Our friend Jim McCanney dropped by to let us know he caught a new commercial for the Kre-O Transformers Micro Changers. Check out his YouTube upload, which we've embedded below. The commercial features some new animation of the Micro Changers in battle including the new Combiners.

Weird, the one who says "showoffs!" at the end is Silverbolt who's also part of a combiner, so why would he be jealous

Wow finally Kre-O realized that the little g1 looking guys actualy sell more than the actual sets

I thought that was Jetfire rather than Silverbolt. Nice animation though.

Wow, That commercial makes those guys look too cute. I got the 6 preview and plan on getting the combiner sets. I'm really on the fence with Kreons. I really like them I just hate the tons of potential lost parts.

Anyone got any of the combiner sets yet? How are they? Predaking and Superion don't look to be too bad but Devestator looks like he has alot of pieces. I may just buy them and leave them in the box but I really like to display my toys. IDK, I'm torn. Anyone care to share a quick opinion or two with me on them?

Thanks

I have them all. They all have about the same amount of pieces.

Bruticus and Superion are top-notch, but Predaking, and Devastator are good too.

They are really fun, if you love Transformers and brick-build toy figures. The actual brick build large TFs are lacking in final execution, but the Kreons are excellent.

My main beefs are the stupid chest jackets that cover up painted chest details to give you a connection port on the back, the loose waste to legs/crotch connection, and the stress marks that happen at the wrists.

Otherwise fun, though.

Now if only stores would actually stock these little guys...

I wonder who that blue guy is. Beachcomber? Kinda early for him, though.

He's not jealous, he knows his group can do it too, but didn't think they needed to. Decepticons are always pushing the envelope.

When I saw it I didn't think it was inappropriate just kind of like leading to a 'part 2' piece maybe, or an alternative version where when Defensor is released the Autobots combine, or some such idea.

Still funny and cute. I do see your point, but I thought him saying it showed the potential for a 'see what we can do now because you did it' situation.
