Has G1 Quickswitch been bootlegged??

Not accurately - all I know of is a KO Kabaya kit. If it looks like a Quickswitch and walks like a Quickswitch and quacks like a Quickswitch then chances are - it's a Quickswitch.

Quickswitch was used as a construction material in the late 80's / early 90's to build houses

Are you referring to the one pictured bottom right?



If you are, it is virtually the same as the hardcover Generations book with less content e.g. artwork.

yeh thanks, but the one i am thinking of getting has a gold optimus prime toy in that same pose , the book is in Chinese
is it an official book?

I believe that's the Chinese language version of Transformers Generations. No idea if it's licensed or not. Interesting to see the title is 変形金剛聖経 (henkeikingouseikyou) which translates as "Transformation Hard Gold Bible"

that's exactly the same as the one with the colour Prime picture. It's a KO, its not official. If you can read Chinese, its great (since I can't read Japanese). I believe all the text has been translated fairly accurately (again, I can't read Jap on the original Generations book, but the Chinese translations are fairly sensible).

I have both versions and in this gold version, the images are all slightly off (very slightly). I suspect the KO-ers ripped up a copy of Generations, scanned it in, and photoshopped the Chinese text in.
