I posted this in the UK sightings thread, but hadn't seen I listed anywhere else on the site.

This weeks issue of kids comic "The Doctor Who Adventures", comes with a free Kre-O figure. Best of all it's the Matrix-chested Optimus Prime variant given out at Botcon, that hasn't previously been released in the UK.

The figure comes in it's own Hasbro UK/Europe branded baggy and the comic will only set you back £2.99.

Happy hunting.....

Just gone and bought it myself, pity its £3.00, but not so bad a price for the prime kreon, especially as its the repaint one from botcon - got em all now

Cheaper than the eBay route! I should have mentioned that it's issue #240 for anybody hunting.

Typical bloody Hasbro UK, they put a convention exclusive out over here, don't publicise it and don't even put it out with the official UK publication. I really shouldn't be surprised any more

Snagged one, cheers for the heads up.

You're more than welcome mate, I wasn't sure whether to start a new topic or just keep it in the sightings thread, but since this has flown completely under everyone's radar, I thought I would

Seibertron.com member Pretender Skywarp has let us know there is new way to get the "Open Chest" or "Matrix" version of Kreon Optimus Prime. The mini-figure is now coming as a freebie in the UK's kids comic "The Doctor Who Adventures". He doesn't come in the Kre-O brick style packaging, but a plain Hasbro UK/Europe branded baggy. This makes at least the sixth way to acquire this little guy. He made his first appearance at BotCon 2011 as a free gift for attendees who signed up for a Kre-O drawing, then he started showing up in the initial run of the large Optimus Prime Kre-O sets in error, next Hasbro gave the figure away as a prize for their on-line Build-A-Bot game, HasbroToyShop then started giving the figure in all orders that contained Transformers, finally Hasbro included the figure in their 20 for 20 promotion.

This is a great opportunity for UK fans to pick up the little figure for only £2.99, the price of the comic.

dont forget that he also comes in the 20 for 20 DOTM gift pack as well. hasbro must really have a lot of these guys floating around, must be their version of tribbles.

I'd imagine, as that's the first place it showed up. They also gave it out at NYCC and the American Tour thingy
