Sometimes you can still stick to the original by buying variants though. I believe high quality knock offs of scourge were manufactured to replicate the sticker top original. You can quite simply track down and purchase the vintage moulded top variant instead without any worries of it being a crappy fake.

On the top of my head I think the variants of the following are available for those worried about KO's

- Cyclonus
- Optimus
- The Decepticon tapes
- Metroplex

Maybe others, but they don't come to mind right now

Also, I noticed RK have the encore metroplex for $30US cheaper than BBTS. Not to mention the massive saving on shipping too. BBTS charge an arm and a leg in comprison and this fella is a big whopper in the box
