====Preview Series====<br />
[[File:KreO-toy KreonMCPreviewWave.jpg|right|300px|]]<br />
:*''Release date'': [[Calendar|August]] 2012<br />
<br />
:This series differs a little from the later waves, and not just because of the smaller (all-badguy) cast. In an unusual backwards move, the [[tampograph]]s on these figures' chests use only a single color, typically black. Also, five of the figures had clear-purple weapons; later waves would move (mostly) to opaque pistols.<br />

:*''Release date'': [[Calendar|March]] 2014<br />
[[File:KreO-Toy MicroChangersS4bag.jpg|right|300px|]]<br />
: Sooo much fanwank. The last wave of Micro-Changers available at "normal" retail, though largely being distributed via the Walgreens drug store chain in the US. This is the only batch (so far) to have a significant [[variant]], as [[Cyclonus (Kre-O)|Cyclonus]] can come in either bag-back lavender or a much darker purple, depending on the batch. This is also the first wave to use "harness" pieces in colors other than the standard light gray.<br />
<br />
: Unlike prior waves in which every figure came with individual [[instructions]], these Micro-Changers all come with the same large fold-out instruction for all of the models in the series, making the "feel parts through the bags" method very difficult (but you have the code numbers here, so why are you even doing that, huh?).<br />

[[Image:Logo Micro-Changers.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]<br />
It was only a matter of time before [[Kreon]]s became so advanced that they were able to [[transformation|transform]] like their larger counterparts. Transforming Kreons are known as '''Micro-Changers'''. Some of them have even gained the ability to join together into [[Combiner]]s.<br />
<br />
==Fiction==<br />
===Kre-O cartoon===<br />
A story in the ''[[Autobot City News]]'' reported that scientists were baffled by the appearance of Micro-Changers. A number of them assisted [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]] in stealing [[energon]] {{storylink|Quest for Energon, Part 1}} so he could make a grilled cheese sandwich. {{storylink|Quest for Energon, Part 2}}<br />

===Blind-bagged figures===<br />
This portion of the line features individual [[blindpacking|blind-packaged]] Kreons. Thankfully however, code numbers printed on each bag allow you to know which figure is inside... or at least avoid buying two of the same by accident.<br />

====Preview Series====<br />
[[File:KreO-toy KreonMCPreviewWave.jpg|right|300px|]]<br />
:*''Release date'': [[Calendar|August]] 2012<br />
<br />
:This series differs a little from the later waves, and not just because of the smaller (all-badguy) cast. In an unusual backwards move, the [[tampograph]]s on these figures' chests use only a single color, typically black. Also, five of the figures had clear-purple weapons; later waves would move (mostly) to opaque pistols.<br />

[[File:KreO-Toy MicroChangersS4bag.jpg|right|300px|]]<br />
: Sooo much fanwank. The last wave of Micro-Changers available at "normal" retail, though largely being distributed via the Walgreens drug store chain in the US. This is the only batch (so far) to have a significant [[variant]], as [[Cyclonus (Kre-O)|Cyclonus]] can come in either bag-back lavender or a much darker purple, depending on the batch. This is also the first wave to use "harness" pieces in colors other than the standard light gray.<br />
<br />
: Unlike prior waves in which every figure came with individual [[instructions]], these Micro-Changers all come with the same large fold-out instruction for all of the models in the series, making the "feel parts through the bags" method very difficult (but you have the code numbers here, so why are you even doing that, huh?).<br />

<br />
'''Kre-O''' is [[Hasbro]]'s second foray into the world of brick-based construction toy sets, several years after the ignoble effort that was ''[[Built to Rule]]''.<br />
<br />
Unveiled at [[Toy Fair 2011]], ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' was the first Hasbro brand to be released as Kre-O construction brick kits. The kits (generally) 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 (mostly nameless generics). Prices range from $7.99 to $59.99, plus individually-bagged Kreon figures at $2.99.<br />
<br />
The line launched in the US on [[June 6]]th, [[2011]]. Since then, ''Kre-O'' has expanded into a [[multi-property brand]], with sets based on other Hasbro franchises including ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'', ''Battleship'', and ''Dungeons & Dragons'', as well as the licensed properties ''[[Star Trek]]'' and ''Cityville Invasion''.<br />
<br />
In 2013, [[TakaraTomy]] brought the line to Japan, primarily the second-year ''Transformers'' sets.<br />

