Why beware getting a KO Prime? You all should know that if there are no Transformers writing and it's mostly in chinese/Transformer style writing/or any other writing, that means it's fake. If you don't know hiw to differentiate a KO and the original by the box, don't call yourself a Transformer fan!

7 year old necro? Must have too much free time in your hands. By the by, even the official HasTak packaging have Chinese fonts.

And the statement about not knowing any better and name calling is really trolling/flamebait.

Some of our compatriots purchase via ebay where quite a few of the vendors are hustlers who'd stick you with a KO without raising a sweat. This is what this thread is FOR! Though there are others who'd still blindly get a KO but that is another story.

Already told the mods. Probably a bot.

Sometimes its not that easy.

Can you tell this is fake? It is, hence why we make these threads to warn people.

This kid has obviously never seen a KO outside of the junk you find at flea markets like those shown in the main post lol. Do your homework before you make lame comments.

Miss my mod days
I'd have locked this necro and deleted the bot.

Not really

Yeah these ko mps are the same quality and sometimes better then the originals. I own all the ko autobot mps and only 2 have minor paint app issues which even the originals have problems with. I still believe that these are not kos but factory rejects or made with factory rejected parts.

Yes, it looks silmilar to a photo on TFW2005

Interesting. Did you get them off e-bay, and if so, from which seller?

The TRANSFORMERS writing became TAIKONGSHENRS instead

Then question the buyer's naivete or literacy. As I also mentioned in my post, some other collectors chose to be blind. Those are hopeless cases who refuse to be helped otherwise

And, like maybe quit necroing 5 year old threads unless there really is a point in doing so.
