As Saintly said, that is McDonalds Hot Shot - it's a Happy Meal Toy.Originally Posted by autobreadticon
Cool features about this toy:
+ Has a pull-back motor
+ Can merge with Happy Meal Optimus Prime, Red Alert and Smokescreen into a gestalt robot - I use the term "robot" loosely, but for a Happy Meal toy it's okay
+ Like all Armada Happy Meal toys, it has Powerlinx ports which means that you can actually attach Mini-Cons to it!
Hey I think g1 joe is cool I can’t find the reissues? Do they still sell them?

G1.. Joe?! (o_O) Are you talking about the Generation 1 Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover? There were never any special or exclusive toys made for that crossover as it was based on existing figures for both franchises - and some of the characters who appeared in that crossover have been reissued, but not with the crossover in mind. The G1 TF/Joe crossover was pretty forgettable. (-_-) The G2 TF/Joe crossover was infinitely better.
No I meant, do they still sell gi joe reissue? Also has g1 metroplex been reissued?

Hey mate that’s not a KO, at first I thought that seller was pretty fishy but there not KO, also I think Korean version just has a different box.

Quite a few of the Japanese Car Robots series (called Robots in Disguise by Hasbro) and Beast Era toys were produced and released in Korea in different packaging. The toys are supposedly exactly the same, but are often cheaper on ebay and online stores because the demand was for the Japanese *packaged* versions. I'm in that category, mostly because it just feels like cheap imitations, despite apparently being the exact same toy from the exact same chinese factories.

The Korean versions are the same toys. And they're legit. Transformers are distributed in South Korea by a company called Sonokong which imports them from Takara and repackages them for their local market and in the Korean language. The packaging and inserts are vastly inferior to Takara though - particularly with the tech spec cards which often:
1/ show incorrect vital stats
2/ are often packaged with the WRONG tech specs cards, or none at all!
Aside from packaging and inserts, the only Korean TF that I know of which has any substantial difference from the Japanese one is Brave Maximus which has the factory-applied Autobot insignia sticker put on upside down.
Metroplex has never been reissued.
GI Joe is not Transformers - if you have any questions regarding non-Transformers toy lines please post in the relevant section.

The Korean packaging is lacking in comparison to the Takara but that said above the American packaging. For instance, I know I wouldn't trade my JRX packaging for the US one or RiD Scourge for US one.
I also have a question, with the Robot Masters line, did they come package with tech spec cards?