==Building sets==<br />
===2011===<br />
The first series saw widespread brick-and-mortar distribution in the US. The main focus of the sets were large robot/vehicle builds with a ''lot'' of parts. Really a lot. Limbs were many times thick masses of panel-parts laid over each other, and many sets had extremely limited posability, with simple swivel elbows & knees. Robot builds took many elements from the then-current ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)| Dark of the Moon]]'' series, though the heads were mostly designed around the characters' [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] incarnations.<br />
<br />
The robot Kreons? ''VERY'' G1-inspired.<br />

<br />
===2012 (''Quest for Energon'')===<br />
The second-year ''Kre-O Transformers'' sets mark a definite change in style. Dubbed "Quest for Energon", each set contains several "energon" pieces; at least one [[Skeletron|clear-plastic Kreon torso]] (blue for Autobots, purple for Decepticons), and several clear-purple "[[Dark Energon]]" parts to assemble a giant "[[ultimate Dark Energon weapon]]". The robot/vehicle builds in this year's sets are generally smaller, simpler, and less reliant on the "massive stack of flat plates" construction style common in the first year, relying a lot more on large ball-and-socket-jointed bricks to build limbs and bodies around.<br />
<br />
There was a heavier focus on the Kreons overall, with mini-playsets, mini-vehicles and a pair of [[army-building|army builder]] sets. The robot Kreons are more often based on their [[Aligned continuity family]] incarnations than Generation 1. Human Kreons had new arm-pieces with rounded-off shoulders, rather than the blocky shoulders of all first-year Kreons. <br />
<br />
This series also suffered a distribution issue in the US. [[Walmart]] stopped carrying ''Kre-O'' after its first year (with one tiny exception), and only [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] appeared to carry the entire second-year assortment; the "Rotor Rage" and "Destruction Site Devastator" sets in particular didn't seem to show up at certain retailers.<br />
<br />
Most of these sets were also made available in Japan as part of the initial ''Kre-O'' roll-out by [[TakaraTomy]].<br />

<br />
===2013 (''Beast Hunters'')===<br />
Bringing the series in-line with the then-current ''[[Beast Hunters]]'' branding of ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]]'', this series was even ''more'' limited in its US distribution, seemingly available only at ToysЯUs and Meijer.<br />
<br />
This time around, the human Kreons were based on specific ''Transformers'' human characters from prior series rather than the prior two years' nameless generics... much to the bafflement of the [[fandom]], who wanted them to be doing that from the get-go.<br />
<br />

<br />
===2014 (''Age of Extinction'')===<br />
Tying in with that [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|big new movie in 2014]], The ''Kre-O'' sets this year are ''heavily'' based around building robo-dinos. Many sets also feature "Dino Force Technology", which are pieces that include magnets in them so claws and dino-maws can snatch up Kreons wearing ferrous-metal backpacks or helmets.<br />
<br />
By this point, ''Kre-O'' in its entirety became a [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] [[exclusive]] toyline.<br />

==Micro-Changers==<br />
Introduced in 2012, the [[Micro-Changer]]s sub-line adds a new element to Kreon figures; extra parts allow each figure to "transform" into a vehicle or beast (or whatever).<br />
<br />
Thankfully, the Micro-Changer series did not suffer the limited-distribution fate of the ''Beast Hunters'' sets; after a rocky start, by 2013 the series was stocked regularly not just by ToysЯUs, but [[Target]] as well, plus many large drug store chains began carrying the individually-bagged figures.<br />
<br />
===Blind-bagged figures===<br />
This portion of the line features individual [[blindpacking|blind-packaged]] Kreons. Thankfully however, code numbers printed on each bag allow you to know which figure is inside... or at least avoid buying two of the same by accident.<br />

: For the first full series, the multi-colored tampographs made a glorious comeback. Also, a new display-stand brick was added to every figure, a black 2x4 piece with the "Kre-O" logo in white on one edge.<br />
: Also changed is how the bag numbers work, with a 7-digit code. Only the final two numbers in the codes are indicators of what Kreon is in the bag, the first five are likely manufacturing plant codes or something and have no bearing on the contents, and can vary from case to case. For simplicity's sake, we've *****'d out the first five digits from here on out.<br />

