Talk:Kre-O
Oxford Bricks
Kre-O bricks are made by Oxford Bricks, notable for Chinese brick sets appearing all over eBay. $8 Bumblebee's wheel hubs even have "OXFORD" printed on them.
Human Kreons
Do the humans get pages of their own? Too bad they don't have names. - Starfield 22:37, 20 June 2011 (EDT)
- At this point I would say 'no', since they're just generic accessories. Only one of the humans seems to be solidly based on anyone (Sam Witwicky, from Adv. Bumblebee), so there aren't names or indentifications given anywhere else. - Vanguard 12:16, 24 June 2011 (EDT)
Which Universe for Kre-O?
I just spotted the Optimus and Sideswipe sets at TRU. Did we ever figure out where to put these guys? --Khajidha 19:45, 10 June 2011 (EDT)
- I'm gonna put them on the table where I keep my LEGo... What? Oh, here? Very good question what with being strange Movie G1 Hybrids? Aligned or there own new thing I guess?--76.28.76.206 19:50, 10 June 2011 (EDT)
- Since most of them have Classics/Universe heads and they come with little Sunbow-style guys, I'm in favor of G1ing them. --ItsWalky 20:27, 10 June 2011 (EDT)
- I just can't imagine calling the big Sentinel Prime a G1 toy. I don't have a real counterproposal except maybe making pages for Kre-O-Verse versions of the characters. Hasbro doubtless considers them to be from the new Aligned Continuity That Everything Is From. Again, this is not a problem that's going to go away. -LV 20:40, 10 June 2011 (EDT)
- They are apparently "brick-made beings" called "Kreons" fictionally. At least according to Wal Mart's website. So... - Starfield 22:51, 20 June 2011 (EDT)
- I think we should aim for consistency. Meaning, that we shouldn't say that "Optimus is from the Movieverse, Prowl is G1, and Bumblebee is Aligned". With that in mind, it seems most logical to either put them all in Aligned or give them their own designation. Thoughts? --Khajidha 10:58, 24 June 2011 (EDT)

- Seems simple to me. They're all 'Kre-O' characters, first and foremost. In each description, just mention what universe the design is based on. So, for the 'Mustang' Bumblebee, it's Advanced Kre-O Bumblebee, based on his appearance in the movie. For Kre-O Jazz, he's based on his G1 appearance, though his gray/silver is based on the movie coloration. Etc. Don't make it more complicated than it needs to be. - Vanguard 11:57, 24 June 2011 (EDT)
- I'm inclined to say a Kre-O continuity is the most parsimonious solution. I don' want to have some of them called G1 and some called Movie or whatever, and the fact that the Kreons at least have their own little bios gives it more weight. -70.62.10.14 12:27, 24 June 2011 (EDT)

They have their own articles here on tfwiki.net, so, too late. --66.82.9.92 15:22, 17 July 2011 (EDT)
- Those articles came about AFTER this conversation started. I mean, you did notice that you were responding to a month old thread?--Khajidha 15:25, 17 July 2011 (EDT)
Are we going to List every serries that Kre-o sets makes?
Cause so far hasbro has 3 serries of kre-O (Transformes{Quest for Energon},Battleship, Star Track and now the upcoming Gi Joe)
Missing trans-white pieces
Optimus Prime and Megatron have missing trans-white pieces. Anyone have this same problem? 69.19.14.18 20:09, 30 December 2011 (EST)
Devastator
I updated Devastator's number of pieces per images at Toy Fair like this one: http://cdn.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/7/3/2/3/1/toyfair2012hasbrotransformerskreo-003_1328997949.jpg Hasbro also released promo pics, so I am working on Devastator's page. Ginrai 17:14, 16 February 2012 (EST)
Funny Episodes
The Kre-O episodes make my day
Costco exclusives
I saw at Costco that there were two packs that aren't sold anywhere else. They were Megatron with Sideswipe and Starscream with Prowl.
