Do the humans get pages of their own? Too bad they don't have names. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 22:37, 20 June 2011 (EDT)

== Which Universe for Kre-O? ==

I just spotted the Optimus and Sideswipe sets at TRU. Did we ever figure out where to put these guys? --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 19:45, 10 June 2011 (EDT)

:I'm gonna put them on the table where I keep my LEGo... What? Oh, here? Very good question what with being strange Movie G1 Hybrids? Aligned or there own new thing I guess?--[[Special:Contributions/76.28.76.206|76.28.76.206]] 19:50, 10 June 2011 (EDT)
::Since most of them have Classics/Universe heads and they come with little Sunbow-style guys, I'm in favor of G1ing them. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 20:27, 10 June 2011 (EDT)
:::I just can't imagine calling the big Sentinel Prime a G1 toy. I don't have a real counterproposal except maybe making pages for Kre-O-Verse versions of the characters. Hasbro doubtless considers them to be from the new Aligned Continuity That Everything Is From. Again, this is not a problem that's going to go away. -[[User:LV|LV]] 20:40, 10 June 2011 (EDT)
::::They are apparently "brick-made beings" called "Kreons" fictionally. At least according to [http://www.walmart.com/ip/Kre-O-Transformers-Optimus-Prime/16386328?findingMethod=rr Wal Mart's website]. So... - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 22:51, 20 June 2011 (EDT)
:::::I think we should aim for consistency. Meaning, that we shouldn't say that "Optimus is from the Movieverse, Prowl is G1, and Bumblebee is Aligned". With that in mind, it seems most logical to either put them all in Aligned or give them their own designation. Thoughts? --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 10:58, 24 June 2011 (EDT)

:::::Seems simple to me. They're all 'Kre-O' characters, first and foremost. In each description, just mention what universe the design is based on. So, for the 'Mustang' Bumblebee, it's Advanced Kre-O Bumblebee, based on his appearance in the movie. For Kre-O Jazz, he's based on his G1 appearance, though his gray/silver is based on the movie coloration. Etc. Don't make it more complicated than it needs to be. - [[Special:Contributions/174.22.140.166|174.22.140.166]] 11:56, 24 June 2011 (EDT)

Kre-O

2011-06-24T14:33:38Z

'''Kre-O''' is a new play pattern expression of [[Hasbro]]'s best brands using quality construction bricks and mini-figurines. No, it's not ''[[Built to Rule]]''. It's especially not that thing that begins with an L! But it sure works with that thing that begins with an L.

L employees are asked to please not view this webpage.

Unveiled at [[Toy Fair 2011]], ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' will be the first Hasbro brand to be released as Kre-O construction brick kits. Kits will center around a Transformers character that can be taken apart and reassembled into a vehicle. Mini-figures called [[Kreon]]s are also included in the larger kits, and these mini-figures are a mix of Transformers characters and [[List of human Kreons|human drivers]]. Prices will range from $7.99 to $59.99. The line launched [[June 6]], [[2011]].

The robot/vehicle kits seem inspired by a mix of ''Transformers'' aesthetics, while the ''Transformers'' Kreons are strongly based on the [[Sunbow]] animation designs. Though most of the toys feature heads designed directly from their ''Classics''/''Universe''/''Generations'' counterparts, a few kits feature heads taken from other sources, such as Megatron's head inspired by the Cybertronian form of [[Megatron (Animated)|''Animated'' Megatron]]. And while Sentinel Prime's kit is clearly inspired by his ''Dark of the Moon'' appearance, his head takes most of its cues from the vastly different ''Animated'' version of the character.

We will "enjoy" trying to categorize them.

==Sets==
* '''Optimus Prime''' (568 pieces) w/ Optimus Prime, Skywarp, Bluestreak, and two human motorcycle driver Kreons
: Optimus Prime's trailer can stow two motorcycles, which the humans can ride

* '''Sentinel Prime''' (381 pieces) w/ Soundwave, Thundercracker, Sentinel Prime, and driver Kreons
: Sentinel Prime can be rebuilt from a red and black ''Dark of the Moon''-inspired robot mode to a fire truck

* '''Megatron''' (30668) (308 pieces) w/ Megatron, Shockwave, and two human Kreons
: Megatron can be rebuilt into a beige semi truck sans trailer. He and Starscream come with silver/zombie drivers rather than real humans.

* '''Starscream''' w/ Starscream and pilot Kreons
: A jet

* '''Sideswipe''' (31771) w/ Ironhide and human Kreons
: A red sportscar

* '''Autobot Ratchet''' (30662) (197 pieces) w/ Ratchet and driver Kreons
: An ambulance

* '''Bumblebee''' (36421) (336 pieces) w/ Bumblebee, Red Alert, and driver Kerons
: A Mustang-like muscle car, based on the live-action movies

===Basic Series===
* '''Mirage''' (31145) (119 pieces) w/ Mirage and driver Kreons
: An F-1 racer

* '''Autobot Jazz''' (31146) (122 pieces) w/ Jazz and driver Kreon
: A silver sports car with red/blue stripes

* '''Prowl''' w/ Prowl and human Kreons
: A police car

===Promotional Series===
* Smaller '''Optimus Prime''' (90 pieces)
: No Kreon included

* Smaller '''Bumblebee''' (74 pieces)
: Ditto

* Matrix '''Optimus Prime''' Kreon
: Promotional item given at Botcon 2011. Redeco of Optimus Prime Kreon showing the [[Matrix of Leadership]].

==Notes==
* While the Kre-O bricks and such are compatible with Lego bricks, take care with mixing Kreon and Minifigure parts, particularly helmets. Full-coverage Kreon helmets like Optimus Prime's and Soundwave's are a bit tight, and getting a Lego Minifigure head out of them is exceedingly difficult. They'll pop off the neck before the helmet relinquishes the head. Open-face helmets like Starscream's, where you can get a "grip" on the head with the pad of your finger, should be fine.
