More bad news for you G1 collectors out there. Looks like more knockoffs are being unleashed in the Transformers community. According to reports from Seibertron.com member capellamusic, the seller of the KO Shockwave we reported on here is also planning to sell KO's of G1 twin Sunstreaker and Decepticon triple changer Octane! This may be the first time Octane has ever seen a KO release.

But that's not all. Another seller over at ioffer has posted a G1 Superion KO set in what appears to be g1 packaging. KO's of the G1 gestalts have been available almost everywhere but usually come in a generic package.



Be cautious when purchasing your G1 figs Seibertronians. When in doubt, refer to our official Identifying KO's Thread for more information on Transformers KO's.

Seibertron.com member s250 has posted a image and gave us a titbit of information. He states that just recently the assembly lines of a Has/Tak factory has seen a run of Energon Shockblast figures. But in the original Energon colors so it's not a repaint.
Is this a 25th anniversary Energon Shockblast/Shockwave?



As the only confirmation we have is a photo we should tell you to take this with a grain of salt.
