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.

 

Where did you get that again?

All I've got is the Big Lots Lio Convoy... Pretty good but needs tighter joints... (I really need a real one... )

Would you/anyone be willing to pick up some bootlegs and destribute them? I mean non U.S. bootlegs. And why don't the picks work?!?! Is it because you're offline right now?

Hmm, I'd say the current KOs I'd be most willing in getting are the ones of Japanese-only dinosaur cassettes.  That'd rock! :)

soome one needs to bootleg jetfire smaller, so he can look normal powerlinked to wheeljack and stuff

Where did you get that again?

 

Bootlegs and knockoffs are readily available in my country.  Even big name stores here have them in stock.

 

Here's another one found that I bought as it's being removed from the case box it came in.  It's WST Prowl, SUPERSIZED!!!!!! :eek

Size comparison with Energon Hotshot

Obviously this is waaaay larger than the original.  And unlike the original one, this toy features rolling wheels.  One drawback of this toy is as with the original, the hinge above the elbows are so loose that it makes the arms flop around.

I have a mighty need for those mini-combiners... a MIGHTY need.

Couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw this thing. :eek

 

But since I'm not a big fan of alts or BT I decided to call my friend who was one to pick it up.

My friend took the pics.  Will post more once I get them.

 

BTW, this is a copy of the BT version.  This thing has Diecast parts.

Wow!

 

Hmm, where do I look up your flag?  :)