: This series replaced the flak jackets used to attach stuff to prior Micro Changers' torsos in prior waves (which most fans hated since it obscured the chest tampographs) with a new simple one-peg "backpack" piece. And there was much rejoicing. On top of that, at this stage the "vehicle" builds become a little more complex, using more parts to make them look more like tiny vehicles than just robots laying face-down with a thing or two on their backs.<br />

==Custom Kreons==<br />
First released at the back-end of 2013, these individually-carded Kreons include a huge number of extra body parts and accessories, many [[vacuum metallizing|chromed]] (thus resulting in some ''extremely'' tight fits) or translucent (which, when combined with the chromed parts, may end up with stress fractures). They also come with a customizable "rack" to store said extra parts. "Repeat" characters have all new, more extensive [[tampograph]]s across most of their (opaque) parts.<br />
<br />
This series was intentionally produced in smaller numbers than the other series. So far it appears that once again [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] was the only US retailer to order them, though they were made available off of [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] as well.<br />

==Notes==<br />
* 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>, who have been making not-L sets for a while. However, it is very much a lot of new part design work, especially the far more involved construction of the [[Kreon]]s; Oxford's pre-''Kre-O'' mini-figures were basically straight-up L Minifigure construction.<br />
* Kreon [[Hound (Kre-O)|Hound]] was among the upcoming items revealed at [[BotCon 2011]]... and was only announced to be released in late 2013, and wasn't released until midway through 2014. Amusingly, his helmet has become one of the most ubiquitous among the Kreons thanks to its very generic styling.<br />
* Small images of a ''Kre-O Transformers'' 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.<br />
* 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. Just be a bit careful you don't scrape face-paint off.<br />
* The L company has since released sets that are explicitly marketed as being able to assemble as robots and various vehicles and aircraft, very similar to the ''Transformers'' Kre-O concept.<br />
* Several ''Kre-O'' bricks are reuses of Hasbro's long defunct ''Built to Rule'' interlocking brick system.<br />

<br />
'''Kre-O''' is [[Hasbro]]'s second foray into the world of brick-based construction toy sets, several years after the ignoble effort that was ''[[Built to Rule]]''.<br />
<br />
Unveiled at [[Toy Fair 2011]], ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' was the first Hasbro brand to be released as Kre-O construction brick kits. The kits (generally) 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 (mostly nameless generics). Prices range from $7.99 to $59.99, plus individually-bagged Kreon figures at $2.99.<br />
<br />
The line launched in the US on [[June 6]]th, [[2011]]. Since then, ''Kre-O'' has expanded into a [[multi-property brand]], with sets based on other Hasbro franchises including ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'', ''Battleship'', and ''Dungeons & Dragons'', as well as the licensed properties ''[[Star Trek]]'' and ''Cityville Invasion''.<br />
<br />
In 2013, [[TakaraTomy]] brought the line to Japan, primarily the second-year ''Transformers'' sets.<br />

<br />
==Building sets==<br />
===2011===<br />
The first series saw widespread brick-and-mortar distribution in the US. The main focus of the sets were large robot/vehicle builds with a ''lot'' of parts. Really a lot. Limbs were many times thick masses of panel-parts laid over each other, and many sets had extremely limited posability, with simple swivel elbows & knees. Robot builds took many elements from the then-current ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)| Dark of the Moon]]'' series, though the heads were mostly designed around the characters' [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] incarnations.<br />
<br />
The robot Kreons? ''VERY'' G1-inspired.<br />

