THRUSTINATOR!!! :KREMZEEK: :KREMZEEK: :KREMZEEK:

I feel the spiky blonde-haired boy seems familiar, but I can't think of who he is.

Ok, so basically, Wheeljack invents a potion which can power Kreons up, but renders its torso see-through, giving new meaning to "sheer power"

*ba dam tshhhhhhhhhhhhhh*

Seriously, Megatron puts on a sheer negligee made by Knockout (I think) in the hopes of achieving the same effect. He only gets laughed at, so Megatron knocks out Knockout.

*ba dam tshhhhhhhhhhhhhh*

Maybe, but isn't there already a Kicker Kreon?

This kid looks younger to me, anyway.

Seeing how the manga Rodimus and Kup look very different from the ones we're getting, I'm afraid these cameos are no indication of upcoming toys. Image

(Could they even sell Thrustinator at retail? He seems to be TFCC's creation, like Shattered Glass, so I wouldn't expect that Hasbro/Takara could)




But that "sheer" pun! :lol:

Wheeljack
Optimus Prime
Minerva
Megatron

* - Regarding the blonde-haired kid's identity, Andrew Hall went and asked the artist of this piece, Hayato Sakamoto, who it's supposed to be:

This is a good one. Anybody figured it out?
It's a character from Armada, and holding a fish.
An obscure Armada human, eh?

Incidentally, Sakamoto is also the artist who drew Thrustinator in that TCC comic we first saw him in, thus explaining Kreon Thrustinator's sudden appearance here so soon after his Deluxe toy's reveal. ;)

......... Doubleface?
*checks wiki, which brings up Sideways*
Oooooh. Wait, where's he in the comic? Don't tell me you identified him purely by that purple foot.


Incidentally, I wonder how they'd handle Sideways/Doubleface's distinct heads in Kreon form. Would probably just use that Galvatron helmet...

Not me, but someone else elsewhere pointed this out:

If we ever see his face, it'll probably look like his standard Mini-Con-less head.

Not sure which helmet would work best for it, though, or if a helmetless look would work best. ;)

The identity of the blonde-haired kid has been revealed.

First and foremost, turns out this kid is a girl.

Secondly, Andrew Hall went and confirmed who she is:
Hydra wrote:It's one of the kids from Carnival who was featured in the Micron Densetsu Sourcebook.

Apparently the character design was a parody of anime character "Sazae-san."

^ Huh, Kreon homages just get more and more obscure. Crankstart, Thrustinator, that Yankees baseball cap-wearing junkyard bot, and now her:

I still think "sheer power" is a better pun :lol:

WHAT STRENGTH! I AM DEFEATED...!

I didn't notice it before, but is Megatron on the ground throwing a temper tantrum like a little kid? :lol:

And I love how Wheeljack's creation evidently involved explosions. ...though one can imagine it wasn't entirely intentional.

Optimus on the toilet? OK.

See, this is how you do kid friendly and simple. But shockingly, it can still appeal to older fans.

But what do I know, I don't have all the business degrees under my belt that good 'ol hasbro execs do. Silly me.

This also makes me want to collect Kre-o. These comics are awesome :D
