If you had the means to knockoff any Transformers toy you want, give them a new coat of paint and maybe a size/down on the scale side. Which toys would you bootleg?
Especially as a fan, you'd have more the culutural capital to know what would rake in the money at the poundshops/staples etc rather than any noob who bootlegs a toy for the sake of it.

Personally I wouldn't be party to any kind of knock off/bootlegging activity.

To an extent, I would but I'd rather concentrate on using the resources towards an unofficial figure for a convention or something. For me it would be more for making something like a pink repaint scaled down version of Victory Leo and watching the fanboys/girls fall overthemselves by my handywork on the cyber communities.

I always thought that the Botcon 04 Actionmaster G2 Breakdown was great and that was certainly a KO. The canadian con has had exclusive KO (WST Dinrobots). So has the Diarycon.
Now the Botcon and Diarycons would be better described as customs maybe but I'd say there's a grey area between them and KO's.
Id love for AA to try something for next year. Repainted legends or something.
On a non AA note a slightly upsized classic seeker would be nice, they look a bit puny compared to the Autobot classics.

I would repaint the entire 1984-1995 range in Action Master Thundercracker colours.

Stop tempting me with new ideas. As it is I'm doing two new ones.

I don't know whether this has been done or not (my knowledge on KO's isn't that great) but a scaledown of G1 Blaster would be nice. His toy was a lot bigger than Optimus Prime and that just didn't seem right to me.

You'd have to think of some whacky names for these KOs too lol  |

Blaster looks great alongside the Masterpiece figures.
