Kre-O

2012-10-12T03:40:48Z

Cflorestf4: /* Kre-O Beast Hunters */

[[Image:Kre-Ologo.jpg|center|]]
[[Image:Kre-O-Bumblebeeandothers.jpg|thumb|350px|right|Car me now!]]
'''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]]'' was the first Hasbro brand to be released as Kre-O construction brick kits. The kits 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 human drivers. Prices 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 most of the Transformer Kreons are strongly based on the [[Sunbow Productions|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.

==Sets==
* '''[[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|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 (Kre-O)|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 (Kre-O)|Megatron]]''' (30668) ('''310''' pieces) w/ Megatron, Shockwave, human "Specialist" and human SWAT "Police" Kreon
: Megatron can be rebuilt into a gray semi-cab, based heavily on his appearance in the live-action movie ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]''. The robot mode head sculpt and overall robot mode coloration, however, is based on his [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|''Animated'']] appearance.

* '''[[Starscream (Kre-O)|Starscream]]''' (30667) ('''316''' pieces) w/ Starscream and human "Pilot" Kreons
: Starscream can transform into a jet somewhat resembling an F-14. His coloration and robot mode are heavily influenced by his original 1984 and Universe (2009) appearance.

* '''[[Sideswipe (Kre-O)|Sideswipe]]''' (31771) ('''220''' pieces) w/ Sideswipe and human "Driver" Kreons
: Sideswipe can be rebuilt into a red sportscar that somewhat homages his original Generation One appearance, but with additional detailing very loosely based on some of his movie-incarnation toys.

* '''[[Ratchet (Kre-O)|Autobot Ratchet]]''' (30662) ('''197''' pieces) w/ Ratchet and human "Medic" Kreons
: Ratchet can be rebuilt into an ambulance that strongly resembles his appearance in Transformers: Animated. The robot mode seems to be a mix of his original Generation One appearance as well as his Animated appearance.

* '''[[Bumblebee (Kre-O)|Bumblebee]]''' (36421) ('''336''' pieces) w/ Bumblebee, Red Alert, and human "Driver" Kreons
: Bumblebee can be rebuilt into a Camaro-like muscle car, based on the live-action movies. The head sculpt is a mix of Bumblebee's various incarnations. The human "Driver" is strongly reminiscent of [[Sam Witwicky]] from the live-action movies.

===Basic Series===
* '''[[Mirage (Kre-O)|Mirage]]''' (31145) ('''119''' pieces) w/ Mirage and "Race Driver" Kreons
: Mirage can be rebuilt into an F-1 racer based heavily on Mirage's Generation One appearance.

* '''[[Jazz (Kre-O)|Autobot Jazz]]''' (31146) ('''122''' pieces) w/ Jazz and human "Race Driver" Kreons
: Jazz can be rebuilt into a silver sports car with red/blue stripes. The primary coloration of the car (silver/gray) is the same as the live-action movie, but the coloring of the trim pieces and additional sticker details are from the original Generation One appearance. Though the packaging depicts his head to be gray, like the rest of his body, it is in fact, black.

* '''[[Prowl (Kre-O)|Prowl]]''' (30690) ('''190''' pieces) w/ Prowl and human "SWAT Commander" Kreons
: Prowl can be rebuilt into a white police car with black trim, strongly reminiscent of his original incarnation in Generation One.

===Promotional Series===
* Smaller '''Optimus Prime''' (31143) ('''90''' pieces)
: Optimus can be rebuilt into a flat-nosed semi-tractor strongly reminiscent of his appearance of the Classics toyline. This kit does not include a Kreon.

* Smaller '''Bumblebee''' (31144) ('''74''' pieces)
: Bumblebee can be rebuilt into a small sports coupe. Does not include a Kreon. This form is based most heavily on Bumblebee's appearance in the Classics toyline.

* Matrix '''Optimus Prime''' Kreon
: Promotional item given at Botcon 2011, and as a special mail-in promotion through the Kre-O website. Redeco of Optimus Prime Kreon showing the [[Matrix of Leadership]].

* Clear ''' Energon Bumblebee''' Kreon
: An exclusive New York Comic Con 2012 handout, this redeco of the Bumblebee Kreon is done entirely in translucent blue plastic, and comes in its own special little window box with an outer sleeve.

==Quest for Energon==
* '''Destruction Site [[Devastator (Kre-O)|Devastator]]''' (36914) (560 pieces) w/ Devastator, [[Ironhide (Kre-O)|Ironhide]], human "Foreman" and three human "Construction Worker" Kreons
: A "9 in 1" set that includes '''[[Scrapper (Kre-O)|Scrapper]]''', '''[[Drill Bit (Kre-O)|Drill Bit]]''', '''[[Scavenger (Kre-O)|Scavenger]]''' and '''[[Hightower (Kre-O)|Hightower]]''', each of whom can be rebuilt from construction vehicles into robots, or combined into the super robot Devastator. Devastator takes cues from both his Generation 1 and ''Revenge of the Fallen'' incarnations. The set also contains a buildable "construction site" play environment.

* '''Cycle Chase''' (36954) ('''75''' pieces) w/ [[Barricade (Kre-O)|Barricade]] and three [[Autobot Trooper]] Kreons
: This set includes a Decepticon motorcycle that can be rebuilt as a robot drone and a (very) small buildable "Autobot roadblock" play environment.

* '''Rotor Rage''' (36959) ('''217''' pieces) w/ [[Vortex (Kre-O)|Vortex]], human "Commando" and human "ATV Driver" Kreons
: This set features '''Vortex''', who can be built as a robot or a helicopter, as well as a small red all-terrain vehicle.

* '''Street Showdown''' (38771) ('''273''' pieces) w/ [[Wheeljack (Kre-O)|Wheeljack]], [[Knock Out (Kre-O)|Knock Out]], and two human "Driver" Kreons
: '''Wheeljack''' and '''Knock Out''' can each be built as a car or a robot. The mock-up packaging at Toy Fair identifies Knock Out as an Autobot, but he and Wheeljack are fighting anyway.

