Fakes. Copies. Knock-offs. Cheap imitations might get a bad name, but that doesn’t mean they are uninteresting. Take these phony Transformers, for example. They’re pandas! And they’re wonderful. Japanese u31.com เข้าสู่ระบบ site Fake Toy Gallery does a bang up job of cataloguing knock-offs found throughout Asia over the years. Of particular interest are the fake Transformers. Some of them simply say “Transformable” or “Transform”, while others blatantly use Transformer style art, packaging or simply steal the logos outright. Still, many make up for lack of quality or official licensing with delightful imaginations.cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"1063843348","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"kotaku-east","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"kotaku-east","TAGS":"","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); Pandas in disguise! But there is more than meets the, ahem, eye: these “Super Change Panda” toys have words “Chinese Kung Fu” on their packaging and drawings of a Kung Fun Panda type character. Guess they’re trying to cash in on Transformers and Kung Fu Panda at the same time. These English letters transform u31 ทางเข้า into adorable little robots. There are also number versions, too. These “NASA” space shuttle robots have whiffs of Voltron. A “Robotic Radio” from Taiwan’s Taifong toy company. Love the axe. There are many toys similar to this, which is more Voltron style giant robot than Transformer per se… Another example. I quite love the packaging for many of these. These toys were part of the totally unofficial “Transformable Tomas” (not Thomas!) line, and had names like “Change Tomas King” and “Super Change Tomas”. Some of the toys in this series even had Transformer Autobot logos! Tomas the Tank u31 เข้าสู่ระบบ Engine is one badass bot. u31.com เข้าสู่ระบบ

These might u31 ทางเข้า

be my favorite. A few years back, Hong Kong’s Justitoys released an unofficial line of “Tiny Transforming Dinosaurs” that claimed to be “World’s Smallest Dinobots.” They’re amazing miniature versions the classic 1985 Transformer toy Grimlock.

Some games are a bit laggy on my phone at times, but the variety of games and the smooth desktop experience make up for it. Overall, the website offers a great gaming experience for both casual and serious players.

These Transformers Might be Fake, But They're Still So Cool
