Hard to find images of old Kenner packaging, but the idea that OB1 was a clone goes way back, while I never bought it in the late 80s/early 90s - there was always pretty good arguments to be made back in the old bulletin board days

No, I accept that it was a popular theory.

But Kenner packaging is probably the best-documented toy line in history. It never said “OB1.”

i couldn't find any good photos, but I swear one of them did, had a yellow and blue background. maybe it was from the early 90s remakes, who knows?
