The Kreon Class of 1984 was a San Diego Comic-Con 2014 exclusive Kre-O set, done up in the style of a Cybertronian high school yearbook circa 1984. Opening the case reveals the 30 Kreons inside, arranged like yearbook photos. Each one is also given a "voted on" descriptor in that same vein.

Kreons


Extra Accessories

The set also comes with a block of extra parts, all painfully 80's themed. Most are just common pegless plates with tampographs on them, which means you should be careful clipping them into Kreon hands to avoid scraping the deco off.

Notes

  • Like all of Hasbro's Comic-Con exclusives, leftovers of this set were to be sold online via Hasbro Toy Shop. However, there were no leftovers by the end of the convention, it was that popular. As such, this $50 set commands on average twice that amount online.
  • The Kreons' tampographs are largely toy-based, with many characters sporting their toys' "mask and visor" faces instead of the more humanized cartoon model faces (particularly the Mini Vehicle bots), yellow optics, etc. It's not wholly consistent, though, with some characters' cartoon details coming through. Plus, FIRRIB.
  • You might have noticed that for a "Class of 1984" set, there's a few not-from-1984 characters in it.
    • Arcee and Ultra Magnus are certainly the most egregious examples, not having shown up until 1986.
    • Perceptor, Shockwave and "Skrapnel" are from the 1985 product line, though in all fairness the latter two did show up in the "1984" season of the original cartoon, so we'll give them a mulligan on those two.
    • Oh and obviously the The Transformers: The Movie soundtrack didn't come out until 1986.
One can only assume that some of these got used to fill gaps in the grid due to the limited cast members available in 1984 (what, no Reflector?), and in a "we may never do another set so make them now" mentality (especially for Arcee).
  • Speaking of odd choices, some of the Kreons' accessories and coloring are head-scratch-inducing. Many characters are given "wings" despite their toys not having any, like Bumblebee/Cliffjumper and Ironhide/Ratchet. Bluestreak appears in his infamous "blue Bluestreak" deco. And Skywarp is an explosion of purple parts.
