Have an original Mirage missile, but not in great nick, but the original seems to be more pointed, and there is a single round circle on the original, versus 2 on the other missiles (and in different places).

I've heard the ko robot masters convoy is good but does any one have the g1 convoy with micromaster? heres a link Optimus Prime with micromaster - Generation 1 at KOTOYS.COM
I'd like to see size comparisons if possible.
Thanks | |

Especially shockwave and reflector! I'm interested in buying a vintage reflector and I don't mind buying a loose one but how can I tell the difference? Is it the size? The KO looks so similar in size. Are there picture comparisons?  | |

cool, so which do you think looks better in classic primes hand? | |

Anyhow... here is my question... So Hasbro patented their figures back in the 80's right? 84,85,86... etc... and a patent lasts for 20 years or so? Well, 20 years have passed so couldn't any company legally build these toys since the patent ran out?
I found some pics of the old Defensor patent and it was recorded way back in 85? Thus meaning.... in 2005... you could make the figure yourself at no risk. I'm I wrong here? I took Business law my freshman year in college and i'm sure thats how it works. 
So maybe thats why Hasbro hasn't stepped in to stop any of these KO's Because they can't. 
He only speaks the truth!