<br />
===2012 (''Quest for Energon'')===<br />
The second-year ''Kre-O Transformers'' sets mark a definite change in style. Dubbed "Quest for Energon", each set contains several "energon" pieces; at least one [[Skeletron|clear-plastic Kreon torso]] (blue for Autobots, purple for Decepticons), and several clear-purple "[[Dark Energon]]" parts to assemble a giant "[[ultimate Dark Energon weapon]]". The robot/vehicle builds in this year's sets are generally smaller, simpler, and less reliant on the "massive stack of flat plates" construction style common in the first year, relying a lot more on large ball-and-socket-jointed bricks to build limbs and bodies around.<br />
<br />
There was a heavier focus on the Kreons overall, with mini-playsets, mini-vehicles and a pair of [[army-building|army builder]] sets. The robot Kreons are more often based on their [[Aligned continuity family]] incarnations than Generation 1. Human Kreons had new arm-pieces with rounded-off shoulders, rather than the blocky shoulders of all first-year Kreons. <br />
<br />
This series also suffered a distribution issue in the US. [[Walmart]] stopped carrying ''Kre-O'' after its first year (with one tiny exception), and only [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] appeared to carry the entire second-year assortment; the "Rotor Rage" and "Destruction Site Devastator" sets in particular didn't seem to show up at certain retailers.<br />
<br />
Most of these sets were also made available in Japan as part of the initial ''Kre-O'' roll-out by [[TakaraTomy]].<br />

<br />
===2013 (''Beast Hunters'')===<br />
Bringing the series in-line with the then-current ''[[Beast Hunters]]'' branding of ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]]'', this series was even ''more'' limited in its US distribution, seemingly available only at ToysЯUs and Meijer.<br />
<br />
This time around, the human Kreons were based on specific ''Transformers'' human characters from prior series rather than the prior two years' nameless generics... much to the bafflement of the [[fandom]], who wanted them to be doing that from the get-go.<br />

Tying in with that [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|big new movie in 2014]], The ''Kre-O'' sets this year are ''heavily'' based around building robo-dinos.

==Micro-Changers==<br />
Introduced in 2012, the [[Micro-Changer]]s sub-line adds a new element to Kreon figures; extra parts allow each figure to "transform" into a vehicle or beast (or whatever).<br />
<br />
Thankfully, the Micro-Changer series did not suffer the limited-distribution fate of the ''Beast Hunters'' sets; after a rocky start, by 2013 the series was stocked regularly not just by ToysЯUs, but [[Target]] as well, plus many large drug store chains began carrying the individually-bagged figures.<br />
<br />
===Blind-bagged figures===<br />
This portion of the line features individual [[blindpacking|blind-packaged]] Kreons. Thankfully however, code numbers printed on each bag allow you to know which figure is inside... or at least avoid buying two of the same by accident.<br />

: For the first full series, the multi-colored tampographs made a glorious comeback. Also, a new display-stand brick was added to every figure, a black 2x4 piece with the "Kre-O" logo in white on one edge.<br />
: Also changed is how the bag numbers work, with a 7-digit code. Only the final two numbers in the codes are indicators of what Kreon is in the bag, the first five are likely manufacturing plant codes or something and have no bearing on the contents, and can vary from case to case. For simplicity's sake, we've *****'d out the first five digits from here on out.<br />

: This series replaced the flak jackets used to attach stuff to prior Micro Changers' torsos in prior waves (which most fans hated since it obscured the chest tampographs) with a new simple one-peg "backpack" piece. And there was much rejoicing. On top of that, at this stage the "vehicle" builds become a little more complex, using more parts to make them look more like tiny vehicles than just robots laying face-down with a thing or two on their backs.<br />

:*''Release date'': [[March]] 2014<br />
: Sooo much fanwank. The last wave of Micro-Changers available at "normal" retail, though largely being distributed via the Walgreens drug store chain in the US. This is the only batch (so far) to have a significant [[variant]], as [[Cyclonus (Kre-O)|Cyclonus]] can come in either bag-back lavender or a much darker purple, depending on the batch. This is also the first wave to use "harness" pieces in colors other than the standard light gray.<br />
<br />
: Unlike prior waves in which every figure came with individual [[instructions]], these Micro-Changers all come with the same large fold-out instruction for all of the models in the series, making the "feel parts through the bags" method very difficult (but you have the code numbers here, so why are you even doing that, huh?). <br />

==Custom Kreons==<br />
First released at the back-end of 2013, these individually-carded Kreons include a huge number of extra body parts and accessories, many [[vacuum metallizing|chromed]] (thus resulting in some ''extremely'' tight fits) or translucent (which, when combined with the chromed parts, may end up with stress fractures). They also come with a customizable "rack" to store said extra parts. "Repeat" characters have all new, more extensive [[tampograph]]s across most of their (opaque) parts.<br />
<br />
This series was intentionally produced in smaller numbers than the other series. So far it appears that once again [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] was the only US retailer to order them, though they were made available off of [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] as well.<br />

