The 310 piece set appears to based off of Megatron's DOTM design and comes with four Kreon mini-figures: Megatron, Shockwave, a Specialist and a Policeman. According to the seller the set is scheduled to release in August. Images have been mirrored below.

I thought it was the g1 version

Urmm it's definitely NOT the G1 version.Why? It's the same Mack truck from DOTM. And G1 Megatron is a Pistol/Gun o.O...That should be a CLEAR difference x_x...

No when i saw this thread I thought it was the g1 version. I did not realize that it was the dotm megs

Thanks to a couple eBay auctions we have images of of Kre-O Starsceam's packaging and better quality images of the previously seen Megatron packaging.

Some of you were able to make it out from the original small images, but Megatron's cross sell reveals a Sentinel Prime set.

Starscream will be a 316 piece set and contain two Kreons: Starscream and a human pilot.

just thought Id'e point that out.

i was really dissapointed when i found out you had to take them apart PIECE BY PIECE to transform them.
(just a little sad, just a little)

but like you said they aren't transformers so i won't buy them and based on the forums niether will the lot of siebertron. WHY HASBRO!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!

I think they are selling the little miniature dudes in like sealed bag type deals. Might get them as they are awesome in an adorable kind of way. The fact that the big guys don't actually transform, but you can just build them in one mode or the other is a let down. Consider my interest gone.

Are these things as good as Legos?

i know these might be useful to fancypants on youtube.

he (and possibly patrikboivin) would be the only person who could make these sets look good

I actually really love what I'm seeing here. I might just collect them purely for the little lego guys, "Kreons" or whatever. The Shockwave Kreon in particular really grabs my interest.

Wait wait wait…

So, you're telling me I can take apart my Legos and build something else???

Get out!

Wow, what a bunch of bitchy little girls!

Here's a bit of insight for you guys. The little kids that wind up with these sets aren't likely to leave them as they are ANYWAYS, they're going to utilize the specialty pieces, add them to the rest of their sets and build some freakishly huge multi-limbed creation that, to their way of thinking, is the coolest creation ever.
The adult collectors are likely to assemble this into whichever mode the prefer the most and then use it as a display piece. They aren't likely to take them down every other day and play with them so they aren't going to give a rats-a**!
Now, those of you who are complaining...let's face it, these never would have been your first choice to begin with, you blokes are more likely to go for the standard figures and are just being overly critical of these for the simple fact that you can be.

I've tried making detailed, transformable figures out of Legos in the past and unless you are willing to dump a whole load of cash on a wide assortment of sets you aren't going to have a finished product that actually transforms AND looks good. This company is giving us everything we need to have an accurate looking TF as possible with all the right pieces and even if it doesn't transform, so long as it looks good in BOTH modes, I'm willing to put some actual time and effort into it. I'm sorry to hear that the majority of you aren't but I should have expected as much from young people today.
