Yeah, it's a WST Swoop... the same as Snarl, Slag, and Sludge. The only WST I didn't get was Grimlock as I have a G1 original.

They're neat little figures and surprisingly close to the full-scale Hasbro ones.

I think its safe to assume that 5FDP does not buy KO stuff when it comes vintage G1.

I dont know, HD... 5FDP does have a KO Shockwave there on the first page of photos. Plus the problem with buying Sunstreakers in good condition with all accessories these days is that even if you intend to get a vintage one, there's a chance that someone is in some way 'taking you for a ride'. And not the good type where someone takes you out in a Lamborghini.

It is an original however Reprolabels have been used to give it back some of it's original glory

This is true, especially when I am trying to complete a subgroup or line. I will never claim a KO as an official part of my collection or include them when counting the number of toys I have.

You're right, that is a KO Shockwave and I've never tried to hide that fact. I try to steer away from KO's, especially when they are out of the box because they are harder to tell apart from the originals. Hopefully this way, it conveys a message that I am not attempting to hide the fact that I own a KO and in turn I can help others avoid accidentally purchasing one

As mentioned before, I only purchased Shockwave as I gave up any hope of Hasbro / TakaraTomy ever reissuing him

This Sunstreaker I bought over several years - the body was bought before the KO Sunstreaker became available; all accessories were bought staggered over the same period however I only just completed it. I also ended up with doubles / triples of everything looking for that perfect Sunstreaker, some of which is now in the hands of 1AZRAEL1.
