It looks like Hasbro has big plans for the Transformers Kre-O line in 2012. We got a great look the upcoming Kre-O Devastator set, which is comprised of four individual construction vehicles/robots that can be reassembled in the mighty Devastator! The figures come in movie universe colors, but the bots and combined form feature more G1 styled heads. The set also comes with a construction environment and several Kreons including a tiny Devastator. Also on display were a Wheeljack vs. Knockout set, Optimus Prime vs. Megatron set, and Vortex.

Ick! They look terrible :/

I take it back, the Megatron one looks pretty awesome. And Knockout looks pretty cool... only as a head mold, the rest... not so much.

Just sell the Kreon's Hasbro! You'd make so much monies~!

Thoughts on each set :-

1) Wheeljack vs Knockout : Lame. The design are far worse than basic bumblebee for christ sake...

2) Vortex : Too much colour for my taste. He look as if he consumed other Kre-Os in order to form his body @_@...

3) Optimus vs Megs : Megs looks okay but Optimus!? Seriously I thought they said "G1" not "Movieverse" !!! Argh I'm frickin pissed...I was really looking forward owning both G1 Optimus and G1 Megs...Instead they give us this BS Prime...

4) Devastator : Awesome ! The fact that Dev can stand straight already make me sold . I just wanna know one thing...how much does he cost...If he doesnt cost as much as Optimus(The huge one) then I'm sold.

EDITED : Kay I found out that Dev have 560 pieces...Looks like he might be more expensive than Prime...I'm so screwed >.>...

yeah, Kreons are the only redeeming thing about these for me. I do sort of like, in a perverse way, how Wheeljack looks like a Seacon.

Devastator now = Must buy.

Optimus and Megs, not so much. I too was hoping for a G1-eque rendition but sadly we're skunked again. This could be due to the fact that those cab styles are rarely seen on the road and doesn't resonate with today's 'Former fan but damnit, Optimus Prime is timeless!

I hear ya man...Btw I think this Prime is a combi of Prime and movieverse. The chest,the wheel placement and the smokestack seems like from TF Prime while the feet and kneepad looks like the movieverse. But still a dissapointment...Oh well more money to save up to buy Bruticus and Dev.

The problem with last year´s Kre-o was that, no matter the size, every character had the same size head, and they felt kinda "resiny" like, I hope they fixed those problems, especially the size part.

KRE-O stuff is always horrid. Seriously I CANNOT understand why you guys go for this. Regardless, KRE-O Devastator still looks better than FoC Bruticus.

People have their own taste. To you it might look horrid but to others such as me we see potential and beauty in these Kre-Os. I mean I also dont get why people like Kreons, why do people like robot heroes and why do people buy toys that are clearly too expensive such as the Hercules set. Truth be told we can never understand the logic behind the things we hate but others love.

In my case I like Kre-O because I can feel like I'm creating a TF instead of just having an already perfected TF that you can just transform. Sure you can say that I should just go buy DMK Optimus but too bad for me he's way too expensive for my current budget. Again just explaining not hating.

Anyone else notice the G1 1985 sticker on devys right arm ?