* '''Decepticon Ambush''' (38781) ('''80''' pieces) w/ [[Cliffjumper (Kre-O)|Cliffjumper]] and three [[Vehicon (Kre-O)|Vehicon]] Kreons
: This set includes an Autobot all-terrain vehicle that can be rebuilt as a robot drone and a (very) small buildable "Decepticon checkpoint" play environment.

* '''Battle for Energon''' (98812) ('''379''' pieces) w/ [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]], human "Security Guard" and human "Bank Robber" Kreons
: '''Optimus Prime''' and '''Megatron''' battle around a buildable "bank" play environment in this set. Optimus can be rebuilt as his conventional longnose semi cab mode, whereas Megatron can now be rebuilt as a Cybertronic battle tank. The Optimus and Megatron Kreons included in this set are more ''Prime''-styled than their previous figures.

* '''Stealth [[Bumblebee (Kre-O)|Bumblebee]]''' (98814) ('''257''' pieces) w/ Bumblebee, human "Driver", and two human "Security Guard" Kreons
: Stealth Bumblebee features a small robot-to-muscle car Bumblebee in his black-with-yellow "Stealth" coloration, as well as a buildable "military checkpoint" play environment and a bright green Decepticon motorcycle. The Bumblebee Kreon in this set is much more ''Prime''-styled than the previous one. The set also for some reason includes a bulldog ([[Bonecrusher (dog)|Bonecrusher]]?).

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.
* Kre-O bricks are manufactured by Korean toy company [http://www.oxfordtoy.co.kr/ Oxford]<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/415032-transformers-kre-o-thoughts-19.html#post6288246 Transformers Kre-O - Thoughts? on TFW2005]</ref>.

'''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]]'' was the first Hasbro brand to be released as Kre-O construction brick kits. The kits 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 human drivers. Prices 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 most of the Transformer Kreons are strongly based on the [[Sunbow Productions|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.

==Sets==
* '''[[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|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 (Kre-O)|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 (Kre-O)|Megatron]]''' (30668) ('''310''' pieces) w/ Megatron, Shockwave, human "Specialist" and human SWAT "Police" Kreon
: Megatron can be rebuilt into a gray semi-cab, based heavily on his appearance in the live-action movie ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]''. The robot mode head sculpt and overall robot mode coloration, however, is based on his [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|''Animated'']] appearance.

* '''[[Starscream (Kre-O)|Starscream]]''' (30667) ('''316''' pieces) w/ Starscream and human "Pilot" Kreons
: Starscream can transform into a jet somewhat resembling an F-14. His coloration and robot mode are heavily influenced by his original 1984 and Universe (2009) appearance.

* '''[[Sideswipe (Kre-O)|Sideswipe]]''' (31771) ('''220''' pieces) w/ Sideswipe and human "Driver" Kreons
: Sideswipe can be rebuilt into a red sportscar that somewhat homages his original Generation One appearance, but with additional detailing very loosely based on some of his movie-incarnation toys.

* '''[[Ratchet (Kre-O)|Autobot Ratchet]]''' (30662) ('''197''' pieces) w/ Ratchet and human "Medic" Kreons
: Ratchet can be rebuilt into an ambulance that strongly resembles his appearance in Transformers: Animated. The robot mode seems to be a mix of his original Generation One appearance as well as his Animated appearance.

* '''[[Bumblebee (Kre-O)|Bumblebee]]''' (36421) ('''336''' pieces) w/ Bumblebee, Red Alert, and human "Driver" Kreons
: Bumblebee can be rebuilt into a Camaro-like muscle car, based on the live-action movies. The head sculpt is a mix of Bumblebee's various incarnations. The human "Driver" is strongly reminiscent of [[Sam Witwicky]] from the live-action movies.

===Basic Series===
* '''[[Mirage (Kre-O)|Mirage]]''' (31145) ('''119''' pieces) w/ Mirage and "Race Driver" Kreons
: Mirage can be rebuilt into an F-1 racer based heavily on Mirage's Generation One appearance.

* '''[[Jazz (Kre-O)|Autobot Jazz]]''' (31146) ('''122''' pieces) w/ Jazz and human "Race Driver" Kreons
: Jazz can be rebuilt into a silver sports car with red/blue stripes. The primary coloration of the car (silver/gray) is the same as the live-action movie, but the coloring of the trim pieces and additional sticker details are from the original Generation One appearance. Though the packaging depicts his head to be gray, like the rest of his body, it is in fact, black.

* '''[[Prowl (Kre-O)|Prowl]]''' (30690) ('''190''' pieces) w/ Prowl and human "SWAT Commander" Kreons
: Prowl can be rebuilt into a white police car with black trim, strongly reminiscent of his original incarnation in Generation One.

===Promotional Series===
* Smaller '''Optimus Prime''' (31143) ('''90''' pieces)
: Optimus can be rebuilt into a flat-nosed semi-tractor strongly reminiscent of his appearance of the Classics toyline. This kit does not include a Kreon.

* Smaller '''Bumblebee''' (31144) ('''74''' pieces)
: Bumblebee can be rebuilt into a small sports coupe. Does not include a Kreon. This form is based most heavily on Bumblebee's appearance in the Classics toyline.

* Matrix '''Optimus Prime''' Kreon
: Promotional item given at Botcon 2011, and as a special mail-in promotion through the Kre-O website. Redeco of Optimus Prime Kreon showing the [[Matrix of Leadership]].

* Clear ''' Energon Bumblebee''' Kreon
: An exclusive New York Comic Con 2012 handout, this redeco of the Bumblebee Kreon is done entirely in translucent blue plastic, and comes in its own special little window box with an outer sleeve.

