Why does my one OP have this.......

Post by duttry98 »

...... but none of the others do? I don't remember the one from my childhood having it. I do notice that the colors on this one are a bit "off". Could it be a KO, reissue, etc....?Image

Because it's a G2 Prime. That's the G2 Autobot faction symbol.

Check dinobots for this, too. Some Generation 2 Dinos were issued in their original silver. The translucent plastic is much darker, but the best way to tell is by the logo. G2 prime has a few color variants as well, including one that looks strikingly similar to the G1 issue.

G2 Dinobots are very hard to find in G1 colors... And you must also check for the yellow G1 Constructicons!

My purple g2 grimlock I got has this printed on it. Also, had a shiny bumblebee and cliffjumper in a lot with this also. But, bee had to go to the 'ol scrap yard..... beat up and missing an arm was enough to send him off.

Keep dreaming Jose. Joustra stuff doesn't just wind up in your collection ;)

That said, if you have some Joustra Constructicons, PM me. I want pix.

Are they supposed to be Joustra? I got a Bonecrusher in yellow, gray canopy, just Hasbro marks, and no "Decepticon" G2 legend, loose from UK. I thought that it might fill in interesting enough my G2 orange Devastator, since that was the one I'm missing.

So what if I was to say I've recently seen a g2 yellow bone crusher, like the first one pictured, WITHOUT the decepticon logo and print in the bucket? What would that one be? Error, ko, ...... ???????

Probably KO. Devastator KO's are probably the most common of all TF KO's. Otherwise, possibly the Joustra of which i speak. I'll elaborate in a new thread.

Well if the vendor still has it I'll pick it up. He had a $3 price tag on it.
