You got to love when knockoffs come packed with BFGs that the figures can't actually hold in any way.

Its like they just like to add superfluous weaponry for the heck of it.

Damn that USB Ravage!!! I knew I shouldn't have gotten it! Oh well, mybe if the price is right I will pick up the KO and sell the real!

I have no regrets with my real device label Ravage... I don't think you shouldn't have such feeling too

besides it's an empty shell and you can't use it as usb drive, the separate unit will cost you more (although with more memory

)

I don't use it as a USB drive, just as Ravage, and mine had a program glitch so there is no sound effects on the program. Ravage roars but nothing happens. Maybe if I remove and re-install it. Anywho, I really just wanted it for the Ravage part.

Anyone know where I could get one of these for a good price?

I've never bought from that site and can't read chinese. I would love an MP Prime but can't afford a legit one.

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.

I recently got the bootleg Pirhanacons. Sadly I didn't see Snap Trap. Anyone here in "the know" if Snap Trap was ever bootlegged? Thanks.

i would try to get a legit MP Prime. That toy is flat out one of the best toys ever made -any era, any toy line/brand. Outstanding. The 25th anniv. dvd version released in the US in target & walmart, shouldn't be that much. Worth every penny. Just don't pay way over 100 bux though

It seems that even that one goes for over $100. I just can't justify spending that kind of money at this time. Plus my wife would probably kill me.

try TFsource.com and bigbadtoystore.com. Or just be patient on ebay. U might wind up with one for a nice price. Well worth the wait if u have the patience. Good luck. Hey try this -- Takara version, new:

Umm, that's THS Prime, NOT MP Convoy. TOTALLY different fig, both in size and style.

by **Optimal_Rodimus** » Thu Jan 21, 2010 8:20 pm

Thats not to say theres anything wrong with THS Prime. He is quite a nice little figure. Little being the key word.

KO Thundercracker + KO Skywarp + screwdriver = Thundercraker (almost)

This is just parts swaping, no paint whatsoever!

Now I regreat KO DL Ravage, he is versized and has a gapping hole in the middle of his back.

Worth it if you don't have the original to compare to, but it does have great tight joints and is a perfect, albeit larger, copy.

No big deal. I am finding it surprising how hard it is to find that knock off though.

So, what parts did you use?
From what I can see, the body and head of skywarp, right?