==Quest for Energon==
* '''Destruction Site [[Devastator (Kre-O)|Devastator]]''' (36914) (560 pieces) w/ Devastator, [[Ironhide (Kre-O)|Ironhide]], human "Foreman" and three human "Construction Worker" Kreons
: A "9 in 1" set that includes '''[[Scrapper (Kre-O)|Scrapper]]''', '''[[Drill Bit (Kre-O)|Drill Bit]]''', '''[[Scavenger (Kre-O)|Scavenger]]''' and '''[[Hightower (Kre-O)|Hightower]]''', each of whom can be rebuilt from construction vehicles into robots, or combined into the super robot Devastator. Devastator takes cues from both his Generation 1 and ''Revenge of the Fallen'' incarnations. The set also contains a buildable "construction site" play environment.

* '''Cycle Chase''' (36954) ('''75''' pieces) w/ [[Barricade (Kre-O)|Barricade]] and three [[Autobot Trooper]] Kreons
: This set includes a Decepticon motorcycle that can be rebuilt as a robot drone and a (very) small buildable "Autobot roadblock" play environment.

* '''Rotor Rage''' (36959) ('''217''' pieces) w/ [[Vortex (Kre-O)|Vortex]], human "Commando" and human "ATV Driver" Kreons
: This set features '''Vortex''', who can be built as a robot or a helicopter, as well as a small red all-terrain vehicle.

* '''Street Showdown''' (38771) ('''273''' pieces) w/ [[Wheeljack (Kre-O)|Wheeljack]], [[Knock Out (Kre-O)|Knock Out]], and two human "Driver" Kreons
: '''Wheeljack''' and '''Knock Out''' can each be built as a car or a robot. The mock-up packaging at Toy Fair identifies Knock Out as an Autobot, but he and Wheeljack are fighting anyway.

* '''Decepticon Ambush''' (38781) ('''80''' pieces) w/ [[Cliffjumper (Kre-O)|Cliffjumper]] and three [[Vehicon (Kre-O)|Vehicon]] Kreons
: This set includes an Autobot all-terrain vehicle that can be rebuilt as a robot drone and a (very) small buildable "Decepticon checkpoint" play environment.

* '''Battle for Energon''' (98812) ('''379''' pieces) w/ [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]], human "Security Guard" and human "Bank Robber" Kreons
: '''Optimus Prime''' and '''Megatron''' battle around a buildable "bank" play environment in this set. Optimus can be rebuilt as his conventional longnose semi cab mode, whereas Megatron can now be rebuilt as a Cybertronic battle tank. The Optimus and Megatron Kreons included in this set are more ''Prime''-styled than their previous figures.

* '''Stealth [[Bumblebee (Kre-O)|Bumblebee]]''' (98814) ('''257''' pieces) w/ Bumblebee, human "Driver", and two human "Security Guard" Kreons
: Stealth Bumblebee features a small robot-to-muscle car Bumblebee in his black-with-yellow "Stealth" coloration, as well as a buildable "military checkpoint" play environment and a bright green Decepticon motorcycle. The Bumblebee Kreon in this set is much more ''Prime''-styled than the previous one. The set also for some reason includes a bulldog ([[Bonecrusher (dog)|Bonecrusher]]?).

===Toys R US exclusive===
* '''Autobot Assault [[Devastator (Kre-O)|Devastator]]''' (A1266) ('''781''' pieces) w/ [[Devastator (Kre-O)|Devastator]], [[Ironhide (Kre-O)|Ironhide]], human "Foreman", three human "Construction Workers", and "Gunner" Kreons

A series of videos have been released on Hasbro's ''Kre-O'' website and on YouTube, featuring the wacky antics of the Kre-O Transformers and their Kreons:
*"[[Last Bot Standing]]"
*"[[Bot Stars]]"
*"[[My Ride Is Better than Your Ride]]"
*"[[The Big Race]]"
*"[[A Gift For Megatron]]"
*"[[Megatron's Revenge]]"
*"[[Quest for Energon, Part 1]]"

===Games===
*''[[Kre-O Transformers Konquest]]''
*''[[Kre-O Transformers Comic Creator]]''
*''[[Kre-O Prime Defense]]''

===Books===
*''[[Awesome Autobots Activity Book]]''—actually mainly a ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]]'' book, but it has four Kre-O bonus pages and is co-branded on the cover, as well as coming with a free Matrix Optimus Prime Kreon.

==Notes==
* While the Kre-O bricks and such are compatible with L 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 L 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.
* Kre-O bricks are manufactured by Korean toy company [http://www.oxfordtoy.co.kr/ Oxford]<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/415032-transformers-kre-o-thoughts-19.html#post6288246 Transformers Kre-O - Thoughts? on TFW2005]</ref>.
* Kreon [[Hound (Kre-O)|Hound]] was shown loose at Botcon 2011 with no indication on how he'll be released.
* Small images of a ''Transformers'' Kre-O set featuring a big mechanical scorpion and another set featuring a buildable [[Soundwave (Kre-O)|Soundwave]] were shown at [[Toy Fair 2012]] during the slide presentation, as part of the demonstration of the "build a big energon weapon from parts of the different sets" concept. Neither were present in the showroom or mentioned in the press materials. This same slide was shown during a presentation at [[BotCon 2012]], again with no explicit mention of the mechanical scorpion or Soundwave.

Talk:Transformers: Prime (cartoon)

2012-10-12T03:30:05Z

Cflorestf4: /* Season 2 resumption confirmed */

== Disambig ==

Should this page be disambiguated from the [[Transformers 2010 (franchise)]] page? [[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 17:28, 9 December 2009 (EST)
: I think so, yes. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 20:21, 10 December 2009 (EST)

== Character list ==
Unicron was voiced by John Noble per the character listing on 1 Shall Rise, pt 1.

