Is this thing legit?

So I was browsing through eBay, looking for a Nemesis Prime, when I stumble upon this little number.

The seller claims that it's "100% Authentic", but it doesn't appear on TFWiki.

So, my question is, is this an actual 'former, or another cheap knockoff?
Pick-up List:
Henkei Dinobot (TOP PRIORITY)
Energon Scorponok
Generations Voyager Blitzwing
2007 Leader Optimus Prime
Fall of Cybertron Voyager Soundwave
Fall of Cybertron Legends 2-pack: Ravage and Rumble
Fall of Cybertron Voyager Grimlock
Prime Voyager Dreadwing

It's not on TFU.info because it hasn't been released yet. On TFWiki, try looking under Motormaster, the guy he's intended to be. The "Motormaster" name can't be trademarked by Hasbro, this is his current replacement name.
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for Arms Microns, especially Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Preparing to move to the US!

What about "The Motormaster" like he's called in the 2011 BotCon set?

You just answered your own question. Just "Motormaster" is a no go, but "The Motor Master", with two added spaces, is perfectly fine, according to trademark law.

Correct. My question wasn't whether "The Motormaster" was right, it was why did they not use that instead of "Motorbreath."

It sounds too "flashy", like a Marvel hero or villain. ;)

No worries, haha. This is just one of the formerly Asia-exlusive figures. There are some deluxes (Wheelie, Springer, etc.) and a few voyagers as well.
