Re: Is there a difference in the KO Sideswipe to the original?

We talking about the Masterpiece or the 1984 G1?

Masterpiece
- The bootleg has a very Inferno shaped head
- It says CANTACH instead of Countach on the back of the Lambo car mode
- No date stamp

G1

- Only the box itself is a give away, loose is a BIG problem.
- The font for "Transforms from" and "Autobot Warrior" is in a completely different font style from everything else. That's the biggest give away.

As for the box, sadly the only way to tell is the Lambo sticker is not a rainbow hologram like most hologram sticker, it has more of a mirror effect.

Sorry if this is off topic to the thread, but it's along the same line: have there been any KO MP Tigertracks on the market?

Re: Is there a difference in the KO Sideswipe to the original?

And how about 3rd party KO's??? Sounds like a project to help update the TFW Resources Page:

http://www.tfw2005.com/resources/kno...430/page3.html

G1 Sideswipes Knock off is here, maybe we can add his MP Buddy.
If anybody has pics of knock off stuff to add, just message the mod with pic and info

Re: Is there a difference in the KO Sideswipe to the original?

I think the MP and KO Sideswipes have another difference: their eyes.


I personally like the KO face better, but the real helmet is a little better than the KO's.

Who'd be dumb enough to KO the Armada Sideswipe mold?



I'm sure the KOs of movie Sideswipe mold's plastic is of lesser quality.

The KO WST Sideswipes seems to be on par with the legit WST Sideswipe though.

Re: Is there a difference in the KO Sideswipe to the original?

Yeah, I can't afford the $110 - $150 price tag the scaplers have jacked MP Red Alert up too so I am seriously considering it.

Regarding KO Tigertracks, I saw one on Aliexpress:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/KO-TF...127745654.html

I've bought 3 things off this guy and I'll probably buy KO Red Alert from him.