Forgive me for being overly cautious, but since it's been stated that Michael Bell has auditioned for the roles of Ratchet and Fowler, can we begin a preliminary character list? - [[User:Zadok Rox|Zadok Rox]] 09:38, 14 December 2009 (EST)

:I'm okay with that as long as we are foolishly optimistic enough to leave Optimus Prime and Megatron OFF the character list until confirmed. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 10:46, 14 December 2009 (EST)
::HAHAHAHAHA!!!!--[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 11:52, 14 December 2009 (EST)

:::EVEN THOUGH I KNOW IT WILL BE FOR NAUGHT, THE VERY CONCEPT FILLS MY HEART WITH GLADNESS. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 12:03, 14 December 2009 (EST)

::::Maybe, for the same reason, the character list should just be "characters" and not presume to put them in "Autobots", "Decepticons", and "Humans". Who knows? There could be Maximals! - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 12:10, 14 December 2009 (EST)
:::::Or Unicron's Heralds, for that matter! --[[User:-Blackout-|-Blackout-]] 12:46, 14 December 2009 (EST)
::::::Malignus, Mutants, Throttlebots, Spacebots, Spacecons... -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 16:26, 14 December 2009 (EST)
::::::Unicron, would I love a set of stories focussing mainly on the Chaos Bringer's faction. [[User:Geewunling|Geewunling]] 16:49, 14 December 2009 (EST)
I'm tempted to say that we shouldn't include Bumblebee on the list just yet because we don't know 100% that the yellow robot on the Hub logo is Bumblebee, but I seriously doubt that anybody would toy around (no pun intended) with the general looks of a popular Transformers character (though that would be an awesome twist). - [[User:Zadok Rox|Zadok Rox]] 15:29, 31 March 2010 (EDT)

==Titling==
Shouldn't it be "Prime (cartoon)", considering our stupid rule of removing "Transformers" from article titles? [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 02:01, 6 February 2010 (EST)

:[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Nope]]!--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 02:04, 6 February 2010 (EST)

::I thought the reason we went with "Transformers Animated" is because there was no colon, and therefore "Animated" wasn't a subtitle? --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 02:08, 6 February 2010 (EST)

:::I honestly don't recall there being a colon in just about any TF title. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 02:09, 6 February 2010 (EST)

::::We make exceptions for phrases. This isn't one. I mean, we even had a big ado over moving the ROTF article to be without the "Transformers". [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 02:13, 6 February 2010 (EST)

:::::"Transformers Animated" is much a exception, so it go with the full name. If the title is "Transformers: Prime" when it start airing, I will vote for the "Prime (cartoon)". --''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]''04:09, 6 February 2010 (EST)

== Hub picture ==

Now that we got the logo for 'Transformers: Prime', should we get rid of the Hub logo? I say we do, but I wouldn't object to holding on to it until we get an image solely of Bumblebee. - [[User:Zadok Rox|Zadok Rox]] 07:53, 3 May 2010 (EDT)
:There's room, so we might as well keep it for now. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 08:00, 3 May 2010 (EDT)

== Can we get this article locked if it hasn't been already? ==

I expect a number of (mostly anonymous) editors may attempt to follow a relatively new TFW2005.com staffer's lead and paste in an unverified, uncited cast list from Wikipedia into this article. Thanks. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 14:12, 7 May 2010 (EDT)
:I personally disagree with locking this article. The show should be debuting within the next six months or so, therefore I imagine Hasbro will give us some tidbits of information (not to mention actors' websites, like [[Jeffrey Combs]]). However, if this article does get locked until a later date, I won't make a big deal out of it. - [[User:Zadok Rox|Zadok Rox]] 23:36, 7 May 2010 (EDT)
::It's only blocked against editing by unregistered users. If an unregistered user has a legit piece of info to be added, they can always use the talk page to bring it up. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 23:45, 7 May 2010 (EDT)
:::Or register and then add it directly. (They should still provide citations/links for proof if need be, of course.)--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 05:12, 8 May 2010 (EDT)

== Continuity ==

Might just be me, but shouldn't we place this under "War For Cybertron" continuity or something? Apparantly, it follows the game (or at least the prequel comic, according to the page itself.

-ThiAthEhn
:I'm still not clear on where [[User:Magnus Maximus|Magnus Maximus]] got that from, since it's uncited. We really need to wait and see before we make a decision. Plus if WFC and Prime are in the same continuity, an argument could be made to place WFC in the Prime continuity rather than the other way around.--[[User:Abates|abates]] 05:14, 12 May 2010 (EDT)
::Ask Walky. [[Talk:Dion#Dion is Jazz?|He assured me that the link between WfC and ''Prime'' has been confirmed]], but just didn't mention where or when. That's why I added the {{tl|fact}} tag, so that he or someone else could cite it. - [[User:Magnus Maximus|Magnus Maximus]] 05:45, 12 May 2010 (EDT)
:::Aha! I see! --[[User:Abates|abates]] 06:19, 12 May 2010 (EDT)

So isn't the "link" with WfC just speculation from someone working at TFWiki? There's no citation, and should not be under "CONFIRMED news." --[[Special:Contributions/75.28.55.135|75.28.55.135]] 21:37, 9 June 2010 (EDT)

:I believe Walky said it came directly from the Hasbro reps at toy fair. If so that's confirmed enough for me. And if it turns out to be wrong... eh, we'll know for sure in two weeks at Botcon anyway. That's soon enough to just wait and deal with it then. --[[User:ZacWilliam|ZacWilliam]] 22:31, 9 June 2010 (EDT)

== Chartacter list ==

If It's not Bumblebee, who '''''CAN''''' it be?[[User:TOM|TOM]] 11:08, 16 May 2010 (EDT)
:Yellow Cliffjumper, Bumper, Hot Shot, Armada Sparkplug... it's ''likely'' that it's Bumblebee, but there are other people that look like him. --[[User:NCZ|NCZ]] 11:21, 16 May 2010 (EDT)
::Or a brand new character. I'm very certain that it is Bumblebee, but the producers may blow our minds and say, "Hey, you know your buddy, Bumblebee? Well, he's actually (place bad guy name here) in disguise. Remember Longarm Prime in ''Transformers Animated''? Btw, TOM, to add a comment to a topic, just hit the edit button on top of the page and place your comment below the last comment. You can use colons in front of your statement to space it from the margin. You're learning the ropes and I'm glad you're making an honest effort to benefit this wiki, so don't give up. - [[User:Zadok Rox|Zadok Rox]] 13:28, 16 May 2010 (EDT)

==New continuity family!==
Hey, remember when I said WFC/Prime is probably Primax? Well, I lied! After BotCon's flurry of information I think it's going to have to be its own thing. Not only because, well, it deserves to be, but because it will make our lives a lot easier and our pages a lot clearer. Back when the movie came out, we also considered making THAT G1, but declined when we realized the sheer amount of material and focus would make it impractical. The same here. Also, comments from Aaron Archer put the new continuity in perspective.