==Notes==<br />
* 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>, who have been making not-L sets for a while. However, it is very much a lot of new part design work, especially the far more involved construction of the [[Kreon]]s; Oxford's pre-''Kre-O'' mini-figures were basically straight-up L Minifigure construction.<br />
* Kreon [[Hound (Kre-O)|Hound]] was among the upcoming items revealed at [[BotCon 2011]]... and was only announced to be released in late 2013, and wasn't released until midway through 2014. Amusingly, his helmet has become one of the most ubiquitous among the Kreons thanks to its very generic styling.<br />
* Small images of a ''Kre-O Transformers'' 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.<br />
* 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. Just be a bit careful you don't scrape face-paint off.<br />
* The L company has since released sets that are explicitly marketed as being able to assemble as robots and various vehicles and aircraft, very similar to the ''Transformers'' Kre-O concept.<br />
* Several ''Kre-O'' bricks are reuses of Hasbro's long defunct ''Built to Rule'' interlocking brick system.<br />

<br />
'''Kre-O''' is [[Hasbro]]'s second foray into the world of brick-based construction toy sets, several years after the ignoble effort that was ''[[Built to Rule]]''.<br />
<br />
Unveiled at [[Toy Fair 2011]], ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' was the first Hasbro brand to be released as Kre-O construction brick kits. The kits (generally) 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 (mostly nameless generics). Prices range from $7.99 to $59.99, plus individually-bagged Kreon figures at $2.99.<br />
<br />
The line launched in the US on [[June 6]]th, [[2011]]. Since then, ''Kre-O'' has expanded into a [[multi-property brand]], with sets based on other Hasbro franchises including ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'', ''Battleship'', and ''Dungeons & Dragons'', as well as the licensed properties ''[[Star Trek]]'' and ''Cityville Invasion''.<br />
<br />
In 2013, [[TakaraTomy]] brought the line to Japan, primarily the second-year ''Transformers'' sets.<br />

==Building sets==<br />
===2011===<br />
The first series saw widespread brick-and-mortar distribution in the US. The main focus of the sets were large robot/vehicle builds with a ''lot'' of parts. Really a lot. Limbs were many times thick masses of panel-parts laid over each other, and many sets had extremely limited posability, with simple swivel elbows & knees. Robot builds took many elements from the then-current ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)| Dark of the Moon]]'' series, though the heads were mostly designed around the characters' [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] incarnations.<br />
<br />
The robot Kreons? ''VERY'' G1-inspired.<br />

<br />
===2012 (''Quest for Energon'')===<br />
The second-year ''Kre-O Transformers'' sets mark a definite change in style. Dubbed "Quest for Energon", each set contains several "energon" pieces; at least one [[Skeletron|clear-plastic Kreon torso]] (blue for Autobots, purple for Decepticons), and several clear-purple "[[Dark Energon]]" parts to assemble a giant "[[ultimate Dark Energon weapon]]". The robot/vehicle builds in this year's sets are generally smaller, simpler, and less reliant on the "massive stack of flat plates" construction style common in the first year, relying a lot more on large ball-and-socket-jointed bricks to build limbs and bodies around.<br />
<br />
There was a heavier focus on the Kreons overall, with mini-playsets, mini-vehicles and a pair of [[army-building|army builder]] sets. The robot Kreons are more often based on their [[Aligned continuity family]] incarnations than Generation 1. Human Kreons had new arm-pieces with rounded-off shoulders, rather than the blocky shoulders of all first-year Kreons. <br />
<br />
This series also suffered a distribution issue in the US. [[Walmart]] stopped carrying ''Kre-O'' after its first year (with one tiny exception), and only [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] appeared to carry the entire second-year assortment; the "Rotor Rage" and "Destruction Site Devastator" sets in particular didn't seem to show up at certain retailers.<br />
<br />
Most of these sets were also made available in Japan as part of the initial ''Kre-O'' roll-out by [[TakaraTomy]].<br />
<br />

