I added more pics.

A KO maker could have just used white plastic. I'm not familiar with all KOs, but do the Classics KOs retain the copyright info (be it KOLD, CHMS, or others)?

Ah ok, cool, thanks for the clarification. I could never remember and now that the Tokyo Toy Show Black Optimus is out now all I see is that mentally when I think of the Wonderfest one.

This is... interesting. Not sure if it's legit... yet

wow quite cool I wonder if this will see the light of day like the 2nd black prime did

that looks to be a KO/custom someone made, there have been zero reports of anything involving a henkei ultra magnus so i don't trust this one bit

I am leaning towards KO or someone customized an Ultra Magnus.

The one thing that tells me its more than likely NOT a KO is the headlights in the alt mode. I do own a number of KO's of this mold and none of them have that "horizontal" panel line where the turn signal would be in the headlight assembly of a truck. The legit versions of the mold do have the horizontal panel line.

There's this possibility too. If it is a custom, I'd have to say it was nicely done.

Where did the while molded plastic legs come from?

That's a good question. Who knows. I have practically all of the KO Classics OPs.....and none of them have white legs. When you have it in hand I'm sure you can tell if it really is molded or not. Also, in your 3rd picture, the blue face mask almost looks "shiny". Can you check to see if it isn't a sticker as well? I only ask because I bought a reprolabel sticker set for one of my Classics UMs and the sticker does give off a bit of shininess.

I am not going to ask how much you paid for it, but where and what type of details did you get from the seller?

UltimusPrime · 08-15-2012, 04:18 PM

The details I got were that it is a Cancelled Takara version that is not a KO or reproduction and HIGHLY rare.
