Packaging Guide - Individual figures: 

• Individually packed Aerialbots appeared on the market in 2020.
• Silverbolt
• Assortment number on counterfiet is made in Macau version 5882/5739. The original 1986 box does have the registered symbol next to both heroic autobot and transformers.
• Has shortened copyright on back of box.
• Sunburst and background gradient issues, same as majority of counterfeits.
• There should be no : after Ages.
• Air Raid, Fireflight, Skydive, Slingshot
• Hole punch - should be pretty much centered above the 'N', the counterfeits are positioned more over the 'NS'. (NB - Official chinese G1 have the same hole punch placement).
• There is an extra ® (registered symbol) next to heroic autobot. This is present on some real aerialbots cards as well as some chinese releases, so there is at least 2 versions of each, making 4 real cards in total (with decoy or iron on patch offer). Next step is to check the copyright - short copyright - real 90's chinese release.
• Gridlines are dark gray, they should be lighter (almost white).
• Sunburst and background gradient issues, same as majority of counterfeits. Character art not as bright as original cards. The blue sections are also a deeper blue than on the originals.
• Skydive - tech specs have white text for Strength, Intelligence etc. - should be black.
• All cards also have shortened copyright statement.(Missing made in Japan etc). Further indicates the official Chinese g1 cards were used for these counterfeits. (See points 1 and 2 above).