: Includes large Wheeljack and Knock Out robot/car builds.<br />
<br />
===2013 (''Beast Hunters'')===<br />
Bringing the series in-line with the then-current ''[[Beast Hunters]]'' branding of ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]]'', this series was even ''more'' limited in its US distribution, seemingly available only at ToysЯUs and Meijer.<br />
<br />
This time around, the human Kreons were based on specific ''Transformers'' human characters from prior series rather than the prior two years' nameless generics... much to the bafflement of the [[fandom]], who wanted them to be doing that from the get-go.<br />
<br />
;Larger Sets<br />

<br />
===2014 (''Age of Extinction'')===<br />
Tying in with that [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|big new movie in 2014]], The ''Kre-O'' sets this year are ''heavily'' based around building robo-dinos. Many sets also feature "Dino Force Technology", which are pieces that include magnets in them so claws and dino-maws can snatch up Kreons wearing ferrous-metal backpacks or helmets.<br />
<br />
By this point, ''Kre-O'' in its entirety became a [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] [[exclusive]] toyline.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Micro-Changers==<br />
Introduced in 2012, the [[Micro-Changer]]s sub-line adds a new element to Kreon figures; extra parts allow each figure to "transform" into a vehicle or beast (or whatever).<br />
<br />
Thankfully, the Micro-Changer series did not suffer the limited-distribution fate of the ''Beast Hunters'' sets; after a rocky start, by 2013 the series was stocked regularly not just by ToysЯUs, but [[Target]] as well, plus many large drug store chains began carrying the individually-bagged figures.<br />
<br />
===Blind-bagged figures===<br />
This portion of the line features individual [[blindpacking|blind-packaged]] Kreons. Thankfully however, code numbers printed on each bag allow you to know which figure is inside... or at least avoid buying two of the same by accident.<br />

: For the first full series, the multi-colored tampographs made a glorious comeback. Also, a new display-stand brick was added to every figure, a black 2x4 piece with the "Kre-O" logo in white on one edge.<br />
: Also changed is how the bag numbers work, with a 7-digit code. Only the final two numbers in the codes are indicators of what Kreon is in the bag, the first five are likely manufacturing plant codes or something and have no bearing on the contents, and can vary from case to case. For simplicity's sake, we've *****'d out the first five digits from here on out.<br />

And there was much rejoicing. On top of that, at this stage the "vehicle" builds become a little more complex, using more parts to make them look more like tiny vehicles than just robots laying face-down with a thing or two on their backs.<br />

:*''Assortment No.'': '''A2200'''<br />
:*''Release date'': [[March]] 2014<br />
: Sooo much fanwank. The last wave of Micro-Changers available at "normal" retail, though largely being distributed via the Walgreens drug store chain in the US. This is the only batch (so far) to have a significant [[variant]], as [[Cyclonus (Kre-O)|Cyclonus]] can come in either bag-back lavender or a much darker purple, depending on the batch. This is also the first wave to use "harness" pieces in colors other than the standard light gray.<br />
<br />
: Unlike prior waves in which every figure came with individual [[instructions]], these Micro-Changers all come with the same large fold-out instruction for all of the models in the series, making the "feel parts through the bags" method very difficult (but you have the code numbers here, so why are you even doing that, huh?). <br />

==Custom Kreons==<br />
First released at the back-end of 2013, these individually-carded Kreons include a huge number of extra body parts and accessories, many [[vacuum metallizing|chromed]] (thus resulting in some ''extremely'' tight fits) or translucent (which, when combined with the chromed parts, may end up with stress fractures). They also come with a customizable "rack" to store said extra parts. "Repeat" characters have all new, more extensive [[tampograph]]s across most of their (opaque) parts.<br />
<br />
This series was intentionally produced in smaller numbers than the other series. So far it appears that once again [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] was the only US retailer to order them, though they were made available off of [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] as well.<br />

==Notes==<br />
* 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>, who have been making not-L sets for a while. However, it is very much a lot of new part design work, especially the far more involved construction of the [[Kreon]]s; Oxford's pre-''Kre-O'' mini-figures were basically straight-up L Minifigure construction.<br />
* Kreon [[Hound (Kre-O)|Hound]] was among the upcoming items revealed at [[BotCon 2011]]... and was only announced to be released in late 2013, and wasn't released until midway through 2014. Amusingly, his helmet has become one of the most ubiquitous among the Kreons thanks to its very generic styling.<br />
* Small images of a ''Kre-O Transformers'' 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.<br />
* 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. Just be a bit careful you don't scrape face-paint off.<br />
* The L company has since released sets that are explicitly marketed as being able to assemble as robots and various vehicles and aircraft, very similar to the ''Transformers'' Kre-O concept.<br />
* Several ''Kre-O'' bricks are reuses of Hasbro's long defunct ''Built to Rule'' interlocking brick system.<br />

