Found these while poking around on E-bay, hadn't seen them posted here.

I'd buy that sunstreaker in a heartbeat.

I know it's very tempting, there listed as coming soon, so no word on the price. I have a Sunstreaker that's in decent shape and no Wheeljack at all. May have to pick these guys up if the price isn't too outrageous. I have heard they will be more than KO Mirage.

I used to have a real Wheeljack back in 84. I might and I mean might get this one.

Well now nothing is sacred. Time to pony up the cash for an original Wheeljack soon before the market is flooded with "complete loose" versions that are of unauthenticated origins. Glad I picked up Sunstreaker several years ago.

What the heck is that? Looks like something from a cheap power rangers line. Don't think it even transforms.

On Topic:

Liking Suntreaker, but that Wheeljack looks really cheap.

these look bad to the bone, i just hope (like you guys said) that they dont show up on ebay as originals along the line....I never cared for wheeljack myself but i always thought sunstreakers mold was pretty slick.

If these appeared as cheap and clearly differentiated alternatives to the originals, I'd have no problem. I might even get one. They're clearly marked to pass for originals, however, and they'll likely command the ridiculous prices of many KOs these days. Too bad, since Wheeljack's one of the G1 characters I'm missing and would most like to have.

That Sunstreaker looks great. That's one KO I'd buy anytime.

hmmmm....those two look odd to me. If they are brand new and on ebay, why do they have stickers on them? Also, I tried to find them on ebay and could not anything.... :-?

I have won/bought items from Spirit of Cybertron on ebay before. They do offer good shipping at reasonable rates at least.

I only wish that the packaging for these were not G1 styled.
I don't mind the KO being available, but don't like the fact they are so easy to promote as an official reissue.
That being said I would consider getting these. They are toys that I would like to have with the originals always being sniped from me in the last seconds of an auction.

You couldn't find them because they are not available yet. I just stumbled upon them while searching for a KO Mirage, they were listed as coming soon on one of their other auctions. I will probably get Wheeljack. Spirit of Cybertron is the seller.

I really need those two, if I'm ever to complete the '84 line.

I'm guessing they'll sell for $65USD or something equally obscene?

They might be painted on or decals like the Mirage. I hope that is the case since that would look so much better and would also make it easier to tell these ones from an original.

hmmm....if that is the case, then the rub symbol might need to be removed.
