Article19 of the UCM states "Only Transformers in C-6 condition or above count" with the general interpretation of C-6 being "not a junker."

And toys can be quite incomplete without being considered a junker. For example, if you had a G1 Mirage that was missing all of his weapons but the toy was in otherwise good condition then most people would still consider it not to be a junker and thus in "countable" condition.

So your toy can have as many KO parts as you like so long as the core figure is legit and not a junker then it counts.

Of course that's according to the UCM... how it would count according to individual collector's rules is too varied for me to comment on.

Which is why you buy Takara reissues, duh.
