It looks to me like it's a KO more or less. It could be a custom like the seller in the auction says, but I'd venture a guess it's something from the KO makers.
Either way, it's nicely done, but not worth the money asked.

Posted: Mon Jun 18, 2007 10:37 pmim betting it is a KO. if it was a reissue, itd be in a different box.

Seeing as the ONLY reissue of him to come out so far was a knock off in the g1 colours, it's so unlikly that this is anything other than a knock off too I'm utterly surprised people have even brought the question up.
No doubt about, this be a knock off. Not a bad looking one, but a knock off none the less.
Posted: Tue Jun 19, 2007 3:10 amI hate that "safety" duckbill that's on his beak.
Didn't the Diaclone (better) mold have it more sharp?
Why make a clone figure, but leave safety junk on?
Like, if you were to clone a Kickback figure, you likely wouldn't want the safety rounded wings of the US version, right?

Posted: Tue Jun 19, 2007 3:37 amThe question of is it fake, obviously it is.
That aside, I might have to get this. After getting the Black KO Prime, I am in love with the black redeco KOs.

Tis the lack of shininess what invade yon eyeballs.
Posted: Tue Jun 19, 2007 3:50 amHeh, f the black one. The seller has Diaclone and anime colored Swoops as well. Damn, I am going to have to get the anime one. It looks awesome.
Posted: Tue Jun 19, 2007 4:20 amAs cool as that anime one is... that **** duckbill is killing it for me.

Nothing a little surgery can't fix.
Posted: Tue Jun 19, 2007 4:36 amThat..."duckbill" is part of the original mold. Seeing as this is a direct 1:1 copy, the new figure would remain true to the original.

Surgery.
Hahahaha, oh, yeah right.
Surgery.
THIS surgery was supposed to just be the simple application of a Decepticon symbol:
Does that look "little" to you? Hmm HMM HMM?

It matches the godawful US nose, not the original mold before USA child safety junk.

OK, heres a tip, Don't use the grill as a work surface!
How the hell did you go from putting on a sticker to...THAT?
Posted: Tue Jun 19, 2007 5:13 amLolz notice how everything you see in a toy/card series that is shiny most of the time is fake!
Posted: Tue Jun 19, 2007 5:25 amPoint to note. I have read the KO Swoop does cip easily especially on the chrome. I'd imagine these are the same. So, this would be display only.

Um...that's what I said. It matches the original. As in the US original. I owned him, I know the "duckbill" is there. I've never owned, nor actually looked at a Japanese version, in depth so I wouldn't know if it would have it or not. Going based on what I owned, I was correct in saying it is a 1:1 copy of the original. Not to mention, he obviously used the American and not the Japanese mold for his basis, so again...I was correct.
Thank you, come again!*
