this guys has been selling the spike and sparkplug figures for relatively cheap compared to what other people ask for these (around $30). if it was a one time thing, itd be cool. but even though he says this is limited, this guy cranks out a new auction for 9.99 these as soon as the other is one sold. so far ive seen four go for relatively cheap than what these go for. is this guy just giving people one good deal or is he selling KOs of these?

They're unoffical but not knock offs. No one's ever made Spike or Sparkplug before including Hasbro.

yea, i know theyre made by impossible toys.... but i was wondering if this guy made or acquired KOs of these cause he has so many for pretty cheap prices. but they seem legit.

You could always do an editorial of them if it turns out they ripped you off with a Knock Off.

No worries. They are the real deal. I bought my Spike & Sparkplug from that Ebay seller along with my Quintesson figure. He's legit and so are his toys.
Here's some pics of my Spike & Sparkplug with some classics and G1:

Same here. They are good little figures, so don't worry.

Actually there is a "real" spike figure he came with bumblebee in the heroes of cybertron line.

yup, i got one of these too. imo he's not that great. poorly painted and zero articulation.

Yeah, i got them at Botcon. They're ok. They mildly resemble the characters they are supposed to and have almsot no articulation. However, theyre worth a pickup if you can get them for under 20. I paid 35 at Botocn, and I felt they really were not worth that much.
And also, Spike was done before, as a PVC fig.