[[Image:Kre-O-Bumblebeeandothers.jpg|thumb|350px|right|Car me now!]]<br />
<br />
'''Kre-O''' is [[Hasbro]]'s second foray into the world of brick-based construction toy sets, several years after the ignoble effort that was ''[[Built to Rule]]''.<br />
<br />
Unveiled at [[Toy Fair 2011]], ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' was the first Hasbro brand to be released as Kre-O construction brick kits. The kits (generally) 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 (mostly nameless generics). Prices range from $7.99 to $59.99, plus individually-bagged Kreon figures at $2.99.<br />
<br />
The line launched in the US on [[June 6]]th, [[2011]]. Since then, ''Kre-O'' has expanded into a [[multi-property brand]], with sets based on other Hasbro franchises including ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'', ''Battleship'', and ''Dungeons & Dragons'', as well as the licensed properties ''[[Star Trek]]'' and ''Cityville Invasion''.<br />
<br />
In 2013, [[TakaraTomy]] brought the line to Japan, primarily the second-year ''Transformers'' sets.<br />
<br />
It's 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.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Building sets==<br />
===2011===<br />
The first series saw widespread brick-and-mortar distribution in the US. The main focus of the sets were large robot/vehicle builds with a ''lot'' of parts. Really a lot. Limbs were many times thick masses of panel-parts laid over each other, and many sets had extremely limited posability, with simple swivel elbows & knees. Robot builds took many elements from the then-current ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)| Dark of the Moon]]'' series, though the heads were mostly designed around the characters' [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] incarnations.<br />
<br />
The robot Kreons? ''VERY'' G1-inspired.<br />

===2012 (''Quest for Energon'')===<br />
The second-year ''Kre-O Transformers'' sets mark a definite change in style. Dubbed "Quest for Energon", each set contains several "energon" pieces; at least one [[Skeletron|clear-plastic Kreon torso]] (blue for Autobots, purple for Decepticons), and several clear-purple "[[Dark Energon]]" parts to assemble a giant "[[ultimate Dark Energon weapon]]". The robot/vehicle builds in this year's sets are generally smaller, simpler, and less reliant on the "massive stack of flat plates" construction style common in the first year, relying a lot more on large ball-and-socket-jointed bricks to build limbs and bodies around.<br />
<br />
There was a heavier focus on the Kreons overall, with mini-playsets, mini-vehicles and a pair of [[army-building|army builder]] sets. The robot Kreons are more often based on their [[Aligned continuity family]] incarnations than Generation 1. Human Kreons had new arm-pieces with rounded-off shoulders, rather than the blocky shoulders of all first-year Kreons. <br />
<br />
This series also suffered a distribution issue in the US. [[Walmart]] stopped carrying ''Kre-O'' after its first year (with one tiny exception), and only [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] appeared to carry the entire second-year assortment; the "Rotor Rage" and "Destruction Site Devastator" sets in particular didn't seem to show up at certain retailers.<br />
<br />
Most of these sets were also made available in Japan as part of the initial ''Kre-O'' roll-out by [[TakaraTomy]].<br />

===2013 (''Beast Hunters'')===<br />
Bringing the series in-line with the then-current ''[[Beast Hunters]]'' branding of ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]]'', this series was even ''more'' limited in its US distribution, seemingly available only at ToysЯUs and Meijer.<br />
<br />
This time around, the human Kreons were based on specific ''Transformers'' human characters from prior series rather than the prior two years' nameless generics... much to the bafflement of the [[fandom]], who wanted them to be doing that from the get-go.<br />
<br />

===2014 (''Age of Extinction'')===<br />
Tying in with that [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|big new movie in 2014]], The ''Kre-O'' sets this year are ''heavily'' based around building robo-dinos. Many sets also feature "Dino Force Technology", which are pieces that include magnets in them so claws and dino-maws can snatch up Kreons wearing ferrous-metal backpacks or helmets.<br />
<br />

