Prime time thread - please read message #1

Here's a general request. To those who own a verified as such, KO Prime, we need your help. I do remember several spots which were suspicious when I had one of those in my hands, but please note that I don't have any reissued Prime to compare, so what was different against a 1985 Prime, from the fake, may be similar to the Encore or Hasbro reissue. So, if you can contribute with pictures of the following spots, I will be very thankful. Pictures also, from reissue, or vintage versions, G2, Pepsi, etc are very welcomed and needed. Just get them clear enough and specify what version is it from.

Anyway, the places I have found suspicious on a verified KO Prime were:

- front grill, space between bumper and engine mesh.
- front drive train, wheel rivets.
- head base, gap and peg to fix position in robot mode.
- copy stamp, underside of the trailer.
- Gas pump, hose and nozzle.
- on box, lettering which says "AUTOBOT COMMANDER OPTIMUS PRIME".

Also, if you have noticed more places to look at, go ahead and tell the differences.

You mean the one you won on eBay? That's the "case of study". Some parts, or maybe most of it, may be fake or authentic.

Please, go ahead and post pictures! But I feel we have to hold back a while before making conclusions.

Will try and get pics of my G2 Prime up soon.
