Hello I just brought the below g1 Megatron out of curiosity. Now I'm just wondering what g1 Megatron is it? Is it a reissue of some sort? Is it a K O?

Thanks in advance

It's a reissue, one that comes in a boxed set with DOTM voyager Megatron, which had some of his bots dipped in chrome for the occasion. The G1 version of Megatron in that set is without chrome... And the pictures show a version with brown hands and legs and you can cleary see the chrome on his chest. So... I don't know. Copyright stamps, check those when it arrives.

He's also about to shoot the guy behind him.

Thanks for the info! It is strange indeed. What lead me to this auction are all the unreleased Platinum Grimlocks and Jetfires this guy has. Is it possible it is an unreleased "as of yet" G1 Megatron reissue (like the Jetfire)? either that or it's a KO I guess. If that Jetfire never gets released, is it consider a KO? The Grimlock is coming out as the next platnum figure with Bruticus so it is consider Ledgit? hmmm... these lena81822 ebay auctions are strange indeed.

meaning you think they are going to reissue this at some point and this ebayer has it inhand before release (like Grimlock, and possibly that jetfire)?

I am an idiot. That's the 'Black' reissue and I own a boxed version. I completely forgot about that. Geebus. It's a 2009 E-hobby toy. It already IS a reissue. Derp.
