Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

[Megatran]

Sounds like you've got the 16S reissue which was available in 2001 & 09.
Photos?

Thanks Sinnertwin. I still don't know how to upload photos, hence my poor attempt at describing the item.

Megatron: Is it this one?

I would advise you to check out a toy's authenticity before purchasing if you're unsure. Nothing worse than finding out that a toy is fake after you've bought it. Although under consumer law the seller is required to refund your money (since legally they never should have sold that toy to you in the first place).

Gok, the photo in your first hyperlink looks about right. I got Megs minus any accessories for $15 from a renter who just moved in near my street. I bought it coz it looked interesting with the different colour scheme. So not too worried about consumer law if it turned out to be a KO.

I did a bit more 'investigating'. There is no year indentification on the mould (that I could see). However, there are the words 'Made in China Takara' on the side panel of the trigger section. The fusion canon from my G1 Reissue Megs fits onto this Megs!

I don't really care if its a 16S Reissue or some other iteration. All I need to know is whether this Megs is likely a legit item or a KO.
