Hi all, I was wondering if someone here has a guide to find out which optimus G1 version I have and if it's an original one. I'm currently fixing (repainting and etc) one and am wondering how I can spot this.
I read somewhere that most original transformers should have note with takara or hasbo on them somewhere, including a year and made in ...
On my optimus, I can't spot this anywhere... Any ideas?
Is there some sort of archive of this kind of info? Would be great to know where to look for future buyings...
Optimus prime, how to tell the version

Here you go, this will tell you everything you need to know. http://www.fredsworkshop.com/frames.html
BTW welcome to the site. If you can post some pics of your collection and maybe the Optimus you are repairing,

Newest addition to my collection: Generations Blitzwing
Looking for packaging for 20th Anni. Masterpiece Optimus Prime and his axe and Megatron gun. PM me if you have any of these at a reasonable price.

Hm, helps somewhat
Nice guide you referenced to, but it appears to be somewhat short. I'm missing the optimus with red feet or the optimus with grey hands (next to the normal blue ones or the bloated hands, there are also grey hands).
I'll post some images of my somewhat damaged and optimus later on. Need to find a place to post the images first

The red feet version is a French version. I wouldn't worry about it, it's rare.mfzandstra wrote:Nice guide you referenced to, but it appears to be somewhat short.

Well here are a few images (optimus is missing an exhaustion pipe, since I'm repainting it);
head and front
cabin front
feet
back
Don't know if this is the proper way to post images...
Hope they turn okay after posting...