He ALSO doesn't like calling it "Prime," since that's not what he wants to call it, but it's all we got at the moment. He doesn't have a name for this new continuity (family), but is trying to think of one eventually. So, uh, in the meantime, I think we're stuck with calling it "Prime." Dem's the breaks until we get a time machine and can ask 2012 Aaron Archer or whatever. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 11:01, 29 June 2010 (EDT)
:Yeah, EVERYTHING was already pointing in the way of a new continuity family, so I'm glad the wiki now has the green light to separate this stuff. Not that that will spare me from redoing certain location articles, but it's at least a lot easier. [[User:Geewunling|Geewunling]] 11:58, 29 June 2010 (EDT)
:P.S., do Demolishor (WFC) and Slipstream (WFC) have to be moved now? [[User:Geewunling|Geewunling]] 11:59, 29 June 2010 (EDT)
::Optimus Prime (Prime)? Reminds me of [[Cyclonus (Armada)]]. Anyway, looks like we're going to have to fix a lot of links and move a fair bit of information related to the War for Cybertron pages. --[[User:NCZ|NCZ]] 12:12, 29 June 2010 (EDT)
:::I concur completely. This seems very much like a new continuity, albeit with very strong G1 and Movie influences, though the Unicron Trilogy and Animated get some characters and ideas dropped in as well.--[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 12:22, 29 June 2010 (EDT)
::::As I said on [[Transformers: War for Cybertron]] ":I'm beginning to wonder if the "G1 continuity family" is heading towards collapse under its own weight. I'm not sure there will ever be another franchise that isn't "terribly G1y" in the future. The discussion a few years back about whether Movie and Animated belonged in their own continuity families, the synthetic nature of the Hall of Fame bios, the integration of Mini-Cons into G1 universes, all point towards a blending effect in TF universes." --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 12:42, 29 June 2010 (EDT)

While Archer may not like calling it "Prime," that ''would'' seem to be the parenthetical if we follow the same protocol we did for the Unicron Trilogy. Franchise of origin and all. Alternately, we could tag all of them (WFC) if they first appeared in that game, but that doesn't seem quite right.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 12:46, 29 June 2010 (EDT)
:Then we'd wind up with another Shattered Glass/Timelines situation where it really made no sense why some were tagged one way and some another (at least not to the more casual fan). --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 12:50, 29 June 2010 (EDT)
::Exodus had the same street-date as WFC, didn't it? I know we're having this discussion simultaneously on Allspark, which... probably isn't a good idea.... but I suggested "EWP" as a suffix until something better comes along. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] 13:02, 29 June 2010 (EDT)
:::I would suggest using either "Prime", "WFC" or "Exodus" (only one of them though!) until something clearer comes along. "EWP" just seems needlessly confusing. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 13:12, 29 June 2010 (EDT)
::::I tend to think (Prime) is the best suffix we'll get, since we normally use franchise and Prime seems like the most likely candidate to be the franchise name. Exodus and WFC are definitely not franchises, but Prime might be. Of course, one wonders what will happen if Hasbro decides to completely move away from the concept of franchises... --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 13:14, 29 June 2010 (EDT)
:::::According to the TFormers.com BotCon report, Aaron Archer said Hasbro wasn't planning on doing TF:Prime toys. And, for that matter, we know there ''are'' WFC toys, so at the moment WFC actually looks more franchisey. But that having been said, I still vote for "(Prime)" across the board because that's almost guaranteed to be the most prominent, central, and dominant element of this continuity. - [[User:Jackpot|Jackpot]] 13:43, 29 June 2010 (EDT)
::::::Aaron Archer said he "wasn't there to talk about toys," but the fiction/show/cartoon. I think this statement was being misconstrued. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 13:44, 29 June 2010 (EDT)
:::::::Ah, thanks for clarifying. That did seem like an odd decision on Hasbro's part. - [[User:Jackpot|Jackpot]] 13:48, 29 June 2010 (EDT)
::::::::Aaron's wording was poorly-chosen. He really did say something like "right now there isn't a toyline," and of course he could only have meant it as a figure of speech to cover what he was willing to talk about during that 20 minutes and not that there actually isn't a toyline. It's impossible that there wouldn't be a toyline. You don't make a CGI toy commercial without them. --Thy, not logged in.
:::::::::Or it could have meant that the details weren't ready for a public reveal or that the figures would simply be released as part of the unsubtitled "Transformers" line. Lots of ambiguity. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 14:15, 29 June 2010 (EDT)
::::::::::Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the toys just ended up in the general ''Transformers'' line, which would make TF:Prime about exactly as franchisey as WFC. Still, like I said above, even if there WEREN'T any toys I would still lean towards "(Prime)" for its likely real-world dominance. - [[User:Jackpot|Jackpot]] 14:33, 29 June 2010 (EDT)

:::"Prime" will be good. --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 13:54, 29 June 2010 (EDT)

