Was just gonna post the image, but not sure how. Here is a link to one being sold at bigbadtoystore. I've seen them cheaper, but it was the easiest place I knew I could find one. It says Takara so I think we are talking about the same one. Thanks for the reply!

Yup, that's the real deal. Its The Encore Line from Takara I mentioned.
Its the current line, and Takara is still putting out more figures in that line. The newest figure in the line right now is G1 Skids.

They are Japanese Exclusives, so you won't see them in retail stores anywhere but in Japan.

BBTS is a good place to get them though a little over priced, but its worth it for the service and security you get from them.

And you can check all the Encore line-up on the official TakaraTomy Transformers site:

And directly to Encore:

If you are outside USA, like me, I suggest etoysjapan.com, hlj.com and robotkingdom.com instead of bbts.com.

Found a new Alt Silverstreak KO on E-Bay repainted like Bumblebee:

The Body is mostly Smokescreen's as is the head. The Spoiler however is Silverstreak's.

With that said I think it looks kind of cool.

Did you notice the Alt BB's sellers other items?!

a Motormaster in this style, Alternators or whatever they are called --would be cool!

Hey Seibertronians I've been doing some thinkin'. Have there been any known KO's of the "e-Hobby" versions? I recently got a hold of Overcharge and Insecticons and I couldn't help but wonder every now and then. I got them both at my local collectible dealer and I was so stoked at the moment that I never considered the idea at first.

Thanks in advance for the feedback!!

there are a few knock off transformers at my local dollar store that looked decent (for knock-offs), I may pick some up.

p.s. I purchased a knock off G1 devastator for 15 and it looks almost identical to the real deal!
