Micro-Changers are a subgroup from the brick-based world of Kre-O.

It was only a matter of time before Kreons became so advanced that they were able to transform like their larger counterparts. Transforming Kreons are known as Micro-Changers. Some of them have even gained the ability to join together into Combiners.

Fiction

Kre-O cartoon

A story in the Autobot City News reported that scientists were baffled by the appearance of Micro-Changers. A number of them assisted Megatron in stealing energon Quest for Energon, Part 1 so he could make a grilled cheese sandwich. Quest for Energon, Part 2

Toys

Blind-bagged figures

This portion of the line features individual 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.

Preview Series

  • Release date: ??? 2012
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 tampographs 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.

Series 1

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.

Series 2

  • Release date: ??? 2013
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.

Series 3

This series had...more fanwank, we guess?

Series 4

  • Release date: March 2014
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.
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?).

Series 5

  • Release date: ??? 2014
Seemingly in-tune with the Age of Extinction Kre-O products, this wave mixes classic characters with multiple new-character beast-bots.

Combiners

Four Kreons per pack combine into one larger robot. Extra detailing is provided by customer-applied stickers. Each set also comes with a single red stand-block.

Wave 1
Unfortunately, these sets all make use of the flak jacket for attaching backpacks. Boo.
Wave 2
Thankfully, this wave was developed with the new tiny "backpack" piece, so chest tampos are readily visible!
Wave 3
Wave 4
This wave consists entirely of new-character beast-bots, rather than re-creating classic combiner teams.

Beast Force Figure packs

These small boxed sets include a buildable non-transforming Predacon beast and an Autobot Micro-Changer figure.
