Don't get pissed off at me or anything. But I recently discovered why my KO Superion had some high quality parts. Heh. The bootleggers must've used some of the genuine G1 parts from the original vintage Aerialbots. And also, isn't the KO Defensor supposed to be a KO of Guard City from Operation Combination? :huh
Oh whew. Heh. Funny thing is, when bootleggers run out of materials, they have to resort to destroying their vintages. MWAHAHAHAHA!!!
Speaking of being happy enough with Knock Off Transformers and bootlegged ones, you do raise out an even better point. I said it before and I'll say it again. "If one was to ever want to kitbash a gestalt team, no worries. Don't want to kill your G1 vintages? The bootlegs are more expendable. And saves a lot of work from destroying something one can sell for a lot of money."
I believe the KO fugly dino combiner is this one: http://www.qksrv.net/click-1645815-5463217?loc=http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Transformers-Dinosaurs-Dinobots-Robots-Toys_W0QQitemZ6042098073QQcategoryZ753QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
