[quote name='karkyco']Speaking of knock-offs, a guy at one of my previous consulting gigs had knock-offs of various combiners including a knock-off Devastator that looked pretty damn legit.
I think he said he got them off of eBay. Is it true you can get these knock-offs from eBay, and are they cheap? No way will I pay good money for a knock-off, but I wouldn't mind ordering a few.
Devastator was one of the few combiners I don't have from the originals, but I do have a knock-off Devastator that came out exactly the same time as the original. He is more orangey-red. Looks good, and his drill missile will take an eye out.
I also have an 'original' knock off Omega Supreme, Shockwave, Perceptor, and a few others. But I have most of those in the real TF form as well.[/QUOTE]
If this is the same one I snagged (and it looks like it is), it's actually surprisingly high quality:

That price is just rediculous though. I got mine for 5 bucks shipped. If you look around, you should find a similar deal, same with Airealbots, Combaticons,
most of Menesaur (has a 2 Technobots as replacements), Terrorcons, and even giant versions of the micromaster combiners.
My personal fave KO I got off ebay though:

Never released in the states combiner. Really, really good imho, especially for G1. Again, I only payed 7 bucks after shipping, so search around, but that exact set is of almost standard quality, and is just a fun figure to have.
I also got a couple KO combiners from the Brave series that are really good too.
