Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

That's a bit steep.

Well then there is this one on ebay in Sydney for $60 posted. Not going to get a MISB one much cheaper than that.

Can someone guide me to a place where I can get DOTM Leader Class Sentinel for a cheap price?

Be weary, I got mine off ebay ($60~ total). And either it's made terribly bad, or it's fake. The box feels extremely cheap, but looks legit. And the figure looks legit but can't transform if it's life depended on it. I had to remove the electronics and cut away some plastic just to make him stand in robot mode. He does look good at least.. I'm just clueless if he's authentic or not.

There are 4 MP-03's. The first which was green. The second was Hasbro's and has weathering. 3rd was Takara's USA edition which has weathering and some people got more weathering than the Hasbro version, others got less. Finally there is the clear ghost version. You can tell the Hasbro and Takara USA edition from each other cause the Takara one has a Decepticon logo on the nose that the Hasbro version is missing.

Mine is grey, has weathering (a fair bit of it.. kinda looks dirty), the Decepticon logo on the nose cone and weathering.. so according to what DELTAprime is saying.. what i got is a Takara MP-3?

I did notice some differences between Skywarp and Ghost Starscream to the MP-3 in the body.

quick diaclone question....

is there such a thing as a G1 skywarp diaclone? I know about thundercracker and starscream... but couldn't find any info on if there was a pre transformers skywarp.

i'm looking at one on ebay... that says it's diaclone, any idea's?

thanks

Skywarp wasn't released as a Diaclone figure.

[janda the red]

that's what the info i'd just found was telling me, I wonder what this guy thinks he's selling then?

he's calling it a diaclone skywarp....

[Sinnertwin]

is it from wheeljackslab?
Lets say Skywarp was a Diaclone release. It wouldnt be an original anyway - the wings mold for example is from the Hasbro Seekers.

[janda the red]

yeah that's the one sinner... I should of posted a link

seeing it just got me curious.

thanks for replying mate

I know it's not a perfect way to tell a Diaclone/Microman from a Transformer as they are stickers but I normally say if it's got a Bot or Con logo it's not a Diaclone.

The Tower of Pion. Pronounced pie-on, or pee-on?
