His constant denial (ex: refuting photographic evidence) and inconsistent attitude really makes me think this is all a big joke.

So I recommend we stop wasting our time commenting and let this thread die.

I'm right here you know jerk I think your the troll the point of the thread was me getting an amazing deal and letting other people know that it is possible to get great prices in transformers and not pay the ridiculous Takara mark up can you tell my what optimus KO has a trailer ? and what mastepriece Megatron ? He doesn't have a KO

Who wouldn't want a bargain? No self respecting collector would want to pass up an offer of a life time?

In ebay, fortunately, all my vintages g1 purchases are 100% original. But "Loyal to the End", I have many regrets in relation to the MP series, one of which is skipping the MP cars and Rodimus Convoy (the latter being a walking time bomb whose shoulders are literally ready to explode). WJ is my 1st aside from Takara/Tomy Optimus,SW, Megs,MP-01,Grimlock and the cassettes and looking how great he came out

If indeed it's a conscious choice on your part to buy a KO fine. But the basic gist of all the posters in the thread is warning you it's a K.O. so buyer beware. Also, if you support the unofficial KO products (3rd party re imagined figures are kind of a gray area), then Tomy will not have an incentive to make them. In fact, it already has spoiled the market with a lot of KO Sideswipes and the Datsun cars. Who suffers? Us collectors.

MP-05, well, as previously mentioned, a planned mini KO was in the works Did it get manufactured, your guess is as good as mine. So maybe you are safe with Megs but if you are in Australia, I heard that you need a special permit to own MP-05. Good luck then.

Thanks I appreciate the well thought out response but as I said it's not a KO as it comes with a trailer.

Sorry, it's the KO Optimus

It's even the KO Optimus box, I was thinking of the old MP 01 KO with the chrome battle mask when I thought the box was a different deal.
And if it does come with the trailer, why won't you show us a pic of it? Instead of just pics of the KO?

Well, go ahead and buy it. See for yourself and don't forget to post that review.

Also- calling people jerks is not helping anyone. If you're that convinced, just do it. Don't ignore the comment by the others, it's free advice.

Maybe it hasn't been delivered yet? Hopefully Loyal to the End posts a pic once it arrives.

ive watched and read enough reviews of the KO MP10 (for replacement parts) and seriously, thats a KO. everyones said it, and given definite evidence. also, the trailer hasnt been KO'd?

looky looky



wrong colors. but its been KO'd.

That's not such a great deal if it's a KO.

That's an AOE Ko trailer it just happens to fit all figures it's still $60 so on the off chance it's a KO it's still a great deal.

Nope, not AOE, it is a KO of the MP10 trailer, you can tell by the detailing on the inside, the way the ramp works, and by clicking the link at looking at all the other pictures of it clearly being the MP 10 trailer in wacky colours. Neat though.
If the seller does include that you've made a good deal as far as KOs do, since the MP10 KO goes for like 130 by itself at most sellers, but still not a good deal if you wanted an MP.

So.. the trailer that came with AoE Leader Optimus Prime and Sideswipe has been retooled from the MP-10 version? Or did they use the MP-4 version?

Didn't know that set existed, but yes, the trailer in that is an ugly repaint of the MP 10 trailer, and looking at the auction again, the guy's selling the trailer loose from the set.

But yes, it'S still the same trailer as MP10, just in wacky colours.

thanks dead metal. you saved me more research, as i was 99% sure that was an MP10 trailer but wouldv had to prove it.

so LTTE, how deep does your denial go? im not to be rude, but its like arguing with someone about humans breathing oxygen, while you say "nuh uh, we clearly breathe marshmallows".

To paraphrase Shockwave in Command Performances

".............he has made his decision, he'll either live with it or die for it.........."

Hopefully he'll also post pics to dispel our concerns, if not, well it's his money.......

And have they arrived? How's the trailer?
