    Default Is this an official reissue or KO Computron?

    Anyone know if this is an official reissue or KO Computron gift set ? I do remember there being some scuttlebut about KO Computron and Abominus sets cropping up about 10 months ago

    Cheers for the help, Big Angry Trev

    I didn't think this set had been reissued

    Hasn't been a modern remake of this set.

    Front shown doesn't match one of the known fakes, but I'd bet money the back would prove it's the other.

    It's as real as Lance Armstrong's Tour De France wins and his second ball.

    Isn't 'Remake' online store jargon for knock-off?

    I bought a KO Computron off eBay years ago not know ing that there were KO's of that sort of thing. it was pretty poor quality. mold flash and gaps all over the place. it was nice to know what the toy design was like though as I'd never seen any of the technobots before in my life.

    Yeah, I got a KO sent to me that was half Terrorcons and half Technobots. They were crap! Went and bought an official Hun-Grrr and he was nearly twice the size of the KO.

    Cheers guys for helping me make sure I didn't waste my money

    If you need to verify the authenticity of an item or get an idea for what's been KO'd, Trev, i find this site highlighting the differences in the Computron giftset quite useful
