There's no way this one is better than the Voyager lol. Just a look at both modes shows you that

.And I wish they could have made this one come with a trailer :-(

...But yeah I'm satisfied with the Voyager,just hoping that there will be a Leader of this guy.

BTW, if it doesnt transform, it's not a transformer.
just thought Id'e point that out.

and this is where i call bs on hasbro! :BOOM:

first they say the last movie line was too difficult for kids to transform and sooo they dumb down this line or so they say and now they release a 300+ piece set to build your own transformer that only transforms when you take apart all 300+ pieces and reassemble them into hideous looking vehicles.
sooo what happens hasbro when a youngster loses a piece on these will it render a 20,30,40+ dollar figure useless? :BOOM:

sorry guys had to get that off my chest

what gets me the most is this

japan= movie accurate prime and bb model kit with great posability :sad:

we get= legos that guess what? combine :roll:

$100 obo?

No. The company that makes these for Hasbro is good, but not that good. In fact, some of my Super Blox* sets are already having trouble staying together during the construction phase.

*=same Chinese manufacturer makes Super Blox, Kre-O and the $3.00 Dollar General sets.

How do you know these transform by taking pieces on and off? Do you own any of these? Look, we've still got the main Dark Of The Moon toyline, and that's pretty impressive.

dont know how to post the link but the description was provided right here on seibertron. there was an article about the kreo preorders on the tru website and from the description we can tell that you can build EITHER a bot or vehicle but not both besides wouldnt you think that the ability to transform would have been a selling point?

again im not complaining about the movie line as a whole ive got a few myself im simply echoing the complaints of others who arent to pleased with the dumbing down of some figures.

Not too bad for a "lego" version, but Hasbro needs to put money into making a leader Megatron before this.

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...

I was expecting more from this. You'll probably have to take it all apart like the BTR sets and put them back together.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Successful troll is successful.

In the spirit of "nothing good to say, don't say anything at all" I really like the mini-figures of the Transformers.

Like everyone else, I would've been interested if these guys transformed without being like G1, where you had to take them apart to transform, but this is worse. And like you said Onixprime, I would actually buy the little itty-bitty guys if they were in 4- or 5-pack baggies.

Well, what Hasbro didn't tell YOU is the fact that they made sure distribution would make it near impossible for you to get it.

Everyone else won't have a problem though.

I pretty much only want them for the Kreons. Everything else will probably get thrown out or given away. Though it irks me to get rid of $40+ lego sets just so I can have a couple of lego guys. Except the Prime figure of course, since I keep all the boxes and cards for my Skywarps.

And here I thought I was crazy. I would not be able to justify buying the sets just for the little guys and then get rid of the main building set.

That's why you're not getting Skywarp. You must embrace the reat of the set with equal love first.

Re: Kre-O DOTM Megatron Revealed? (1232574)
Posted by Tekka on June 2nd, 2011 @ 6:45pm CDT

It's a little crazy to me as well, despite the ungodly amounts of money that I spend on crap. It will likely be an instance when I wait for things to go on clearance or wait for loose Kreons to appear on eBay.
