>>11257723Incorrect. A bootleg is a third party knock-off made with cheaper materials and being of overall inferior quality.
Considering most 3rd party Transformers these days tend to be made of better quality materials than Hasbro's, have a higher attention to detail than Hasbro's, tend to have better engineering than Hasbro's, and generally look and feel better than Hasbro's overall, you really can't define them as bootlegs; they're more like pic related - similar item, same (or better) quality as the big name brand, same taste - you're just not sucking the same corporate cock for the sake of brand loyalty, which means you're not getting all of those added preservatives they throw in there to keep their own costs down.
