Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

Heck, it wouldnt bother me if the stamped "knock off" where "Hasbro" used to be. It's not like my collection is going to be inspected by my visitors. I have it for display purposes, and nothing attracts attention better than something "retro".

Sure they'd probably need to reverse engineer a couple older degraded molds but still... And they'd get the chance to secure 6 names (7 with the Constructicons) at once. Combiners are great play value and have great potential as reissue/repaint fodder, too. Just look at RiD Ruination.

I don't think it's all that difficult to tell the KOs from the real thing either. Certainly there's a few examples that prove otherwise, but most packaged examples are quite different. If Hasbro/Takara want to stop these guys, then that's their right, as its those companies the KO sellers are theoretically stealing money from.
