but then again i only have optimus, vector, megs and starscream. i guess i'm just content that prime is no longer an in articulate statue or a lard ass. but back to the point, i have a couple of mexican bw bootlegs and some asian bootlegs/test shots (still not sur which). if your interested i could send you some pics,......unless you just want this thread to be for your figs. i'll completely understand and don't want to hijack your thread....let me know.

Please do, better yet please post them in this thread. :thumb

 

To everyone, please feel free to post pics of interesting bootlegs and where you found them in this thread.

 

What is the in shop price for such bootlegs?

 

Also, does it have that nasty lightpiping that the original has (the glass back of the head)?

 

Nope, his head is solid and his head does not rotate.

 

 

:thumb Sweet! I remember a lot of those before! I particularly found the 3 trucks real funny having faces that resemble Gundams and having die-cast parts.

Yo Deadlock, where did you get the Prime bootleg? SM? That's SWEET. Do you have pics of Starscream?

Got the prime from the source... Divisoria.

 

A friend bought a RM Starscream but it's with me right now undergoing repairs. The bootleggers made an annoying mistake of gluing together the rotating joint on the upper arms so that his elbows move the other way, and the null ray blasters can't be mounted. Once I separated the pieces I found out that the peg holding them together was sawed off, which explains the glue. :tfmad Once I figure out how to fix it I'll post pics.

A new Big Lots store opened near me semi-recently. When I got to go the first time, they had a really nice selection of bootlegs. I bought the yellow Lio Convoy, which I'd been seeking for some time. They had the BW Clock-Raccoon guy as well as the original BM Primal one. But they also had KOs of Machine Robo Rescue (the 200x Go-Bots). Now they only seem to have the TM Rattrap, and some of the cheapy combiner limbs (Aerialbots, etc).

 

I saw the Micromaster six-plane set (I forget the name) at a K-Mart not too long ago as well. I'd already picked it up at a Kay-Bee though.

Mini Superion, Prime, Double Dealer, Mini Bruticus

Bendy Prime, Blurr, Hotshot

 

Also got Mini Defensor, Power Master Prime, Armada Starscream, Armada Prime etc.

I have all the combiners you listed except piranacon. Where did you get him?

i got him in fleamarkets.. he was maarketed in individual bubbles without the combiner parts.. i had to scrounge some g1 and bootleg combiner parts to combine him..

Sorry for the delay, I still haven't fixed starscream, but here's another bootleg found.  This time it's Energon prime(the one in the TRU 2-pack)

Powerlinked with E-Hotshot(I know, Hotshot's mistransformed)

Prime's super mode helmet is permanently attached and the right shoulder has been remoulded to remove the Autobot symbol.  Also there are some missing paint apps on the toy.  His weapon is just solid blue plastic.

:puke Wow that looks bad. I mean, sure, most Powerlinx combos are fugly, but that's just...just...just...just...just...just...