::Has anybody tried to mock up a Prime (franchise) page that could explain how the Prime TV show, WFC videogame and Exodus novel are related and give a comparison/contrast to other franchises? I think I've got an idea what's going on, but I'd like to see a coherent write up from someone who has seen the actual materials. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 15:01, 11 July 2010 (EDT)
:::I don't know if the "Prime (franchise)" page would be the best place for that. That would be for the cartoon stuff and related toyline. But we need a continuity page, like [[Movie continuity]]. Based on the [[Hasbro Q&A/September 2010|September Q&A]] we could call it the "modern continuity". That's what Hasbro called it. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 18:19, 1 November 2010 (EDT)
::::Because it's "modern" as in HAPPENING NOW, not as if it was a proper noun! Calling it "Modern" would be astoundingly dumb. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 23:21, 1 November 2010 (EDT)
:::::Are you calling Hasbro dumb? That's what they called it. For better or worse "modern" is sometimes used like that. "Modern architecture" doesn't mean the style of architecture right now. I have a "modern continuity" page ready. I almost pressed "save page" but I checked the recent changes and found this. We need a continuity page anyway. I think I will hit save before I go to bed. It can be moved. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 23:47, 1 November 2010 (EDT)
::::::Do you understand the difference between lower and upper case letters? --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 23:54, 1 November 2010 (EDT)
::::::Tell you what, we'll resume this conversation when you learn what "context" means. And your "Modern (franchise)" page will be deleted. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 23:56, 1 November 2010 (EDT)
:::::::Not "modern (franchise)". "Modern continuity", as in [[:Category:Continuities]]. I din't think it was a proper noun anymore than [[movie continuity]] is. You can delete it, I suppose. Or, if it is a good page, you could rename it whatever you want. Like "War for Cybertron/Exodus/Prime continuity". - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 00:07, 2 November 2010 (EDT)
::::::::I thought it was a good page. Probably did need to be moved to a better name. But then it was deleted. Um, oh well? --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 00:58, 2 November 2010 (EDT)
:::::::::I saved it as a text file. I could reload it under a different name if anyone wants. Just let me know what name. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 11:14, 2 November 2010 (EDT)

== Protecting ==

Since Seibertron has posted details of the first two episodes, should we protect this page against anon editing to minimise spoilers? --[[User:Abates|abates]] 20:59, 22 November 2010 (EST)
:It appears to already be protected. --[[User:NCZ|NCZ]] 21:12, 22 November 2010 (EST)

== Help! Paradox! ==

Could someone please explain to me how War For Cybertron fits in the Prime Universe. I have a whole list of paradoxs:

*Megatron:In WFC, he was a tank, while in Prime, he was a jet. In WFC, Megatron new how to control dark energon, and used it often, but in Prime, he did not fuse it with his spark until he arrived on Earth.
*Starscream: First, his color scheme is different, in WFC, he is G1 like, but in Prime, he is movie like. Also, in The Darkness Rising Part 2, Starscream acted as if he hadn't came in contact with Dark Energon, but heard about it. However, the WFC Starscream knew exactly what Dark Energon does, and wants to learn how to weild it.
*Soundwave: Soundwave in WFC is like G1, with Laserbeak, Rumble, Frenzy, however in Prime, he is quiet, doesn' talk much,
(and even then, he just repeats recordings of what others have said) and only has 1 drone (Ratbat, i beleive his name is now.
*Ratchet:Rachet in WFC new what Drak Energon was, for it was alover Cybertron and Optimus pointed it out. In Prime, though, he says Dark Energon is so rare, its existence is doughted.
*Bumblebee:In WFC, he can talk and has a mouth, but in prime, he cannot talk. (Similar to his movie version.)
*Cliffjumper: In WFC, heis basicallya retool of Bumblebee, but in Prime, he is his own mold.
*Arcee: In WFC, she is like er G1 counterpart (and is a pink car), but the prime version is more like the movie version, and somewhat of a ninja. (And is a blue motercycle.)
*Dark Energon: In WFC, it was said it corrupts and destroys. But in Prime, it has the power to revive the dead. It is all over cybertron in WFC, and heck, even the Core of Cybertron is corrupted with it. But in Prime, it is apperently "so rare", how was it found on cybertron? Better yet in WFC, why was it being manufactured? (WARNING!!! SPOLIER ALERT!!! SPOLIERS UP AHEAD!!! STOP READING IF YOU DON'T LIKE SPOILERS!!!! WARNING!!!) and Prime, why is Megaton trying to ressurct ever dead cybertronian on Cybertron? Couldn't he have just done that in WFC?

Some clarification would be great. Also, I know the whole "Scanning alt mode" thing could change the way they look, but in the Prime comic,they still look the same in Cybertrnian form. Please help clarify some things.[[User:LordDalek|LordDalek]] 10:02, 3 December 2010 (EST)

::::We don't need a reason. Characters changing their altmode is not some strange new thing that's unique to Megatron (Prime). G1 Megs went from gun to cannon to nothing to tank, back to gun, sometimes a car... UT Megs went from tank to spaceship to dragster/jet triple changer to... dinosaur. And Movie Megs has been both a tank and a jet. And all this is beside the point that we have been handed down an official reason in WFC Megatron's tech spec bio.

But I don't know If you read my comment but I tried to end this whole paradox conversation. Ok, I confused something big whoop. You don't have to act like a jerk saying "I want someone to tell me how having a different alt mode in the past is a paradox." Why don't you just ban me from this sight because I said that he had an new alt mode in the past.

Because this statement by Hasbro "Continuity. Present day, after "movie" type events. Autobots on earth,hiding." does not mean the same thing as this note by us "*Though part of the [[aligned continuity family]] with the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' fiction, the show's immediate Earth-set backstory is meant to be "[[live-action film series|post-movie]]".

== Divide & Conquer ==

The episode 13 listing, "Divide & Conquer", is actually a episode of G1 airing on the Sunday after the "Predatory" episode airs. It also hasn't been given a description, even though the "Sick Mind" episode has. It's clearly the G1 episode, and not one of TFP's episodes. {{unsigned|72.23.116.251}}

Divide and Conquer airing the day after Predatory first airs is a dead giveaway. It's still odd that it's part of the TFP episode guide, but it just wouldn't make sense to release two new episodes so close to each other like that.

