Crankstart (Kre-O)

This article is about the Kreon. For the Decepticon from the 2010 Transformers toyline, see Crankstart (TF 2010).

Crankstart is a Decepticon from the Kre-O continuity family.

"Oh gun, if only I could be as transparent as you."

Crankstart knows that just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not all out to get you. Mocked by his fellow Kreons and surrounded by enemies, Crankstart has made a hobby of staying hidden and has no intention of ever being found.

"They won't find me in this sealed opaque bag!"

• Crankstart (Micro-Changer, 2012)
  • Kit number: A1010
  • Bag number: 21451 0

Part of a six-figure "preview" wave of Micro-Changer Kreons, Crankstart is a blindpacked bagged mini-figure. He comes with extra parts which help him form a dunebuggy (sorta).

He uses the Hound helmet, Battleship series torso armor, Optimus Prime smokestacks and wheels, and the Bumblebee pistol.

Notes

• Crankstart's CG model shows him without his torso armor and "windshield" pieces.
• Crankstart's helmet was originally designed for a Kreon based on Hound, which had been shown off at several events, but to this date, no actual Hound Kreon has been released or even officially announced.
