Wow. Both named after the two least-popular cartoon human allies.

Next human Kreon figure: Miko.

I've never seen Energon. So I am blissfully ignorant of Kicker.

Will Donny Finkleberg be a mail-in?

Only positive I can say about Kicker: He was far from incompetent, being to hold his own in battle against the Decepticons.

It's cool that they're finally adding some actual human characters to Kre-O as opposed to generics, but WHY these two? It's like they intentionally went with the worst ones they could find.


Incidentally, is this Kre-O's first Unicron Trilogy homage?

Will Donny Finkleberg be a mail-in?

Only if Tommy Kennedy is the Exclusive Kreon at SDCC next year

what, no fred and billy?

[Mindmaster]

I'm interested in how they look. I'm a sucker for homages.

Kicker looks to be a fairly close representation of the Energon character, though Daniel appears to be a generic soldier with a name slap.
