The Kre-O Transformers comic is a webcomic first released on TakaraTomy's Kre-O site in August 2013.
The comics follow the adventures of the Kreons as they journey to Earth and continue their tiny war on that planet. The whole thing is a silly, tongue-firmly-in-cheek affair focused on gags (with occasional continuity between chapters). It arguably managed to be the longest-running piece of Kre-O fiction, but admittedly competition was not fierce.
Hayato Sakamoto wrote and drew the first 11 chapters (plus an extra chapter found only in a catalog) before leaving and letting Makoto Wakabayashi take over. Makoto wrote a further 8 chapters before the comic apparently ended during May of 2014.

Notes
[edit]- Despite the first year of Kre-O sets not being sold in Japan (at least, not through TakaraTomy), a lot of the Kreons from that year make cameos.
- Similarly, multiple characters – including Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Bumblebee – swap between their Generation 1 and Prime-styled Kreons, with the latter being used mainly (but not always) when the story features a larger brick-bot from the actual sold-in-Japan sets.
- Throughout artist/writer Hayato Sakamoto's run on the series, many, many Kreons, all of them inspired by past Transformers characters from a broad mix of franchises, pop up who do not exist as toys. While the human Kreons would all require new hair/hat designs, nearly all of the Transformers stick with parts that actually exist, though many times extensively "painted" to further get the visual similarity across.
- This trend shifted when Makoto Wakabayashi took over, as his comics feature some Transformer Kreons with made-up parts.
- Both creators' roster of cameos show their penchant not just for the obscure, but for stuff outside of TakaraTomy's sphere of influence, including cameos from characters based on their IDW designs and Fun Publications toy releases.
