This guy has been posted before, he's actually 2 knockoffs in one. First he's a Fake bumblebee, and second he's a knockoff of this guy:

The knockoff goes as far as packaging his engine/partner Rev with him.

Getaway returns in Yellow!
I haven't seen that variant of the Classics Megatron with light KO. The non light versions go for nearly as much as the proper version once shipping is calculated.
The good thing about both these KO's is that its fairly easy to tell that they are KO's because of the packaging.

Anyone know how they actually make some of the KOs that look close enough to the original? Like do they make their own molds after buying one of the figures or what? I've always wondered since I first saw a KO years ago.

Who in the world would even consider that first auction for a so called classic bumblebee that isn't anything like classic bumblebee, heck it isn't even a 78 movie bumblebee for that matter what a joke and did you see some of the other auctions that person had.

I think if these kos were sold as the manufacturers probably intended, in cheap ass shops who cant aford to stick real tfs, then no one would complain about em. Unfortunetly some money grabbing ebay seller has seen a way to rip off a few tf noobs, and hey presto, rip off knock offs.
