I don't see why people are whinging. It's not even an official Transformers toy. It's just an unlicensed piece of merchandise, that isn't bound by any rules or ethics (that Hasbro or Takara may or may not apply to real Convention toys). This was just a fan-made accessory to a toy, for a 'smallish' unnofficial fan convention in Canada.
+1 qft. Those whingers just sound like a pack of spoiled brats.
