Original OP G1 trailer problems

Post by Smokescreen »

Hi guys fisrt of all let me say great site. Yeah im new but i plan to stick around. Any way ill get tom my prob. I have recently started re-collecting tranformers G1 figures. HAd a heap as a kid but as kids do i played with them untill they died !! Any way i managed to find a few including my old G1 prime. I found his fists aswell which i doubted i would seeing as i had not seen him for 14 years. Anyway i eventually found his trailer as well and also half of another one ? I remembered that i had broken the original trailer and my paerents found me another, its nt in the best shape, one of the door clips are half way broken and the stickers are missing but other tan that its all there, i dont think however it is an original trailer as it has no trademark stamp? where was the trademark stamp on the originals and how can you tell an authentic G1 prime from a KO? In the trailers peg hole it says T2 thats the only writing i found. Sorry if someone has already asked this question and thanks in advance for any who take the time to read this post :lol:

Heya, Smokescreen!

Unfortunately, I also do not have your answer, but I am glad to see you around, and hopefully you will feel free to make this a new home.

Do not take much of what I say seriously, nor leave yourself open for Galvatron to take what you say with a double-meaning.

You may now condsider yourself fully trained on use of the forums. ;)

If it looks just like the real deal and there's just no TM, it's probably legit. OR...
You can wait til tomorrow for me to dig one out and check. :P

I would love to see pictures of this one. I have never seen a legit Prime trailer without stamps, but I have seen fake ones with them, so none of the above forementioned cases are a strong warranty. It's possible it's authentic, as there are "transitional" pieces released while they were changing parts. I have found several Thundercrackers with no stamps at all and being authentic.

Does an authentic OP cab have anything on it? I've heard the trademark/year is supposed to be on the leg, but I can't find it on mine. The trailer he came with has the markings, but it was bought loose.

The Prime cabs don't have copyright markings. They are all in the trailer.
