I'm sorry but this auction just screams KO

If I recall correctly, didn't the Jafcon Primes have a gold shield on the package. I don't mind if people sell KO's on Ebay but say it's a KO in the auction. It looks like the 8 or so the guy has going on Ebay are going for KO prices as the most he's getting looks like about $45.

You're correct. It *is* a bootleg. And the Jafcon Convoy, does, in fact have gold trim where the silver is on this and the original.

In all honesty...you could technically consider it a reissue. Why?
1.) It's a perfect 1:1 copy of the original, the quality is around a C-9.
2.) It's made with the original Hasbro molds. (Hasbro sold them off when the sold off their Chinese factory. The current company has every right to use the molds, considering they purchased them. The only thing they're doing wrong is using the trademarks.)

Reprolabels.com has a sticker set for it. Decepticon decal motif for Nemesis Prime fans. I just got Encore Optimus Prime, perhaps if I could find the Black KO cheap enough I'd spring for it and decals.
