Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Hence why we should never support KOs and actively discourage others from purchasing them. Join the KO boycott and say no to bootlegs!

It's a bootleg, and apparently it's a crap bootleg.

Pricing: The REAL one isn't worth that much. I mean, you can spend that much money on better things, or hell, get yourself an extra City Commander set. From what I recall, Fan's Project themselves artificially created the ridiculous prices for the Cliffjumper set that we see now by jacking up the price every time somebody enquired about it. At least, that's what people on the major TF boards reported.

Holy crap! Really?! Thank goodness I didn't buy it when I saw it on the ebay thread ... I think I saw it there! :\ dayum!!! Is there a thread about warning people about it?

Wouldn't saying that about Fans Project without solid evidence be classed as slanderous? This is more a question for our Legal Eagle on the board.

Hereticpoo: Takara have already reissued some G1 gestalts; Predaking, Landcross, Sixturbo, Sixtrain, Sixliner, Sixbuilder and Sixwing (sorta).

As for Defensor, Superion, Devastator and Menasor, Takara have officially said that they will not be reissuing these gestalts. They said that it was because these gestalts have been heavily bootlegged and that Takara are not interested in competing against bootleggers in an unfair market (because there's just no way they can possibly make their reissues as cheap as KOs). Takara quickly jumped on reissuing Predaking - we saw KO Predakings cropping up shortly after the reissue came out.

There wasn't any real doubt over a reissue Metroplex but Omega Supreme was in doubt because the mould was never owned by Takara, but since Takara has merged with TOMY they've been able to acquire non-Takara moulds which have since been purchased by TOMY, such as Sky Lynx and Omega Supreme. (-_-)

Whilst it's arguable that Metroplex was not as heavily bootlegged (i'm not sure tbh, all i know is that KO Metroplex came out more recently compared to the gestalts), at least the release of Encore Metroplex AFTER the fact, establishes some precedent for Takara going back on their word of not reissuing toys purely because of existing KO's. I'm not getting my hopes up either tho

Takara never actually said that they wouldn't reissue Metroflex though.

It is my opinion as a Class-C Lawyer and journalist that and slanderous comments be stricken from the record.

Does the binaltech custom shoulder missles look proportional on Universe Classics 2.0 Sunstreaker's or Sideswipe's shoulder, a picture would be appreciated

[autobreadticon]

does any1 on the board own binaltech custom shoulder missles ???

[Gutsman Heavy]

I have little doubt that they would be WAY too huge for Uni Sunstreaker.
