'''Acid Wing''' thinks he looks pretty good. I mean, who doesn't love day-glo green? Bots trying to shoot him down sure love it, since it makes him such an easy target. Yeah, he could go for something less conspicuous, but... ''style'', man!

: As part of the second wave of [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] [[Micro-Changer]]s, Acid Wing is a Kreon mini-figure with parts to rebuild him into a bright green jet. He shares the same parts and construction as the preview wave's [[Sunstorm (Kre-O)|Sunstorm]], though his instructions do not have you use the extra jet-mode bricks to assemble a funky two-handed double blaster for his robot mode like you do with Sunstorm. You can anyway, though. We're not here to tell you how to play with your imagination-expanding building-brick-based figures.
 
: This Collection was still in circulation at "dollar" stores and drug stores up through 2015. They eventually lost the individual-identifying bag codes, but other changes were hidden inside the bag. The 2015 releases replaced the 2x4 logo stand-brick with a new 3x4 logo plate. The Kreon was also given the slight [[retool]]ing to the arm seen in the 2014 Kreons, making the "cuff" parts more sharp-cornered and better adapted to being used as studs. Some of the add-on pieces may also be slightly off-color, possibly due to a change in factories in mid-production.

* '''Acid Wing''' (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2016)
**''Collection'': '''2'''
**''Accessories'': Logo plate, 2 clip-on rifles
 
:In 2016, Collection 2 was re-released in a whole new production run for Dollar General stores in the US as part of a large collection of re-released ''Kre-O'' sets. But where most of these releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) Acid Wing's torso [[tampograph]] underwent a slight color change, replacing the dark gray with solid black, though the leg tampos remain dark gray.
 
:Sadly, this release has no individual-identification code on the bag, requiring you to use the feel-through-the-bag method or just buy blind and hope.
 
 
==Notes==
* Despite the name difference (possibly a case of lost [[trademark]]), he is based on [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Acid Storm]].
* Acid Wing's instruction sheet parses his name as a single word, "Acidwing". We're going with what's on the bag-back, the two-word version.
* The ''[[Transformers: Kre-O Character Encyclopedia| Kre-O Character Encyclopedia]]'' bizarrely categorizes him as a [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacon]]. No, we don't know either.
