It resembles Brocaps Brobot v1 but a little bit off.....

Where'd you grab the picture?

For some reason this makes me think of GirlDC, but not sure if they made a cap in this style.

And it's very similar to the v1 BroBots, but slightly square-er.

Just looks like a 3d printed version of what Bro did to start out. Everyone gotta start somewhere.

BRING BACK BBv2.

it's a taobao knock-off of the brobot v1. if this came from the same source as your v2, then your v2 is 100% fake.

Thanks, I didn't pick this up it was send to me from a relative.

I got the BBV2 confirmed real from Bro himself, it glows in the dark :D
I'm gonna stay away from this guy's stuff then.

I'm really glad to hear it didn't turn out to be a fake <3

Looks pretty cool tbh, very much not a knock off of the bbv1 like people are saying just happens to be the same subject, people need to not say its a fake though otherwise we'd need to apply that logic to every key that has a skull on it :))

Nothing to see move along, move along

That's what I was thinking.  It definitely resembles a BBv1 but I think it more so just looks like someone 3D printed a cap to try and match up to Optimus Prime.

wat? it's designed to appear as a v1, it's sometimes directly advertised as a v1, and it's sold by the same sellers that peddle fake v2s, clacks, and hammer skulls/hellboys. it reeks of the chinese saying they all wanted a v1, but they couldn't get a hold of one to clone, so they copied one to the best of their ability- just like they copied clack's eagle design. basically- it's a knock-off.

it's okay though guys, k3 puts his own stamp on his fakes so that totally makes them original.

It's freaking Optimus Prime. How can you make a knockoff of Optimus?

because the v1 is a derivative of optimus, and this, as it sometimes as advertised as a v1, is a knock-off of the v1 (i'll be nice and call it an optimus derivative when it's not advertised).

Fairly sure its designed to appear as a Optimus prime head, its also not a copy of the V1 as its a completely different sculpt as seen on the side.

Also way to lump all the Chinese people together and basically imply they all support fakes nice one.

Did you even look at the key in the picture its nothing like the v1 at all its the same subject matter but a different take on it and different sculpt, and if we are going to be pedantic about things the original v1 is just a optimus prime head from a toy not even a sculpt like this one.

since you're not seeing the point that it's a good that sometimes tries to pass itself off as another, i'll just go ahead and link you to a place to buy it so you can get yourself a nice optimus keycap- https://world.taobao.com/item/523869713148.htm?spm=a312a.7700714.0.0.UbLqrg#detail

and since it's not passing itself off as a v1 in this case, i release you of all potential guilt. enjoy the cap man!

I see the point your trying to make, but its a stupid ass point and in the link you just posted it does not call it a bbv1 it calls it a Optimus prime (black) so your points pretty invalid

optimus does not have telescopic optics.  This is farfetched nonsense design at best.

Yeah, the eyes should be one with the rest of the head like goggles and not have those cave ins.
