Just got back from dallas comic-con and picked up some intresting transformers items. I dont know much about them but none of them were really expensive and they all look cool.

I think I found that the dinobot if a diaclone knockoff from the same time period as G1, is that right?

European Bonecrusher without combiner parts, knockoff Slag, and two Brazilian minibots.

KO Slag is really cool though. The colors are grand, and well you don't have to pay $500 for the Takara Dino Robo version.

Actually, that Bonecrusher is a bootleg. The European Constructicons had G2 colors (in fact, the Europeans were the predecessors) and were carded. Plus, the logo is the wrong color (red instead of the purple for Decepticons) and the :CON: is missing.

Thanks for the help everybody! They may be knockoffs but they look awesome and make unique display items.

Well, no... the minicars were Argentinian (wait, Brazilian, right?), though their paint, sticker and plastic quality often SEEMS to be bootleg.

Yeah, I forgot to post that I found a website about them, I wish I had bought the blue and green varients the guy had.

Yeah, and that white one. : D

Hey, do the emblems on your minicars have Autobot or Decepticon symbols, or are they those WEIRD, Argentina-only (Brazilian?) faces?
