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.

I DONT LIKE!!!
I mean, do these guys even transform?
Or are they a BTR Reboot?
:MAXIMAL:

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:

Posted: **Wed May 25, 2011 4:47 pm**

$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.

Ah, so they disassemble. Still quite a growth since the last time we had a Brick/Transformers x-over.

Why?

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...

Posted: **Thu May 26, 2011 6:21 am**

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!!!!!!!!!

Posted: **Sun May 29, 2011 4:00 pm**

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.
