No, this isn't a cheap Korean knockoff, despite the colors... this is a legit Transformers product.
Cradon is a redeco of the Cybertron Giant Planet Team Mini-Con Longarm, transforming into a double-armed crane truck of undetermined model. He was only available in exclusive 2-packs of Boss coffee drink in Japan for a limited time, along with Seawave and "metallic" PVC mini-figurines of Optimus Prime, Megatron and Starscream. The two-pack caps had decals indicating what toy was inside.
This mold was also used to make Astro-Hook, who was repurposed to be "Shattered Glass" Stonecruncher, and Reachout.

Notes

  • Cradon's being a Generation 1 character is not completely firm. However, he was available as part of a Generation 1-themed promotion along with distinctly Generation-1 toys, so...
  • It is worth noting that there appears to be no sign of the third mold in the Giant Planet Team set, the plane. Since the three toys are gang-molded, it is presumed that there is a mostly-blue plane floating around somewhere, possibly as part of a future promotion... or not. Who knows with TakaraTomy?
