I wish these could actually transform.

KRE-O Knock-out has yellow rims! typical.

Also, yes, I'm sort of surprised these did well enough to warrant this new assortment. I like the wee Kreons, but the building block kits aren't very impressive.

I personally choose to believe that the Vehicon's good white Autobot counterparts are Autoloopers. But who the hell is that Decepticon with them? I'm gonna kick myself when I figure it out.

EDIT: Apparently it's Barricade. Um...what?

That Optimus Prime vs. Megatron set looks rather interesting. Might break down and buy it, just for the fact I can add it to my Optimus Prime vs. Megatron shelf (which displays all my, surprise, Optimus Primes and Megatrons).

Devastator, although interesting, is a pass, considering how much it costs. I'm not paying $100 for Legos that vaguely resemble one of my favorite combiners.

I'm still surprised that Knock Out made a Kre-O appearance, since the line has thus far seen robot/vehicle modes inspired mostly by either G1, the Movie line, or Animated.

Enough with Bumblebee already! You're murdering the fandom with the numbers of Bumblebees you're pumping out!

As I thought when he was first revealed, I hope that since there's going to be a Vortex, that there might be more Combaticon-inspired sets. That COMBINE!

The rest.... eh, I'm more looking forward to the Generations Rebirth (my name for the reborn line to differentiate between the two) line than the rest of them.

Miner, Car, and Jet Vehicons!
G1 Megatron and Soundwave in alt modes? (Devy and BB sets, respectively)
Constructicons you actually construct!
Not digging Vortex's colors, but otherwise he looks amazing.

Given the bike and sidecar a mini Axer would have made more sense.

I think Megs' more deserving of that shotgun, don't you?

Eh, more like a fusion cannon. That has a sword on it.

Silly Megatron, being a gun to a an axe fight.

better than expected...but still only want the robot Kreons from ebay

some of these sets look interesting
the Vehicons are a thumbs up and the Autoroopers as well; if thats what they are
weapons look good as well as the new color combos for things
we'll see what the price points are before i put down the loot though

I know they showed off Swindle at Botcon, I'm definitely looking forward to that. I do likes me some Swindle!

Who's in the Cycle Chase Set? Autotroopers VS Barricade?

As for the Helecoptor... Who's he supposed to be? Spinster?
Seriously, I'll be more exited over individual Kreons... Like how lego does bind-packed minifigures... I'll buy all.

Oh, seems like the Bumblebee repaint was evident even in lego-formers.

Vortex.

Vortex actually looks good to me...Might pick him up assuming he isn't over-priced.

Man... I really don't know about these new sets. I love the new Kreons, and will buy most of these sets to get them, but the building sets themselves are pretty weak. The best set from the first series was the movie Bumblebee. The car was sweet. Starscream and Sideswipe weren't bad either. I really wish they had followed up with some more well made G1 cars. A thundercracker or Skywarp would have been a no brainer as well. And where is Hound? Didn't they show his Kreon last year at one of the shows? I'm just affraid with a series this weak, we won't get another one. There was a lot of potential for this line, and I think they might have messed it up with some strange choices. Vortex? really? Uggh those colors are so terrible they must be from G2. Brawl or Swindle would have been a much better choice.

Swindle was shown off at Botcon, and he looks glorious!