Oddly enough, the Hub isn't playing the G1 episode that day either. I wonder where MSN got that listing from. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 19:34, 11 April 2011 (EDT)

I noticed that a lot of the character profiles seem to have stopped showing screen caps around after the last 4 episodes. You guys want me to get screen caps of all the characters? or just leave it?

== Something of Note ==

Something I've noticed in the series is something fairly unusual: all of the Transformers with flight-capable alt. mode have, thus far, been shown to be incapable of flight in robot mode. Megatron and Starscream have both been shown to have to Transform ''before'' they become capable of flight, while Soundwave has yet to transform himself. This is fairly unusual in the Transformers franchise, is it not?--[[Special:Contributions/184.100.200.98|184.100.200.98]] 15:06, 14 October 2011 (EDT)
: Soundwave has transformed. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 15:14, 14 October 2011 (EDT)

Alright, my mistake. But in the mean-time, have any flight-capable alt. mode Transformers shown flight capabilities in their robot mode? Because if not I'm certain that's a first for the Transformers franchise.--[[Special:Contributions/184.100.200.98|184.100.200.98]] 15:30, 14 October 2011 (EDT)
: I think the movie already tackled that, for the most part. Blackout and Megatron never flew in robot modes, and Starscream has those jet boosters on his back that enabled him to stay aloft for a few seconds between jet transformations in the first movie. To my best recollection. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 15:42, 14 October 2011 (EDT)

Megatron flew in ROTF. Blackout was just plain destroyed.--[[Special:Contributions/184.100.200.98|184.100.200.98]] 15:48, 14 October 2011 (EDT)

== Least Transformation ==

So there's a note at the bottom of this page which says that this show features the least amout of transformation of any show. This seems to me to be an opinion and not the type of thing we should note on this Wiki and I'm not even sure it's accuarate. What do you guys think.

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. - [[User:Vanguard|Vanguard]] 11:57, 24 June 2011 (EDT)
::::::I'm inclined to say a Kre-O continuity is the most parsimonious solution. I don' want to have some of them called G1 and some called Movie or whatever, and the fact that the Kreons at least have their own little bios gives it more weight. -[[Special:Contributions/70.62.10.14|70.62.10.14]] 12:27, 24 June 2011 (EDT)

'''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]]'' was the first Hasbro brand to be released as Kre-O construction brick kits. The kits 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 human drivers. Prices 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 most of the Transformer Kreons are strongly based on the [[Sunbow Productions|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.

==Sets==
* '''[[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|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 (Kre-O)|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 (Kre-O)|Megatron]]''' (30668) ('''310''' pieces) w/ Megatron, Shockwave, human "Specialist" and human SWAT "Police" Kreon
: Megatron can be rebuilt into a gray semi-cab, based heavily on his appearance in the live-action movie ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]''. The robot mode head sculpt and overall robot mode coloration, however, is based on his [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|''Animated'']] appearance.

* '''[[Starscream (Kre-O)|Starscream]]''' (30667) ('''316''' pieces) w/ Starscream and human "Pilot" Kreons
: Starscream can transform into a jet somewhat resembling an F-14. His coloration and robot mode are heavily influenced by his original 1984 and Universe (2009) appearance.

* '''[[Sideswipe (Kre-O)|Sideswipe]]''' (31771) ('''220''' pieces) w/ Sideswipe and human "Driver" Kreons
: Sideswipe can be rebuilt into a red sportscar that somewhat homages his original Generation One appearance, but with additional detailing very loosely based on some of his movie-incarnation toys.

* '''[[Ratchet (Kre-O)|Autobot Ratchet]]''' (30662) ('''197''' pieces) w/ Ratchet and human "Medic" Kreons
: Ratchet can be rebuilt into an ambulance that strongly resembles his appearance in Transformers: Animated. The robot mode seems to be a mix of his original Generation One appearance as well as his Animated appearance.

* '''[[Bumblebee (Kre-O)|Bumblebee]]''' (36421) ('''336''' pieces) w/ Bumblebee, Red Alert, and human "Driver" Kreons
: Bumblebee can be rebuilt into a Camaro-like muscle car, based on the live-action movies. The head sculpt is a mix of Bumblebee's various incarnations. The human "Driver" is strongly reminiscent of [[Sam Witwicky]] from the live-action movies.

===Basic Series===
* '''[[Mirage (Kre-O)|Mirage]]''' (31145) ('''119''' pieces) w/ Mirage and "Race Driver" Kreons
: Mirage can be rebuilt into an F-1 racer based heavily on Mirage's Generation One appearance.

* '''[[Jazz (Kre-O)|Autobot Jazz]]''' (31146) ('''122''' pieces) w/ Jazz and human "Race Driver" Kreons
: Jazz can be rebuilt into a silver sports car with red/blue stripes. The primary coloration of the car (silver/gray) is the same as the live-action movie, but the coloring of the trim pieces and additional sticker details are from the original Generation One appearance. Though the packaging depicts his head to be gray, like the rest of his body, it is in fact, black.

* '''[[Prowl (Kre-O)|Prowl]]''' (30690) ('''190''' pieces) w/ Prowl and human "SWAT Commander" Kreons
: Prowl can be rebuilt into a white police car with black trim, strongly reminiscent of his original incarnation in Generation One.

===Promotional Series===
* Smaller '''Optimus Prime''' (31143) ('''90''' pieces)
: Optimus can be rebuilt into a flat-nosed semi-tractor strongly reminiscent of his appearance of the Classics toyline. This kit does not include a Kreon.

* Smaller '''Bumblebee''' (31144) ('''74''' pieces)
: Bumblebee can be rebuilt into a small sports coupe. Does not include a Kreon. This form is based most heavily on Bumblebee's appearance in the Classics toyline.

* Matrix '''Optimus Prime''' Kreon
: Promotional item given at Botcon 2011, and as a special mail-in promotion through the Kre-O website. Redeco of Optimus Prime Kreon showing the [[Matrix of Leadership]].

