Yeah, both what you mentioned of the box writing and the copyright stamp all match up with mine, which I know is not a knockoff.

It's probably the Asian market released version.

Just saw this KO on Ebay, and I immediately freaked out a little.

Please PLEASE tell me someone knows what this is a KO of. They're kind of like Duocons...but not apparently.

I've had this since I was a kid, a friend of mine gave it to me with Slimestone (who I had no idea what it was until I started collecting last year, lol), but I never knew what it was until now.

I found a review of the KOs. They're clearly different from what I have. The KO is all the same blue plastic, with different stickers.

Also, I still have no idea where this gun came from, it has a 5mm post though. Optimus Primal holds it quite well.

As an aside, the guy also has a KO Victory Leo if anyone is looking for it.

6 is Astroscope's missile.

3 belongs to one of the G2 Cyberjets. It's impossible to tell since half of them have yellow missiles, lol.

And yes, that horn belongs to Transmetal Rhinox, not sure which deco though.

They look ALMOST like Rampage's guns... but they're missing the vents on the rear sides (inside the slanted hexegon thing on the back), and the 'laser sights' on top are shaped wrong. The handle also looks a little long...

http://www.tfu.info/1986/Decepticon/Rampage/rampage.htm <- Compare to the picture here, and you'll see what I mean.

Meanwhile, looking here ( http://www.transformerland.com/identify ... rmers.html ) to see if I can find them. If I can't, it's possible they may be knockoff guns. It's also possible they are Reissue guns, and for some reason the hands / guns of the reissue don't match the original for some reason.

Hello!

I just purchased a:

TAKARA TRANSFORMERS BT-14 WHEELJACK

Does anyone know what the tell tale signs are for a KNOCK OFF of this?

Cheers!

Can someone help me identify this small autobot? From the size I thought it might be a minicon.

P.S. Sorry if the quality proves low.

My friend, that's a Micromaster called Missile Run, part of Sixwing.

Rather, it's a Knock-Off of him, it's not the real deal. How big is he? Real Micromasters are about 2 inches tall.

Well, after looking some pictures of this Missile Run you mentioned, I think it might be the same mold, although the one on my pics seems to be missing the lower part.

Thanks for your help.

I got this awhile back from a garage sale, and i just can't figure out how to transform it back into whatever it's supposed to be. i looks mostly like a jet, but the chest looks a little like a truck?

my only clues are that is has it has copyrights for takara 2005 and hasbro 2005. i got nothing after i tried googling the only numbers i saw, so not sure if they mean anything. 82641 and C-2949C.

but a picture is worth a thousand words.

thanks everyone.

That's actually Universe 2.0 Blaster, a repaint of Cybertron / Galaxy Force Soundwave. The "truck" chest was actually an attempt to look like a tape deck chest.

A few quick notes. 1) It's a bit of a pain to transform, but once you get it lined up right, it looks sooo good. 2) The knee ratchets will make your life hell, so it's worth shaving them down a bit; I haven't personally done this to mine, but the person I'd bought mine from did it to the left knee but not the right for some reason. xD

Hello,

I just purchased and received a supposed MISB BT-14 Wheeljack form TFSource.

Slight problem.

I please need someone to help me identify whether this is a knock-off or authentic.

Most of the box SEEMS authentic. However, one side of the box is for a different toy altogether (a BT-10).

Can someone please verify for me whether this is a authentic or knock-off.

PLEASE NOTE:
The attached photos are from the very same, one box.

Cheers,

Battle Arena.

A packaging misprint is very unlikely, if not impossible, on genuine product, so you may have a bootleg there. I'm also seeing tampographs not aligning properly, which is another feature of a cheap fake.

by **battle_arena** » Thu Jan 03, 2013 10:16 pm

Thanks JelZe GoldRabbit.

Does anybody else out there have an authentic Transformers Binaltech BT-14 Wheeljack?

Does the bottom of your box mention the BT-10 Grimlock?

Cheers,

BattleArena.

Agreed, that's certainly one of the pair of missiles for the dual launcher.
