New Transformers Knockoff Thread

Do you love your new Hercules set? Can't get enough of FansProject's items? Upset that you bought a knock off when you thought you were getting an original? Use this forum to tell everyone your thoughts about unlicensed and knock off TF products.

Sunstorm

Thrust

Ramjet

Thundercracker
http://cgi.ebay.com/Transformers-KO-Thu ... dZViewItem

Are these news, or ancient history? Considering the availability of Thundercracker and Ramjet, they hardly seem worthwhile, but an avid collector might feel happy to find Thrust or "Sunstrom." If these appear at a lower price, I might consider those two.

i'm an old-school KO collector, been at it for 10 years now. I have a very horrible website i haven't updated in awhile, lol. i've been back into collecting KO after a couple years hiatus preparing to go back to college.

love how international this thread is compared to other forums.

i have a small stock of OLD/RARE KO stuff i would love to trade for similar old/rare stuff from korea and taiwan, just email or PM me if you want to work out a deal. seems lots of you guys have really good stuff.

Welcome to Seibertron! I've actually come across your page in my online searches for info about various bootlegs -- nice source, even if it could use an update and some polishing. :)

Wes Crayon have you seen the gold color "Snap Trap" knockoff? I would trade my BW II Gigastorm for it. Also, Welcome to Seibertron.com Jason Jupiter and I've too been to your website. Some of these Knock off's brings back memories when I was a child many moons ago...

Honestly, I haven't seen any of the cool and/or rare knockoffs -- most of what I come across are the standard cheap Big Lots/Family Dollar/Dollar Tree fare. As always, though, I will keep my eyes peeled!

I just picked this up from Big Lots last night:

The mold is a bit off and the pastic is shoddy. Also, as far as I know, the head doesn't turn like the original Lio Convoy. I think I might want to repaint this to look like the original.

Oddly enough, although the Big Lots version of the toy has no name (Beast Tech Robot Righter series), another packaging variant calls him "Prowl".

In the BW Wave1, there was a lion called Prowl, if I'm correct.

Yes, I think that's what they were thinking of. SOmetimes knockoffs call him Prowl, and sometimes they call any bat "Optimus Primal", because there was an Optimus Primal bat. Once I saw Beast Machines Nightscream called Optimus Primal.

This KO looks more like the robot master lio convoy, IMO.

I wish the Big Lots near me had one of these. Oh well, since I already have a RM lio convoy, i probably will pass anyways.

I've seen the fire engine variant of Onslaught before on ebay, but it's been over a year since it was last there. I wish I had purchased it. There is also a dump truck variant of Onslaught out there, in fact Cook Brothers in CHicago advertises it among their toys.

I found this knockoff of Armada Optimus Prime today with the weirdest thing, It has a picture of Movie Optimus in the chest where the Matrix goes!

Weirder still is his partner "Bumblebee", which is a bastardized yellow knockoff Armada Smokescreen!

impressive that even with the huge amount of boring looking KOs of the combaticons someone has managed to make some interesting ones. The all truck team looks cool, actually having viable disguises for everyday travel, and if I didn't like red fire truck Onslaught before (which I did) the last pic with his "I'm Optimus Prime, honest guv!" chest plate makes me wuv him.

I find it both a little cute and a little disturbing to know that the otherwise decent Aramada Optimus has a locket with a picture of his more famous brother in it.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

Can anone tell me if the Gats Blocker KO is good quality plastic? I love Diaclones and I'm really interested in this. And by chance are there other Diaclone KOs?
