Interesting, rare and sometimes cheap ebay items.

Question, all these figures from China, free shipping, starts form 99c bids. IDW Orion, Megs, FOC Twintwist, Thundercracker, Skywarp ($10.5 shipping), Platinum Grimlock; they are all over ebay. Are these the real deal? I know $40 Mp's are Ko's but are these?

Sellers like these two.

I don't believe so (for lena at least). I have purchased those two Targetmasters for United Artfire as additional accessories for other figures. They appear as good as the real thing.

I previously purchased some ridiculously cheap toys from similar sellers in the past, and the quality does not feel like KO's. Granted, they one of the figures does feel like it was on the low end of passing QC, and another had a minor gimmick that didn't work. This leads me to believe that the products sold by such sellers are legitimate Hasbro factory products, that have somehow made their way out of the factory.

The cheap loose (unpackaged) figures are most likely from factory workers who either smuggled out completed figures, or, these were toys left after the packaging stage (extras produced to cover (significantly) defective ones, to make sure they ship their required quota to Hasbro).

They don't come with that on it. They come with a sticker you can put on if you want. There are 2 Autobot symbols you can choose from, they are just different sizes.

Golden Phoenix totally right ...tiger track comes with sticker , and i thick it a factory seconds as griffin stated ...as the head light has black trim around them and the micro printing of the lambo badge and the back print of countach and Lamborghini pretty good.
