Buyers Beware: KO Mechtech Trailer (DOTM Optimus Prime)

DreamersImperial wrote:Also, you said that it was available now. So....where?

Oh, and michael....that made NO sense.

First off, what's wrong with buying 3rd party if they make a good product? Secondly, there's absolutely nothing wrong with buying a KO if the quality is just as good as its legit counterpart. And since I don't see Hasbro making us a Voyager-sized trailer for here in the states, and most people would rather not spend 100 bucks for the Takara version, this is a pretty reasonable substitute. The way I see it, it's Hasbro's loss for not delivering on something the FANS want. I don't see how either of these makes us FANS any less such. But nice try, here's your cookie.

EVER WONDER Why HASBRO/TOMY won't do a Masterpiece Devastator ,maybe cause no one would buy it since they already spent $600 ,on a 3rd party RIP OFF .

I currently only own the ROTF Leader Prime, so can anyone tell me which Prime this trailer would attach to, or be adapted to???

Do you even know what you're talking about? Third parties put their heart and soul into engineering a fantastic combiner that's quality. It's far from ever being close to a rip off. You need to start doing research before you start throwing everything under the same tag.

I am not loyal to any particular toy company.

I am loyal to the Transformers legacy. (Meaning it’s characters in their purest unaltered form)

If Hasbro/Takara wants to keep a character on the shelf for 20 years and Joe Blow wants to resurrect it by any means necessary, then send me Joe Blow’s paypal address.

If Hasbro/Takara charge an arm and a leg but Bugs Bunny makes an affordable quality KO, Then what’s up doc ???

You defend Hasbro as being the victims of theft, but what about the jobs Hasbro has stolen from the US economy by outsourcing they’re factories to China ???

Are you implying that only corporate interests should be allowed to save a lot of money through cheap labor ??? Why not fans too ???
