    Well, hi. I am new, I have owned a 2012 g1 Optimus prime reissue for about a year now and i came across a few sites and stuff and i started to wonder if my Op could be a knock off. First of all, it was bought from ebay, it came from china. I have been checking for KO comparissons and all that and sometimes I decide my OP is legit but then something makes me think maybe not and its driving me carzy. Would it be ok if i posted a few pics and maybe you guys can ease my mind?

    Ps: I am not sure if this is the right place to start the thread or not. If so, i apologize.

    Welcome pictures would be perfect for people to figure out if your G1 Optimus Prime is legit or Ko.

    Ok,so whats bothering me the most is the bump on the side of the trailer and the fact that there is no "T" on the hole that conects the trailer to the truck.

    Does your optimus prime have short smokestacks? Was it new when you bought it? I don't think there's a KO of the Hasbro version. Take pictures of the figure

    yeah, short smokestacks and brand new. The lack of the "T" on the bottom of the trailer and the bump on the side of the trailer is what got me thinking.

    ^ That's what I said I don't think they made Ko that looks like this,
    All KO G1 Optimus Prime usually have long smokestacks.

    Show us a picture of the figure to make sure
