the only Legit thing (other than the food) they had was, 1 Human Alliance Leadfoot! Most of the Transformers they had there were dodgy, but the best Knockoff I found was a Lego Optimus Prime, which you could build and transform! Of cause, being a knockoff a lot of the pieces fell off quickly and it's now scatted in my lego boxes, but it was still a good concept. Again can't find the photos I took, but here's what it looks like:

    I'll update this when I'm needing help finding particular figures

    When you are doing fairly accurate KOs in Australia, you don't want to leave your contact details on the packaging.
    These look to be the same size and colourings as the 2007 Legends Movie Bumblebee toy. Just the packaging is unusual... and amusing.
    Bumblebee is one sexy beast, with the function of "looker".

    I remember this one time I went bowling in Blacktown and there was this arcade across from there and one of the prizes was an oversized KO Bumblebee. Being the kid I was who didn't give a crap whether it was Legit or not, I won myself it.
    It's long gone now, but it wasn't the last KO Bumblebee I got.
    This one time at Normanhurst West, they had a fair and someone was selling again, oversized KO Bumblebee's, but the paint was so bad I just had to grab one. Don't know what happened to him, but all I know is that it was crap
    And my last knockoff Bumblebee isn't even bumblebee, but a different robot from a different brand transforming into a car that isn't even a Camaro! How is it a KO Bumblebee if it isn't Bumblebee? It was painted to look like Bumblebee!

    I don't have any photos, but because I want to upload a pic of a KO Bumblebee, enjoy this one I found on the interwebs:

    They were $14 (which is weird for a KO to be almost 3 times the price of the original), at an Asian store in Brisbane.
