Is this one of the fake ones?

If so? What's the overall quality like?

[adi182]

could pick up a junker g1 prime cab from ebay for the head and paint it black

[richyx]

well duno if its a fake or not the stamping says takara france!

but the quality of it is pretty dam good id say, will get some pics up to show you

[Phill]

Sounds like one of the High Quality KO's doing the rounds. They were reported to have been based on the French G1 Prime.

Do you have a link to the auction (Assuming you got it on E-Bay) or the shop you got it from?

[richyx]

Just seen your pics in the other thread.

Its is one of the High Quality KO's.

The Takara/France stamp matches it, and it has the other tel-tale signs on the box (Ravage cut off the top of it, and a crease running along the back of the box, just above where the main part of the box ends).

Saying that it does look like its good quality, and once I find a cheap enough one I'll probably go for it.

Just click Modify, and copy the text in the post, and then re-post it in here.

thanks mate carnt beilive i done that lol

ok heres some pics well 19 of them lol





















inside the trailer it is spring loaded like the original for roller to shoot from the back aswell
as said im very happy with it bar the head so i can only keep it in truck mode for display

may even get some decepticon decals made up aswell and have it as an enemy prime

black and purple should go quite well together i think

[Hellhound]

it does look very nice, KO or not!
