Battlechangers
The Battlechangers consists of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Shockwave, Starscream, Grimlock and Hound as well as two triple-changers, Drift and Blitzwing. The interesting thing about these is that they are designed to transform between modes as opposed to rebuilt.

Re: Kre-O Transformers Toy Fair Report
Love KRE-O - those Transformers look good. But I'm DYING for more G.I. Joe waves!! So many awesome characters and unique vehicles in the pantheon, and Hasbro has barely scratched the surface of it so far. They could easily get 4 more full waves out of the GI Joe universe. Joe HQ, the USS Flagg aircraft carrier, Destro's Iron Grenadier army, Cobra island, silent castle, etc etc etc.

Re: Kre-O Transformers Toy Fair Report
Thanks for posting these. I can't wait for the Battlechangers. Look at that Plate 1x2 w/Double Bars (open ends) on Shockwave!
Re: Kre-O Transformers Toy Fair Report
I'm with you on this! There hasn't been any news in a while though so it looks like the line might be dead. I'm really hoping I get proved wrong!coo1breeze wrote:Love KRE-O - those Transformers look good. But I'm DYING for more G.I. Joe waves!!

Re: Kre-O Transformers Toy Fair Report
Sorry to say I didn't see any G.I. Joe Kre-O on display... Come to think that f it, I didn't see ANY G.I. Joe on display.
Re: Kre-O Transformers Toy Fair Report
I will be truly bummed if the GI Joe Kreo line goes away… I love those things!

Re: Kre-O Transformers Toy Fair Report
Let's hope Hasbro announces there'll be more KREO at the JoeCon in April. http://www.gijoecon.com/il2015/
Re: Kre-O Transformers Toy Fair Report
I presume there were no dungeons and dragons either?
Re: Kre-O Transformers Toy Fair Report
No, I didn't see any D&D either, sorry!
I was given two Kreon Warriors from collection 2 during my visit to the Hasbro exhibition. They are blind-packed like LEGO Collectible Minifigures.
Kreon Warriors packaging by vynsane, on Flickr
One interesting aspect is that they're packaged in a clear plastic bag inside the main bag, which will make feeling for signature pieces harder.

Each includes a simple instruction sheet as well as the pieces. Each one includes a 4x3 baseplate with two rows of studs as well as the Kre-O logo:
Kreon Warriors Hound instructions and pieces by vynsane, on Flickr
Kreon Warriors Megatron instructions and pieces by vynsane, on Flickr
The two figures I ended up with were Hound and Megatron, each in a "wild west" theme which is quirky in a fun way.

Kreon Warriors Megatron without mask by vynsane, on Flickr
They're basically exactly the same height as a LEGO Minifigure. Plus, all three of them have basically the same facial expression. By design the Kreon figure has more articulation, with ball-jointed shoulders and hips as well as a single swivel-point where the hips connect to the torso.
