I found this and stupidly bought it to add to my growing Autobot Leaders collection:

After purchasing it, I noticed several differences between the 6 inch toy, and the 8 inch:

1. 8 inch rifle is blue, 6 inch is grey
2. 8 inch axe is blue, 6 inch is orange
3. 6 inch toy has the autobot symbol on Convoy's right shoulder, the 8 inch toy has the indentation, but no detail

I just got screwed, didn't I? =P

Its a KO, and from what I've heard not a very high quality one either.

Still, just $20 for figure and shipping. At least you didn't lose your shirt.

Not to sound harsh, but all the variances you list are clearly visible in the pictures provided on EBay.
That and the fact that most toys don't get legitimate releases in two different sizes should have warned you that this was probably a KO.

Yup, that's a KO. A nice lookin' one though. You should tell us how the quality is, I'd like to get one.

I had posted a gallery and write up about this KO about a year ago (gone now due to the last wipe). The figure is not to shabby but the neck has no suposrt at all and therefor either fall forward or back, if you notice its like that in all pictures. Other then the ehad issues (I used some model clay to stiffen it up so it can stand straight) the figure is not to bad at all! It is a perfect blown up RM and I paid the same amount.

I also have a KO RM Starscream that is slightly bigger then the real RM Starscream version. Even comes with a small red light in the cockpit.

And hey by the way welcome to Seibertron.com FZStrider! Enjoy your stay with us, and beware of all the "nuts".

Thanks, I've been coming to Seibertron for a few years now but this is the first time I've become part of the actual community.

And I'll be repainting/stickering him as much as I can til he looks a little more official. The neck thing I'm not too worried about since most of the poses my TFs are in either have them looking up, or slightly down (Like the figure in the auction). (Strangely, all my TFs are right handed too >.>; )
