    Basically I am asking because I just got myself 1984 Blitzwing off Ebay.

    Now I thought Blitzwing was a 1985 toy, also he has no rub sign.

    Is he a Pre-Rub version? Is there anyway for me to check?

    Thanks in advance

    Fred's Transformers Variants and Variations page for Blitzwing does not mention anything about a pre-rub version:

    Variations: Everything Else Decepticon

    Other than that, without pictures it would be difficult to say. :useless 

    Is there a copyright stamp?

    Only the 1st run 84 toys were pre rub. No TV show season 2 toys,other then the repeats from season one were prerub. Blitzwings rub sign is on the top of the turret. Now they did stop using the rub signs at some point although I think blitzwing was out of production by then.

    Sorry, it isnt easy for me to get pics up at the moment.

    there is a stamp but it doesnt have the TM symbol.

    I am guessing it is not pre-rub and is mearly missing its rub symbol, no skin off my nose

    thanks for the replies.
