There's no way they were kit bashing in 1988, parts from a car that hadn't yet been in retail.

Indeed.

"TRANSFORMERS copyright 1999"
That's.. Coincidence.

Accidentally.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

It says copyright 1999 because that's the year the auction agency originally got this thing. The COA is not made by this guy, he got it along with this thing when he bought it back in 2000.

But "Transformers" wasn't copyrighted in 1999. It's the wrong date.
Regardless of what I hear, I've seen proof of concepts from the late 90's and this isn't something a Takara designer would do. I'll check out wether Bburago even was sold in Japan in 1988 ( or really 1998, which is what year the Takara designers would have traveled to in their time machine to get)
