Reflector?

Hi!

I was just wondering... this looks lite Reflector - viewfinder, but what about the stickers? "Microx"??
Is it a KO?

I know the originals were Microx, then Hasblo/Takara bought it for Reflector. But I have a new KO that says Microx. Better wait for Jose.

The pre TF Reflectors do say "Microx" on the front, but the early copies are exactly like that, so you have to be careful when purchasing a Microx Reflector. They can be easily identified when you have them on your hands, as the knockoffs don't have the Takara stampings on the back of the robot. Plus, the pegs are different, so a "mixed" camera, composed by legit and fake robots won't be able to stand together; however to test for this last part it's nearly impossible to do remotely.

Is it metal? Mine has chromed plastic.

On mine (which is a TF Reflector) all have the center body piece of metal. All the rest is plastic.

I found the TF on an auction site and decided to try and get him. Final price was $1.5 so now i'll just have to wait and see if it's the real thing or not. If its not, atleast i haven't paid a fortune for him.

I finally got it now, and noticed that there's a "Takara" marking on his back.
I also got Spectro with the same marking.
So, they are not knockoffs then?

Nope. That's the cowbell for the real deal.

Also, the finish of the plastic for the KOs is a bit sloppier than the Takara; from the picture yours already seems to be authentic.

Reflector?
