    I don't recall this being sighted before. It looks like a different version of a Jhong Zin KO Bumblebee different than the one documented at Highendtfs.com, eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

    Same as the known version:
    *bubble placement appears too far from the edge (hard to tell for sure in the pic)

    Different from other version:
    *Centered peg hole
    *Has a full copyright on back, not abbreviated
    *Pre-rub sticker

    Wow, I wonder when that thing came out. Better add it to the guides soon...

    The sticker is too big. Plus the tech spec looks wrong. Too much red or something.

    Can someone point me in the right direction on how to identify if a doubledealer engine holder is real or a knockoff?

    Hey everyone I am new to the boards and a big time Transformers fan. Nice to meet you all!
    I have a concern as I am always on Ebay and seeing the different fakes selling all the time on there, I wish there was something they could do to stop it but the only thing we can do is report the sellers when we see it so that they are eventually banned from selling. Please join with me on reporting this seller, here is a link to 1 of their several listings- Rare G1 Autobot Engineer Wheeljack MIB MOSC Beautiful Must See!!!! | eBay
    I know that if only 1 person reports it then they won't do anything about it and I have reported several of the items this seller keeps portraying as the real thing. I even see in their sold history that somehow they have been doing this a while and no one is catching on

    Hi, Just bought a Ratbat figure. Its the single carded Japanese D-61 version. I got it fairly cheap and was wondering if this version had been KOed at all? I know there is a Ratbat/Frenzy pack that is a fake but I'm not sure of this one. Anyone know?

    That's definately a KO. There is a typo in his function on the tech spec.

    Not that I am aware of. Where did you get it from and how much?

    Ebay:
    Ratbat

    Got him from ebay for 24 UK pounds (not including shipping). It has been opened but the guy has perfect feedback and seems honest. I guess Ill get a better idea when it arrives and I can have a look. Even if Ratbat is a KO I can't find any version of this card (D-61) thats been faked, or am I wrong?

    Here's a link to the auction

    It's real. There's no KO version on a Japanese card, and there's no KO version with sticker details instead of paint details.

    Wow, call me old fashioned but when I think of KOs I think cheaper than the real thing. Those prices are mental!

    Yup, that's what I'm sayin. Payin $70 for a knock off just doesnt sound right.