==Micro-Changers==<br />
Introduced in 2012, the [[Micro-Changer]]s sub-line adds a new element to Kreon figures; extra parts allow each figure to "transform" into a vehicle or beast (or whatever).<br />
<br />
Thankfully, the Micro-Changer series did not suffer the limited-distribution fate of the ''Beast Hunters'' sets; after a rocky start, by 2013 the series was stocked regularly not just by ToysЯUs, but [[Target]] as well, plus many large drug store chains began carrying the individually-bagged figures.<br />
<br />
===Blind-bagged figures===<br />
This portion of the line features individual [[blindpacking|blind-packaged]] Kreons. Thankfully however, code numbers printed on each bag allow you to know which figure is inside... or at least avoid buying two of the same by accident.<br />

: For the first full series, the multi-colored tampographs made a glorious comeback. Also, a new display-stand brick was added to every figure, a black 2x4 piece with the "Kre-O" logo in white on one edge.<br />
: Also changed is how the bag numbers work, with a 7-digit code. Only the final two numbers in the codes are indicators of what Kreon is in the bag, the first five are likely manufacturing plant codes or something and have no bearing on the contents, and can vary from case to case. For simplicity's sake, we've *****'d out the first five digits from here on out.<br />

: This series replaced the flak jackets used to attach stuff to prior Micro Changers' torsos in prior waves (which most fans hated since it obscured the chest tampographs) with a new simple one-peg "backpack" piece. And there was much rejoicing. On top of that, at this stage the "vehicle" builds become a little more complex, using more parts to make them look more like tiny vehicles than just robots laying face-down with a thing or two on their backs.<br />

: Sooo much fanwank. The last wave of Micro-Changers available at "normal" retail, though largely being distributed via the Walgreens drug store chain in the US. This is the only batch (so far) to have a significant [[variant]], as [[Cyclonus (Kre-O)|Cyclonus]] can come in either bag-back lavender or a much darker purple, depending on the batch. This is also the first wave to use "harness" pieces in colors other than the standard light gray.<br />
<br />
: Unlike prior waves in which every figure came with individual [[instructions]], these Micro-Changers all come with the same large fold-out instruction for all of the models in the series, making the "feel parts through the bags" method very difficult (but you have the code numbers here, so why are you even doing that, huh?). <br />

These sets, each containing five different Kreons, were released early in 2013. The Kreon figures had all been released earlier in larger Kre-o sets, and they only come with their own weapons. One of the five figures was marked on the packaging as the "mystery figure."<br />

==Custom Kreons==<br />
First released at the back-end of 2013, these individually-carded Kreons include a huge number of extra body parts and accessories, many [[vacuum metallizing|chromed]] (thus resulting in some ''extremely'' tight fits) or translucent (which, when combined with the chromed parts, may end up with stress fractures). They also come with a customizable "rack" to store said extra parts. "Repeat" characters have all new, more extensive [[tampograph]]s across most of their (opaque) parts.<br />
<br />
This series was intentionally produced in smaller numbers than the other series. So far it appears that once again [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] was the only US retailer to order them, though they were made available off of [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] as well.<br />

The Kreons in this wave are cast in ever-so-slightly sparkly plastics, giving them that little bit of extra sheen.<br />

==Notes==<br />
* 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>, who have been making not-L sets for a while. However, it is very much a lot of new part design work, especially the far more involved construction of the [[Kreon]]s; Oxford's pre-''Kre-O'' mini-figures were basically straight-up L Minifigure construction.<br />
* Kreon [[Hound (Kre-O)|Hound]] was among the upcoming items revealed at [[BotCon 2011]]... and was only announced to be released in late 2013, and wasn't released until midway through 2014. Amusingly, his helmet has become one of the most ubiquitous among the Kreons thanks to its very generic styling.<br />
* Small images of a ''Kre-O Transformers'' 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.<br />
* 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. Just be a bit careful you don't scrape face-paint off.<br />
* The L company has since released sets that are explicitly marketed as being able to assemble as robots and various vehicles and aircraft, very similar to the ''Transformers'' Kre-O concept.<br />
* Several ''Kre-O'' bricks are reuses of Hasbro's long defunct ''Built to Rule'' interlocking brick system.<br />
