Coming here at this section, seems like each bootleg toy have its own thread. I figured, why not start a thread just to show notable bootleg toys currently available in the bootleg flea markets in the different parts of the world. No selling of course. Just sightings.
let me start
currently available in some Philippine flea markets:
yup, its alternator nemesis prime bundled w/ the fp upgrade set.
I love having a good route around in charity shops, pound stores, car boot sales and websites for a good knock off Transformer!
They are great ways to complete or repair that damaged classic or fill in the odd gap on your shelf.
Whilst visiting my friend in Northampton (UK) I stuck my head in a cheap store and found a very flimsy orange Voltron style KO. He got binned!
Not into Voltron but the weapons which came with is what drew me to spending a quid.
A BFG in black plastic for my Classics Cliffjumper (you know the one) and a large sabre/sword which size wise fits in with Alternators or Voyagers (currently being weilded by Classics Jetfire! I will try and add a couple of pictures in a re-edit later?
I have my eye on one of those AlterationMan Nemesis Prime figures via Chimungmung which has more of a tradional Alternator packaging but also comes with the gastank/blaster upgrade!
Great idea for a thread which could help all us fans of transforming alien robots track down an affordable alternative and with the aid of private messaging no actual links need be posted!

* * * EDIT : Added a couple of rubbish photos of Classics Cliffjumper with his knock off BFG and KO Jetfire with a sword!
Red Alert is thinking about selling his blue BFG to Soundwave! Bumblebee kicks around the idea of becoming Bumblejumper? Comettor looks on anxiously!
Really liking my Roadbuster standing Ultra/Voyager/Alternator sized along side Alternator Mirage with a head swap from a white Alternator Hound KO. They pop on easy between each other!
Voyager Jetfire denies everything whilst RID Optimus Prime grabs the KO God Sword like a girl!
