A little off topic, but I might actually persuaded to buy it if it WERE affiliated with this site. The price for 3rd party figures is starting to get ludicrous. If seibertron.com produced even one figure, I could see them making a killing on it, simply due to user loyalty.

Nonetheless, this is the sort of thing that's going to make me mourn KOTOYS.com from now on. Some bold company needs to copy this in a wide variety of colors if it's strictly an exclusive.

You just drank a KO. Ever had your ink cartridges refilled for ten bucks instead of giving HP $18.99 ? You just paid someone to build you a KO. Have you ever paid for a Philly Cheesesteak that was not made in Philadelphia ? You just ate a KO of the city's intellectual property and crapped it out of your a**.
Somehow all this is ok but KO toys is considered evil by most TF collectors for commiting the ultimate crime: Giving fans what they want at affordable prices.
Although I was impressed with the War for Cybertron Shockwave thats coming down the pipeline

Incorrect - a KO of Coke would be if someone stole the recipie off Coke, copied it and sold under the Coke logo for 50% less. What you're justifying is what most of us already have - Third Party Products. Sam's Choice Cola vs Coke is like FansProject's Defender vs Springer. Similar enough to the popular brand, but different enough to avoid lawsuits.
Also off topic, but interesting - HP (and other printing giants) doesn't have a copyright on their ink, but instead a copyright (or trademark, whatever) on the electronic signature OF their ink, hence why when you plug in authentic HP ink into a printer it knows all the details; but may give you an incorrect or no reading if there's a no-name ink brand in there instead.

Well you’re right about the cola, but that is because cola is over 100 years old. If Sam’s Choice came out in 1900 when only Coke existed, it would be considered a KO. I suppose for whatever reason, nobody owns a patent for “cola”. So anyone can change up the recipe ever so slightly and legally copy Coke.
As far as printer cartridges, HP may not have a copyright on ink, but they don’t authorize companies to refurbish their cartridges for profit. The refurbished cartridges are an unauthorized copy of an official HP product. So even though they are not made from scratch at a factory, theoretically they are KO’s.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

Honestly people this thing looks hideous.
