Real Transformers vs fake ones

[Beans]

Picked up some transformers at the local TS. Any one know how to tell if they are real ones or cheap knock offs? I also do not know where the brand marks are.

Take it from a pro. As for me and transformer's I know nata, other the they're "Robots in Disguise" how funny that jingle is still in my head and they sure ran the hell out of that commercial way back when . Search results for Wheeljackslab buying guides | eBay

Bandi are the good ones. Early 1980s are G1. Think 88ish were G2 then 1992-94 were G3. Just going off memory while sitting in traffic.

Yes. Look for the Mark that will tell you who made it and this year it was made. Takara and Bandai are the two early run companies you want to look for
