    That toy is too cheap. The plastic is a very simple. Bootleg MV2007 optimus is very different than his Orignal 2007 voyager toy.

    I got them from an eBay auction. I have no idea if they're available anywhere else. If you search "Korean KO Minerva" on these message boards, there is a good amount of posts about them dating back 5-10 years ago. I might have paid too much - but since they seem to not be around anymore - I went all in!

    KOncept/DEED doesn't make any of the KO's, he's just the head of a design team that's trying to get the KO'rs (and now 3P peeps) to do more fan-centric stuff we want/NEED instead of the umpteenth million Optimus and BB, they're limited to working with existing items in production, for now at least.

    This one:

    - Black Mamba BMB LS-07 LS07 Armour Wasp Bumblebee MPM-07 MPM07

    One way I remembered was by looking at the shins. On the MP version, they are more detailed and not just strips of silver paint, like the other OSKO versions.

    Hmm. Interesting. Transbridge Omegalock posted that Transform Element cancelled their latest run of their Optimus, now we're hearing this, and TO claimed a KO company/factory was hit.

    Either there is more to this and TO knows more about it/has a hand in it, or all of this is baseless and he's just mucking it up in the hopes of getting something started.

    If Has/Tak is striking back (and I have high doubts), it's long overdue and will probably create Ill-will in a lot of fans.

    I'm taking this with maximum caution, since there's no sources mentioned. Hope there'll be a clear statement on the matter asap

    Regardless, if Hasblo does do this, more companies will simply spring back up. Let the Streisand Effect/Whack-a-mole-athon begin!
