Will wonders never cease. Nothing is sacred in the world of Transformers and this remains true with the latest revelation of news coming from our friends at Fans Project.

It seems that the Shadow Commander upgrade set for the 2008 San Diego Comic Conventions Nemesis Prime has been remade into an aftermarket knock off! A host of pictures were posted over at Fans Project's website showing the differences between the original upgrade kit and the cheap bootleg.

To see all the images detailing the differences, click here.

You just have to wonder...

Why knock-off Shadow Commander? You can still buy it from online stores.

What's the point anyway? I mean FansProject doesn't even make money. Besides it's still in stock :-?

To screw BBTS over with a cheaper product available outside their store.

No no no, thank YOU for telling us my good friend. The guys over at Fans Project work too damn hard and put out a fine product. Its one thing for HASBRO to get the KO affect, heck to a degree I think they want it to happen, but for a group of TF fans like ourselves who just want to make our Transformers even more awesome to have to deal with this crap is just plain stupid.

I own the City Commander set and the Powered Commander with plans to get Shadow Commander when I can afford him and now I gotta look out to make sure I don't buy this KO piece of crap.

BBTS is over 100 with shipping. How much is the KO? Where can I get one? What about the seller from Japan on ebay selling ones with damaged boxes? Are they the real ones?

What's the matter with you? I mean seriously FansProject works their asses off to make a quality product and they don't make any money and you WANT TO BUY THE KNOCK-OFF TO SAVE MONEY? GOOD GOD! Seriously, give FansProject the money they deserve.

Agreed. FansProject doesn't deserve to be screwed over like this and I've got a problem with anyone who would encourage and/or support the people who are pulling this stunt. Yeah, I've been over on the KO threads today and I have not exactly been discouraging the practice against Hasbro but this is on a totally different level in my book.
1) Hasbro can take the hit
2) Hasbro has it coming
3) Most of them worth getting are releases of past, no longer in production items.

What these guys have done to FP is so unconscionable that even seeing the folks responsible get sued would not be satisfying enough for me. I believe that in some countries still, the punishment for stealing involves the loss of a hand. I think that would be a good start...