* Clear ''' Energon Bumblebee''' Kreon
: Kreon is done entirely in translucent blue plastic, and comes in its own special little window box with an outer sleeve [[Energon Bumblebee]]. Will be a NYCC 2012 handout exlusive.

==Quest for Energon==
* '''Destruction Site [[Devastator (Kre-O)|Devastator]]''' (36914) (560 pieces) w/ Devastator, [[Ironhide (Kre-O)|Ironhide]], human "Foreman" and three human "Construction Worker" Kreons
: A "9 in 1" set that includes '''[[Scrapper (Kre-O)|Scrapper]]''', '''[[Drill Bit (Kre-O)|Drill Bit]]''', '''[[Scavenger (Kre-O)|Scavenger]]''' and '''[[Hightower (Kre-O)|Hightower]]''', each of whom can be rebuilt from construction vehicles into robots, or combined into the super robot Devastator. Devastator takes cues from both his Generation 1 and ''Revenge of the Fallen'' incarnations. The set also contains a buildable "construction site" play environment.

* '''Cycle Chase''' (36954) ('''75''' pieces) w/ [[Barricade (Kre-O)|Barricade]] and three [[Autobot Trooper]] Kreons
: This set includes a Decepticon motorcycle that can be rebuilt as a robot drone and a (very) small buildable "Autobot roadblock" play environment.

* '''Rotor Rage''' (36959) ('''217''' pieces) w/ [[Vortex (Kre-O)|Vortex]], human "Commando" and human "ATV Driver" Kreons
: This set features '''Vortex''', who can be built as a robot or a helicopter, as well as a small red all-terrain vehicle.

* '''Street Showdown''' (38771) ('''273''' pieces) w/ [[Wheeljack (Kre-O)|Wheeljack]], [[Knock Out (Kre-O)|Knock Out]], and two human "Driver" Kreons
: '''Wheeljack''' and '''Knock Out''' can each be built as a car or a robot. The mock-up packaging at Toy Fair identifies Knock Out as an Autobot, but he and Wheeljack are fighting anyway.

* '''Decepticon Ambush''' (38781) ('''80''' pieces) w/ [[Cliffjumper (Kre-O)|Cliffjumper]] and three [[Vehicon (Kre-O)|Vehicon]] Kreons
: This set includes an Autobot all-terrain vehicle that can be rebuilt as a robot drone and a (very) small buildable "Decepticon checkpoint" play environment.

* '''Battle for Energon''' (98812) ('''379''' pieces) w/ [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]], human "Security Guard" and human "Bank Robber" Kreons
: '''Optimus Prime''' and '''Megatron''' battle around a buildable "bank" play environment in this set. Optimus can be rebuilt as his conventional longnose semi cab mode, whereas Megatron can now be rebuilt as a Cybertronic battle tank. The Optimus and Megatron Kreons included in this set are more ''Prime''-styled than their previous figures.

* '''Stealth [[Bumblebee (Kre-O)|Bumblebee]]''' (98814) ('''257''' pieces) w/ Bumblebee, human "Driver", and two human "Security Guard" Kreons
: Stealth Bumblebee features a small robot-to-muscle car Bumblebee in his black-with-yellow "Stealth" coloration, as well as a buildable "military checkpoint" play environment and a bright green Decepticon motorcycle. The Bumblebee Kreon in this set is much more ''Prime''-styled than the previous one. The set also for some reason includes a bulldog ([[Bonecrusher (dog)|Bonecrusher]]?).

===Toys R US exclusive===
* '''Autobot Assault [[Devastator (Kre-O)|Devastator]]''' (A1266) ('''781''' pieces) w/ [[Devastator (Kre-O)|Devastator]], [[Ironhide (Kre-O)|Ironhide]], human "Foreman", three human "Construction Workers", and "Gunner" Kreons
: Autobot Assault Devastator is a Toys R Us store exclusive 2-pack set which includes the Kre-O Destruction Site Devastator set as well as an exclusive Ironhide set only available in this 2-pack, which also comes with a small brick house, and a new "Gunner" Kreon. The Devastator Kreon in this set has been switched to a ''Generation 2'' yellow deco.

==Kreon Micro-Changers==
This sub-line adds a new element to Kreon figures; a few extra parts allow each figure to transform.
===Combiners===
{{comingsoontoy}}
Four Kreons per pack combine into one larger robot.
* Superion (Silverbolt, Air Raid, Skydive, and Fireflight)

==Notes==
* While the Kre-O bricks and such are compatible with L 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 L 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.
* Kre-O bricks are manufactured by Korean toy company [http://www.oxfordtoy.co.kr/ Oxford]<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/415032-transformers-kre-o-thoughts-19.html#post6288246 Transformers Kre-O - Thoughts? on TFW2005]</ref>.
* Kreon [[Hound (Kre-O)|Hound]] was shown loose at Botcon 2011 with no indication on how he'll be released.
* Small images of a ''Transformers'' Kre-O set featuring a big mechanical scorpion and another set featuring a buildable [[Soundwave (Kre-O)|Soundwave]] were shown at [[Toy Fair 2012]] during the slide presentation, as part of the demonstration of the "build a big energon weapon from parts of the different sets" concept. Neither were present in the showroom or mentioned in the press materials. This same slide was shown during a presentation at [[BotCon 2012]], again with no explicit mention of the mechanical scorpion or Soundwave.

* Kreon [[Hound (Kre-O)|Hound]] was shown loose at Botcon 2011 with no indication on how he'll be released.
* Small images of a ''Transformers'' Kre-O set featuring a big mechanical scorpion and another set featuring a buildable [[Soundwave (Kre-O)|Soundwave]] were shown at [[Toy Fair 2012]] during the slide presentation, as part of the demonstration of the "build a big energon weapon from parts of the different sets" concept. Neither were present in the showroom or mentioned in the press materials. This same slide was shown during a presentation at [[BotCon 2012]], again with no explicit mention of the mechanical scorpion or Soundwave.
