Fiction

Kre-O comic

Shrapnel was part of a massive Decepticon invasion force intended to ruin the Autobots' picnic. However, Optimus Prime plowed through them with his truck and left them scattered... and then left. Returning to the scene after.. ahem, taking care of some pressing business, Optimus gathered up the still-wiped-out Kreons, bound them up on a flatbed trailer, and took them to the picnic. Emergency! Hurry to the Base, Optimus!

Toys

Kre-O

• Kreon Class of 1984 (Kreon figure set, 2014)
  • Accessories: 2 small pistols

Kreon Shrapnel, voted "Most Repetive, Repetitive" by the Kreon Class of 1984, uses the Ironhide style helmet and was only available in a pack of 30 Kreons dubbed "Class of 1984"... despite the fact that the Insecticions were 1985 product. This set was made for sale at San Diego Comic-Con 2014. Remaining stock was sold at Hasbro Toy Shop online. The other two Insecticons were held back for the following year's "Class of 1985" box set.

Notes

• Like all (at the time) non-toy robot Kreons in these comics, Shrapnel is made from existing Kre-O parts. He uses the Mirage helmet, and has a pincer-backpack of undefined connectivity... but it's doable. A 1x1 harness, a 1x1 "headlamp", a 1x1 double-clip plate, two 1x2 plates with bars, two 1x1 single-clips, and two claw-pieces. It's a bit awkward and back-heavy, but it does work and align with the comic design.
