I prefer to trade these but have prices in case anybody wants to just buy. the newer stuff are a bit above average quality for a bootleg, good for repaints/customs or bootleg collectors like me but definately NOT takara/hasbro quality. the older soundwave is high quality with diecast. Will trade for ANY vintage g1 bootlegs made in the 80s and 90s that i don't have and like. Specifically looking for more fourstar stuff, need a hardhat chestpiece and white phantom jet, also searching for the tons of insecticon variations they released. Also searching for undocumented things from china, taiwan, and korea. -KO soundblaster, perceptor, TM hotrod. Soundblaster and perceptor come with leg extenders, the TM hotrod has been slightly rescaled to be the same height as soundblaster and perceptor....$33 a set or $12 each -KO minisized liokaiser, no breastforce partners, about 7 inches tall. remolded helmets. $20 -KO oversized superion. Defensor shown for scale. $25 -KO vintage cassetteman from taiwan. has batteries and cover. crack on front window. diecast feet. cassette logos on window, knees, and batteries. $25.
im getting a lot of interest in the KO trio soundblaster/hotrod/perceptor. about the quality, these are NOT hasbro/takara quality. they are a step up from the gestalt bootlegs with good weight and similar wall thickness to the originals. they do not have any diecast. more pictures of the same item here: http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-SOUNDWAVE-BUZZSAW-COMMNICATIONS-TRANSFORMERS-G1_W0QQitemZ200117457888QQihZ010QQcategoryZ4696QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-PERCEPTOR-RAVAGE-TRANSFORMERS-G1_W0QQitemZ200116907986QQihZ010QQcategoryZ4696QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-HOT-ROD-BIG-VER-8-INCH-TRANSFORMERS-G1_W0QQitemZ200116416495QQihZ010QQcategoryZ4696QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
